Buy Amurkin.

Between $200 and $300.

I don't do cowboy boots so that keeps the price down.

150 range for me. I usually buy merril shoes because i have to take my shoes on and off a bunch of times a day going through people's houses and they are comfortable as hell to me.

Ill murder a pair of shoes in 6 months though....so i wont spend too much.

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

I don't skimp on the footwear, no problem dropping some cheddar on a good pair.

$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.

Depends on the kind of shoe brah

I don't really spend more than 80 bucks on tennis shoes. Between 100-150 for dress shoes or casual shoes and the like. 500 for a well made pair of boots isn't unreasonable though.

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).

You really wanna know? Or just asking so you can call someone a douche/tool/braggart for telling the truth if it's a lot?

I wish they would get rid of Tounces and put the new tiger on these so that I can get a pair.

Athletic shoes - Less than 100

Business casual/dress shoes - 350 or so

Boots - 400/500, but wouldn't happen often.

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.
