    I think the price of shoes is... high. Since I broke my ankle last fall I had to buy 2 new pairs of shoes for work. One blue and one black. I got the black ones at the Naturalizer store at the mall, and the blue ones (Propét) on zappos.com because I needed a size and width that the stores don't often carry.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    I have two types of shoes- work/riding and everyday. My work ones cost a lot. I am going to have to buy some field boots, and to find some that fit my leg right I think I'll have to go at least $300. Customs would be great but they start at about $600 and that's way too much unless I'm competing every weekend or something.
    Everyday shoes I like converse. Easier to fit me (no womens or mens, all unisex) and colorful. I also love my nike hiking boots I bought basically new without tags in a consignment store for $15.

    I ordered a new pair of sneakers on zappos.com because I could search by size and width. Since I broke my ankle my other sneakers fit tight, which is a bummer because they are super comfortable Propét's. I got them at DSW which sometimes has wide width shoes, sometimes not. Anyway, they are too tight. I ordered a pair of Avia's from zappos on the 7th, I received a free upgrade to express shipping - no tax, free delivery and they arrived on the 9th. They are so pristine white I hate to wear them! Reminded me of when I worked on the floors and used to get new shoes a couple times a year. Everyone always said "Oh, Elyse got new shoes" because they'd be all clean and white and not beat up. I had Nurse Mates in college but when I started my first job I bought a pair of Reebok sneakers and never went back to duty shoes!

    My mom likes the shoe departments at Nordstrom and Von Maur really well. Von Maur is a midwest, family-run group of department stores. You all know Nordstrom I bet. My mom has a hard time getting good shoes too.

    My friend and I used to go in Von Maur and laugh at the prices. And get ideas of stuff to knit or make.

    Shoe's, when I can find them in my size usually arent to expensive. Chuck Taylors run big so I can wear a size small and be comfortable

    A good set of workboots will run me close to $300 USD.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    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.
