$100 is nothing for sneakers these days

It is impractical probably but so are most things

---

Yes.

---

How is this a question

---

I've never played more than $70 and that was over 10 years ago

---

For shoes yeah. But I've paid over $200 for work boots before.
---

Its a little high, but crazy out of the ordinary.

Spending 200+ on shoes is wack though.

Kind of.. I exclusively buy DC and spend anywhere from $45 to $80 on a pair. Never higher than that.

There's no skimping on boots

Socks too. I'm on my feet for my entire 10 hour shift. Good boots and socks are a must.

That is on the low end for me. I get that not everyone drops 450 on a pair of sneakers like I have in the past, but I dont understand people who cant spend more than 50. The quality and comfort is more than worth it, and you spend more money on lower priced sneakers since lower priced sneakers dont last long anyway and you gotta buy more. Most people have a maximum price that they would pay, I honestly have a minimum in regards to MSRP

Yes

Nah. Depending on the shoe thats a pretty reasonable amount. Just dropped $190 a week or so ago on a pair.

depends on where you livin and your income

dumb:
-wearing $100 shoes where you can't avoid rain, dirt, gravel, and stompin in mud
-buying $100 shoes when that's 1/4 to 1/2 your paycheck or you collect bills like pokemon
-paying $100 for shoes that look like Walmart shoes
-showing off spendy clothes in an area where gangs are not rare, some thirsty fuckers will lift your kicks lol

---

No that's on the cheaper end from my perspective, the perspective of a serious sneaker enthusiast.

---

Its really hard to get a quality shoe for under 100 dollars Retail tbh.

shoes Dont start getting worth their money till around 80-90 dollars anyway

---

i could be buying much nicer shoes than sneakers for that so yeah

---

It is if they are ugly

---

buy for 100 and sell for 1000

Yes, but I dont really care about having dope sneakers. I just want something that looks good and is comfortable, which I can easily find for less than 50.

But if you're into sneakers than go for it. I spend more on whiskey than some people would. But it's something I enjoy and it's worth it to me.

Oh the ones I bought Im planning on them lasting until I no longer wear sneakers or are forced to get rid of them, if I ever even get rid of them and they will be in perfect shape the entire time.

---

Not really. I used to spend good money on sneakers, not anymore though. Its kind of a meme and now im near my mid 30s i feel somewhat goofy in a lot of sneakers that i once loved..

Now I just stick with nike blazer low (white and red swoosh only), nike cortez (white with either dark blue or black swoosh), and New Balance 574 on the rare occasion i wear sneakers. Otherwise its brown Clark wallabees or black Solovair lowtops 95% of the time

Kind of want some jordan 1s but just cant justify it these days. Ive become such a cheap ass and i dont think i could wear them anymore.

For sneakers yes, for a good pair of boots no.

---

I dont buy shoes that are that expensive.

---

For running shoes it can make a pretty big difference.

Adidas Energy Boosts are worth the $120 retail price.

---

I can't see myself spending more than $60 on shoes I can't get resoled.
