You. Are. A. Moron. If. You. Buy. Expensive. Shoes.

Title says it all. You're going to replace them in 6 months anyways so why pay $150-$300 for shoes, like Nikes. Damn. It's totally retarded. 50 bucks, fine; 70 bucks fine, but not $200. Think of all the things you could buy with $150 (after buying a $50 pair of shoes): 3 games, a Nintendo DS (but don't, those suck), clothes, an MP3 Player, PC upgrades, etc. And if you have that much money to blow on shoes, you deserve to die anyways.

Well that obviously all depends on the person. Runners, for example, can benefit from buying a good running shoe - a good running shoe that fits your foot well can make running easier and can actually help prevent running related injuries in your legs and knees. I'm sure the same goes well for other shoes like basketball shoes. They're specially designed to provide extra support at the ankle because players need to be able to change direction quickly, which puts a lot of strain on the joints in their feet.

Aside from that, spending several hundred dollars on a pair of shoes just to wear around is kinda dumb imo, but you have to look at it from the other way in:

You are a moron if you buy expensive computers/computer components

Why spend on that money on computers when you could be buying a good pair of shoes?
 
I bought a £60 pair of And1 trainers A: because its the only pair of trainers I could find in a size 13 and B: you can't side slide in boots or slippers.
 
... and for the record, wearing socks AND sandals/flip-flops at the same time is the worst fad ever. Seriously, the point of wearing sandals or flip-flops is to be nearly barefoot... wearing socks just kinda defeats that. If your feet are too ugly to be seen in public, wear your damn shoes.

So you wear those all the time? Even outside?

Here you would be considered mentally unstable if you wore slippers outside of your house :p

Yep, always. I don't have any other shoes.

When I first wore them, people made remarks and looked at me in a strange way. Now, I'm known for wearing slippers. I just like the feeling of freedom when you're walking... it makes you think you're a real ninja.

Plus, I get so much control when I play haki.
 
The only time I have worn slippers outside my house is when I dressed up as shrek. Felt weird wearing slippers in a bar!
 
Well i skate(board :|) and spend anything upto £80 quid on a pair, but it really is needed as they are sepcially made for sk8in, with extra protection,padding etc. But i do agree if its just to look trendy then its a waste of money.

Surely if you want to look trendy its not a waste of money?

Its kind of like saying 'why buy Half-life 2 for £40 when you can get Theme Hospital for £5?'
 
I like Bape Sta x Kaws. Or New Balance MT580. Or Nike Dunk Low Pro SB. My friend got a pair of Gucci.
 
I buy what is comfortable and cheap.

I don't need a symbol to dictate who I am.

I usually buy really low top sneakers from Wal-Mart...and then buy a 500 dollar gpu.

=D
 
Yea, same colors. Man, we all have good taste.

[group hug]

Ennui... E, E, Ennui!
 
For the last two years my everyday shoes have been a pair of Groundwork Safety Boots I got for £20.

They've been through mud, snow, and driving rain and came out looking fine. The steel toe-caps have broken more than a few things and I didnt flinch when my friends idiot dad ran over my foot with a 2-ton jeep.

Safety Boots ftw!
 
How the hell are you still talking?

-stabs in face with machinegun-

Yeah, I did it.
 
I wear some Peter Werth shoes - before that I had some really nice Levis. I spend too much on shoes tho ;(

same thing could be said for getting the best video card every 6 months. despite that, heres a little-known fact.

some people have different interests in life than you do. :dork: maybe the person doesn't like video games, prefers listening to their vinyl collection, and only uses their computer for email. maybe having new shoes makes them happy. maybe being handcuffed to a bed while they make love also makes them happy. maybe being handcuffed to a bed while they are wearing nothing but their expensive nikes makes them the happiest of all. if it does, more power to them.

im reminded of a man who also thought certain people deserved to die because they were different than he was. not naming any names, but it starts with hit and ends with ler.
