    Bro I have bad feet after years of wearing shitty chucks and vans. $100 is like the entry level for good “adult” shoes. Even then you’re probably walking around in some neon Asics or something.

    edit: orthotics are your friend but they’re not cheap either

      Chucks and Vans are definitely not good shoes. They are stylish shoes, but the shoe itself is a piece of cloth over a piece of cardboard. No wonder you have bad feet, bro, you’ve been walking on trash.

      I bought a pair of steel toe boots with good insole and arch support for about $85 three years ago and those things are still going strong. Comfy and durable. If you’ve got big feet or want nicer boots than me, that can range up to about $150, anything higher than that is designer bullshit. Don’t fall for a brand name.

        That’s what they said… they said they had bad feet from years of wearing those shitty shoes.

      I’m sorry but $100 is absolutely not “entry-level”

      Stop paying for logos. You’re being scammed.

        Friend I’ve worn 50 different brands at a dozen different price points, until you’re a podiatrist you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.
