What do you think about the price of shoes....

You guys are nuts. I've never paid over $30 for a pair of shoes. I'm wearing my steel-toed work shoes right now and they run me about $25 every two years. They're the longest lasting shoes I own. They're great for hiking too which I do a lot of. Then of course I have my bright green US Polo shoes that were $14.99 at Burlington Coat Factory. All shoes are cheap there. My Nevados hiking boots, $20. As far as fancy heels and such, mine have all come off the clearance racks at bridal stores. You'd be surprised what I can find for under $25.

Not nuts - when I can, I pay less than $30, but I have to pay more, sometimes, to get shoes that fit my feet and don't hurt. Boots like workboots can be problematic, because if I get them wide enough to fit the front of my foot, the back of the boot is so loose my heel can wobble around inside, and I get blisters. I only wear my workboots for shoveling snow, and for snowy days, and take them off as soon as I get where I need to be. My favorite are my $3 sneakers, when I can get them - hot pink! But not every outfit goes well with hot pink sneakers!

Count yourself lucky you can wear cheap shoes, i simply cannot,and i cannot afford to buy expensive ones either, so i end up getting one pair,and that is it ,unless my kind mother buys me a pair, which she often does, bless her.

Actually i think good shoes are quite important really for everyone, supporting your arches,not squishing your toes etc,helps your posture and any problems you may have as you get older, regarding your back etc.

I used to be a non believer in buying Nikes etc, and thought the cheaper brands were just as good until i actually bought a pair and wore them, their is no comparison really,and that was before i had problems with my feet.

Anyhow just my opinion.
