Do you only wear name-brand sneakers?

Question

youngmix · Accepted Answer

I only purchase shoes that have a brand.

I have some sneakers that I bought because of how they look, namely some black Nike Air Force 1's, Jordan 1's, and the Jordan XIV's. I think that these shoes are very comfortable as well. If they weren't comfortable, then I wouldn't own them.

Most of the sneaks I purchase are the most comfortable shoes that I try on. I usually shop at high-end sporting goods stores. Recently, I have been shopping at Sport's Basement for my sneaks. Once in a long while, I will reject a shoe because of its color or design, but most of the exercise and walk around shoes that I have seen are stylish enough.
I also usually end up purchasing some of the most expensive shoes in the store. This is not intentional, it just happens consistently.

I also pick certain sneakers because they match some outfits that I don't have any shoes for, but they have to be very comfortable for me to pick and keep them. Nike has been pretty consistent.

On a side note, Burberry has some of the most insane fashions in existence. Like, completely nonsensical. Look through their website for a while, and I guarantee that you will find something that is completely insane. I owned a pair of sneaks from them, and I was like, "Wtf is the point of this? These kind of suck."

It's fine if they're of good quality and looks pretty, it serves it purpose anyway

I do. I only buy Nike's. It's not so much the brand name as it is that I bought cheap Walmart shoes for a while and developed temporary foot problems. I learned that most shoes Walmart sells have no arch support. When you buy a shoe it should bend at the toes, but NEVER the MIDSOLE. Most cheap Walmart shoes do. After I switched back to Nike my foot issues went away.

Name brand only. I learned the hard way. Buying cheap shoes isn't the way to go.

I saw some very nice white and green shoes at family Dollar for 10 bucks and brought them and my feet felt like it was on literal fire. LOL

CurlyGirl42 · Answer

If I see something that looks and feel like quality (especially important for sneakers which I mostly wear for comfort and not the aesthetics), then I don't care for a specific brand. But it is rare I see any that are cheap and has an unknown brand in normal stores (I don't shop for shoes online), so in practice I think I only have name-brand sneakers, which are luckily not that expensive on sale.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

Generally, yes, almost always Adidas.

I just like basic designs and the main reason why I don't generally buy much cheaper than them, is because I'm paranoid about the quality of them, although I have considered buying some sneakers from Chinese websites like AliExpress and Wish.

I wear name brand only, but I have a legit reason for it. I wear New Balance (insert 40+ year old joke here 🙄), but the reason why is because I had foot issues when I was younger and New Balance shoes are the only ones that keep my feet happy. I have tried many other brands and styles, but New Balance are the only ones that have the foot support I need.

LaFerrari · Answer

No, I wear what's comfortable and cheap, my current daily and hiking shoes are non name brand and have lasted years and plenty of miles, all for $15. Putting a logo on name brand items magically becomes $250+ more when factories make them for $10-$50, its all about advertising and marketing when it comes to name brands, some are of quality sure, but some aren't at all.

Sun_Kim-Ai · Answer

No, I only wear leather shoes. Some brand, some custom made.

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Depends. Comfort, well fit come first.  I am willing to spend money on good quality/comfortable shoes. I spend more on other brand name stuff for fun,

RobT312 · Answer

Open to any brand, but for athletic use I’m typically using brand names because they are comfortable and have the best performance….. New Balance, Hoka , and Nike are favorites

Jamesshinobi · Answer

i worked at a sneaker factory. its the same mexicans, usimg the same tools, and the same pig skins, for every shoe made. the only difference is we slap a different lable on them. one we sell to Kmart for $10 and they sell it for $19 the other we sell for $10 and they sell to you for $100. idiot. ask Shaq.
