| 872385 | 2010-04-03 04:38:00 | Hi Guys In my job I need good walking shoes. So I buy myself a new pair of running shoes each year. (on special if I can find them) Two years ago I bought some nice ones from Smith Sports Shoes for $75 which I though was a fair price. Today I went in to buy a pair being prepared to spend about $70 or $80. The only shoes (Mens) for that price were strange looking ugly black shoes. All the running shoes that were on special were from $199 down to $129 etc. That is a price rise of nearly 100% and we all know that Chinese wages have only gone up a bit. So I though s.. that and went across the road to The Number 1 Shoe Warehouse where I bought some very nice Dunlop shoes with a nice comfy sole for $49.95 (normal price). I spent the money I saved on some new re-chargeable batteries. |

If I have the toe area stitched I could use them a bit more. My latest pair have been in use for two years so far, with little sign of wear. Each pair cost me a bit more than 200 bucks, and it's clear they were a good buy. |
