The pros and cons of buying cheap shoes
When you need a new pair of shoes, does price play into your decision? Most people would say, "Sure, it does!" The trick is knowing when cheap shoes are your best value. In certain cases, you're better off spending a little more. Let's take a look at the pros and cons of the shoe purchase issue. Men typically have a few pairs of shoes, but women tend to have as many as can fit in the closet. Men are usually best off investing in a well-made, albeit expensive pair of shoes. Men aren't so much into the fashion aspect as durability and comfort. On the other hand, many women change shoes as often as they change hand bags. Women want a variety of styles, so their shoe repertoire offers many options for their costumes.
Let's say you're attending a wedding and need a pair of shoes to match that fancy dress. You may not wear these shoes but a few times. If you find the perfect match at a cheap shoe sale, take this factor into consideration. They'll look great, but may not stand up to continuous wear. The cheap shoe may also be lacking in comfort. You make the choice. For just a few hours wear, why spend $100 on a shoe that will last, but you'll not have the occasion to wear?
Casual shoes, like beach sandals, usually don't warrant paying a high price. Cheap shoes are probably a good choice here. If you're running around in the sand or digging in the garden, this sandal is going to sustain damage quickly. However, with a fancy pair of sandals, such as you might wear out partying or to the office, a better quality shoe will serve you better.
If you're into sports, cheap shoes won't do. Invest in shoes that will be comfortable and durable. So-called bargain hiking boots will be a waste of money. If you're a runner, avoid the blisters. Just bite the bullet and pay the price of a good shoe. A good shoe will last many times longer than the bargain shoe.
When buying shoes for growing children, don't buy cheap shoes. Buy the best you can afford. Children's feet are growing and developing. These little feet need a good last to prevent flat feet, a comfortable fit for all that running around and good construction for protection against injuries during play. Poorly fitting shoes as a constant shoe diet can lead to bone deformities as well. Although kids outgrow shoes quickly, a better shoe is well worth the price.
So now you've got the basic rules on buying cheap shoes. There are plenty of occasions to take advantage of that BOGO shoe sale!
