Once you're older than 15 you will discover that a few things in life can have a massive impact on your general well being and health, and it absolutely makes sense to spend big on those. Good shoes are one of these things, a quality mattress appropriate for your body type is another.
I didn't say not to buy quality shoes, but those are $100 max, if someone spends more on a logo, they're a chump.
When you're older than 15, your reading comprehension will improve and you'll be better able to understand what grownups mean with their words.
Bro I have bad feet after years of wearing shitty chucks and vans. $100 is like the entry level for good "adult" shoes. Even then you're probably walking around in some neon Asics or something.
edit: orthotics are your friend but they'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, you'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 you've got big feet or want nicer boots than me, that can range up to about $150, anything higher than that is designer bullshit. Don't fall for a brand name.
That's what they said... they said they had bad feet from years of wearing those shitty shoes.
