New Shoes; Pay a lot or a little?

Tell you what. Don't buy cheap shoes. Don't buy cheap shoes. Don't buy cheap shoes. Say it with me now, come on, you can do it, help me out here, don't buy cheap shoes. Let's make it a mantra.

I cannot fathom, nor do I have the money to spend like $50-60 on every pair of shoes I buy/get/own. I think I have once or twice when I felt really strongly about them. But for the norm? Rich we are not. So I still do it; buy cheap shoes. Holy Mack. Today, my feet about fell off in these cute shoes. They are CUTE. But man do they HURT. $14.62 at WalMart. I was on it. Need brown shoes, they were there, I was there, it was fate. I mean come on, stylish cheap shoes for work? I'm on it.

Uh uh. Notsomuch. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice (or five hundred times) shame shame shame on me.

Then walked tonight thinking, yeah, I got this. Great googeley boogeley. Those shoes are never getting on my puppies again. Never ever. Now THAT is pain not worth it. Phew.

NEVER EVER BUY CHEAP SHOES. It's not worth it. I have damaged the plantars sheild of the bottom of my foot from wearing flip flops and cheap shoes and it's painful and chronic and there is nothing I can do about it. Learn from my horrible mistakes. A few really good for your feet shoes will last you for years and will add up after you buy a ton of cheap shoes you cant wear year after year.
I am tellin you sister.
