Debate: Does Buying Cheaper Shoes Hurt Your Feet?

This is a myth that has been circulating over the past few years or even decade. They say having an expensive or a branded pair of shoes will give you more comfortable feeling and satisfaction than having cheaper ones. As a fan of cheaper and non-branded shoes, I personally think that this is not a myth nor a rumour. Buying a pair of cheap shoes might not hurt your feet. I personally think that buying a cheaper pair of shoes is like choosing a quick fix method to solve your problems. I've been in many situations where my shoes were torn apart after I had worn them for just couple of weeks. They might not hurt your feet, but they definitely break your heart. Therefore, I had made a pledge some time ago that I would never buy any shoes for less than Rp300,000 or around US$300.

I'm not a fashionista nor a fashion expert. But, I can assure you that buying expensive or branded shoes will give you more pros than contras, satisfaction and feel good feeling when you wear them in your daily activities. I'm not saying that I will stop buying cheap shoes (coz if you are a really good shopper, you might actually get a bargain), I'm just saying if you go for a quality in purchasing things such as shoes, it won't hurt to pay a bit more to get what you want. Does buying cheaper shoes hurt your feet or not? well, you just need to try them on before you buy them. In the end, expensive shoes equal to quality while cheap shoes are temporary. What do you think?
