[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they are the same price as any sneaker? my 6 year old has them. They are $65[/quote]

lol. The life you live. I have a kid who has always been really into shoes a dive indulged that so I am not criticizing someone spending a lot on shoes. That said, there are tons of sneakers to be had for less than $65. Tons. Not many Nikes, that’s all. [/quote]

My son has flat feet and orthotics so I can’t buy the $30 shoe that will fall apart and have a hole in them a month. I spend a bit more and they last longer. You just buy cheaper shoes more often. Invest in a good pair that won’t have the sole separate after a few wears and you’ll save money in the long run.[/quote]

This makes a lot of sense for teens or even middle schoolers.  8 yr old feet still growing ![/quote]

The good shoes wear about at about the same rate of growth. The garbage shoes last maybe one month or two. You kid isn’t going up a size every 30 days.[/quote]

People trying save $15 over the course of a year on the child’s shoe is weird. I’m not talking about people who actually have to scrimp and save to eat and pay rent/childcare. But I look around and people are buying soft drinks and popcorn at movies (heck I don’t even go to the movies bc of price), or paying a crazy amount for prepackaged snacks. “Coffee” drinks I see people paying $5-6 for.

I do buy non-air Nikes for my child, but we are not spending $2-3 pp on drinks either. [/quote]
