Shopping for Shoes

These days, there are shoes on the market that cost more than the per capita income of some developing nations. Do you really need to spend $150 for a pair of shoes? No doubt, all of the shoes on the market that cost more than $100 are well-made, but that doesn’t mean they’re necessary. Many running shoes have more to do with marketing hype than with helping you to run better. Let’s face it: Like other people, some runners are driven by status. They just have to have the newest shoe with all the fancy colors and the cool logos. If that’s you, and if it helps you feel better about yourself as a runner, then by all means, purchase the high-ticket items.
