re: How much are U willing to pay for a main pair of footwear?

I have 2 pair of everyday boots that were <$200. Just bought my first (and maybe last) pair of exotics that were $600.

Try to stay under $100 but usually never go over $150

All my dress/work shoes are $130 range, gym/everyday shoes $100 range. That's as much and more than I want to pay.

$150 to $200 for Ecco dress shoes

$85 to $145 for running shoes. I try on several and buy whatever feels best, no matter the price. Feet are too important to cheap out on.

Sneakers: $50-150 (it's either vans or air max)

Dress shoes: $100-160

And I have my Church's Oxfords that were $550

business shoes: $300

I rotate the shoes and use shoe trees and my dress shoes generally last 10-15 years (with resolings).

Less than $100. I buy on sale.

180. I've been wearing blundstone boots for about 6 years now. Can't bring myself to buy anything else.

I'll spend a lot on shoes. Nothing makes or breaks your look more than your shoes and other accessories. And really nice shoes will last a looooong time if properly cared for. Cobblers can fix the sole/heels if needed. And they tend to be way more comfortable than cheaper shoes. That being said, get the best you can afford. Don't overspend just to impress.

I'm worried about finding something affordable that is comfortable to walk around the hospital in the next couple years. I have a gimp ankle so comfortable shoes are a must for me.
