+1  My teen wanted a $180 shoes last xmas.  He is still growing.  I bought him a $80 cheaper version. He complained about it, nicely.

I told him he can buy himself such expensive shoes that he will probably outgrow in a year, and see how he feels about wasting that much money on something he can't keep for more than a year.

He shut up after that.

I told him I don't mind paying for that for his bday/xmas if that's what he wants, but only after he's stopped growing.[/quote]

That’s so lame. He won’t stop growing until he’s in college probably. [/quote]
are you 15?

Even if he grows to college, his feet will stop way before then.

I’m an adult and my running shoes are $130-180 per pair. I go through 3-4 pairs a year. I think the PPs point was that if shoes are outgrown in a year, what does it matter if they would have also worn out in a year?

Is it just because they are “fashion” sneakers? If he ran cross country or track, wouldn’t you buy the shoes he needed for his sport? If he wears through 3 pairs of cheaper $65 shoes, does it make you feel better than if he took care of one pair of $180 shoes?

Nothing lame about not wasting money.   You sound very immature.[/quote][/quote]
