Buy expensive shoes. Well, let me rephrase that. Buy GOOD shoes. A good pair of QUALITY shoes will save you money in the long term as they will last a lot longer than buying many pairs of cheap shoes.

As the old saying goes: being poor is expensive.

We aren't rich enough to buy cheap things

And shop around

Realized the 80 dollar slip resistant work shoes I got at Shoe Carnival were like 20 bucks at target. Same shoes, just didn't have a football player's name on the tag.

Put em side by side they look identical and I wear them interchangably not even noticing a difference

I would also argue that many pairs of shoes can also have the same effect. If you can rotate shoes, you're not wearing out any one pair excessively. I have shoes that are in still good condition but are a discontinued Adidas line that's not available anymore. Although I do have shoes I still haven't worn so there's definitely a point of having too many pairs lol
