I have flat feet. Like table top flat. And all the knee and ankle problems that come with that. Good shoes are expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

All I wear anymore are Brooks Adrenaline sneakers. For work, it’s the all black ones.

They retail for $140 but Brooks has them on sale quite ofthen. When the new version comes out, the price gets cut to $90. They last about a year but they are the best shoe for my feet.

I was like you and wouldn’t spend over $50 for sneakers but those shoes turned to junk pretty fast.

If your feet ,ankles or knees ache, there's a very good chance that your a poor shoe choice might very well be the problem.

A good sturdy well fit shoe can do much to make your whole day more comfortable.

just bought a pair of Brooks Adrenaline for $79. Dicks outlet nearby. Not always what you want, when you want it, but I keep some stocked up

Best buddy had both knees replaced at 55 years of age.

There is no doubt in my mind that 45 years of purchasing cheap ass Payless and Wal mart shoes contributed greatly to his malady

I've been picking up Asolo goretex sneakers from Sierra Trading for like 8-10 years now. Each pair lasts 2-3 years of almost daily use, so the roughly 80-100$ price is worth it for me.

Two things I will never go cheap on, boots and mattresses.

Unfortunately, that does not seem so bad compared to others. My wife's sneakers, as she has gotten older and has some issues, are around $225 a pair.
