These little shoes might not look that great but trust me they have been doing an awfully good job since I first got them. They are a no name brand pair of shoes and as far as I am concerned they are as good as the branded ones. The ones that companies charge so much for, not because they are that much better. But more to pay for the ridicule amount of money they give to their "big athletes" to promote them. Are you of the same opinion as mine? P.S. Going for my walk now with my little cheap shoes.

I was in physical therapy for pain a few years back and was told to wear only New Balance. The therapist said that shoe has the support and with an insert in it I should be pain free. She told the truth. Mine are not no name but are not anywhere the price of the big names so I love them.

Sorry to disagree with you on this point. Years ago I was told the same at the gym. I bought New Balance shoes (cost me a fortune) and I was extremely disappointed.

@marlina Mine cost around $30. I usually buy them in the states on sale or at one of those huge outlet malls in the south. They work for me.

@marlina All of my shoes are no name. I look for total comfort in shoes, good wear and an affordable price.

whatever price or brand you choose, it has to be comfortable.

I tend to not spend much on shoes either, for the same reasons. As long as they're cofortable and do the job they're supposed to do. Hope you have / had a good walk.

Sounds like me, hehe. I've bought a lot of things that are cheap but of good quality. As long as they serve their function, why bother spending more?

As long as the person who buys them enjoys them, you are right, why pay more?

I agree there are some good no name brands out there, I bought some no name brand trainers (sneakers) , then a pair of gel insoles and my feet are great, well supported and comfy.... but I have also bought no name brands that turned out to be rubbish.

Of course, there are so many brands, some are really not good.

Absolutely. The old saying stands a fool and his money are soon parted! Why pay $100's for the same if not better stuff that is $$$$$ cheaper!

As long as a shoe is comfortable to wear and can be used over a long time then , we don't need a branded one .

I have to have comfortable shoes in order to function. I am a penny pincher so anyplace I can pinch, including shoes, I do
