    Bro I have bad feet after years of wearing shitty chucks and vans. $100 is like the entry level for good โ€œadultโ€ shoes. Even then youโ€™re probably walking around in some neon Asics or something.

    edit: orthotics are your friend but theyโ€™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, youโ€™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 youโ€™ve got big feet or want nicer boots than me, that can range up to about $150, anything higher than that is designer bullshit. Donโ€™t fall for a brand name.

        Thatโ€™s what they saidโ€ฆ they said they had bad feet from years of wearing those shitty shoes.

      Iโ€™m sorry but $100 is absolutely not โ€œentry-levelโ€

      Stop paying for logos. Youโ€™re being scammed.

        Friend Iโ€™ve worn 50 different brands at a dozen different price points, until youโ€™re a podiatrist you donโ€™t have a clue what youโ€™re talking about.
