How cheap have you bought everyday shoes/sneakers?

[Anonymous]

👟 I bought mine earlier today for $7 AUD (USD $4.96 at current rate today) when I was desperate, my shoe caught a hole unexpectedly (though a week or two ago I was wonder if my grips were wearing out). Here's poof, yes it really happened and it's really my photo. Cheaper than the stereotype of an American $5 USD haircut💈

Must've cracked walking on some dirty/stone paths between carparks (parking lots) to the shops (the mall). Had been raining, so I was desperate. How's that - $7 shoes. Cheapest tennis joggers I've bought from the same discount department store. Prior to that, my record gratefully had been a clearance sale of $25 AUD or so from memory. Hooray me, thank you Good Lord. 😛🙌😈😋🤭👟

I've bought cheaper than yours even

I buy / I've bought more expensive

I don't shop at discount department stores for anything - ever. 🏬

Across the street from my Elementary School there was a sneaker factory. They had an outlet store where you could buy rejects. Every year my mother would give my brother and me ten bucks and we would go across the street and buy sneakers. They were 5 bucks a pair.

I paid £45 for my latest pair of Skechers. Seemed like a good deal to me.

That’s an absolute steal 😂 $7 AUD for emergency sneakers is wild, especially when you actually needed them right then. Honestly, for “everyday beaters,” that’s perfect. My personal cheapest was around $10–12 USD on mega-clearance, and they lasted surprisingly well. Your $7 pair totally wins though. Bless discounted shoes and desperate shopping runs 🙌🥿

I buy the best of the best you get what you pay for and they will last for years

However like tyres / tires - "eventually" all tread wears out & eventually : no matter what you buy or fork out for 🍴🍽️

Yeah, but I’ve gotten some cheap boots and they’re uncomfortable and they hurt I might pay a lot more money, but there will last for 2 1/2 to 3 years and they’re very comfortable and you can do everything in them

@Iron_Man I have wide feet. One time I bought s pair of running sheos at the New Balance outlet store. I ran in the rain one day and when I took them off my feet were blue. That is why they were reject.

@exitseven well I hope your feet are OK. I guess they are. Do you still like the product? The shoes?

[exitseven]

Those shoes were 20 years ago. I still buy them. there is a local show store that still measures your foot. I buy them there.
