The cheapest I have been able to buy "good" shoes has been around $50. I wear a women's sized 12 Narrow. You can't just go to Wally World and pick a pair off the shelf! On top of it I have one, just one, foot that is flat.
No holes, but I have burned off the rubber sole near the tip of my right shoe, on my black pair. I was warming my feet a little too close to the campfire. I wear socks if I'm wearing them to work, otherwise I go sockless.
what a waste, I could have bought a new purse with that!
My wife certainly tries to... Every time I go to Texas I end up having to bring coach purses back to Michigan. I hate it when I am forced to do it when I fly because my carry on is always searched when they find 10+ purses in my carry on... just sayin'
