They look nice, but I never understood why people bought expensive shoes.
They're going to get dirty/scuffed up eventually
Why spend that much money when you can cut it in half
Spend the money you saved on meth and granola bars

The most expensive pair of shoes I've ever bought was £60, which is around $90. The entire ideology behind materialism is idiotic to say the least. The fact that someone with a $200 pair of shoes is viewed by the common youth as "cooler" than someone who wears basic $50 shoes, who has straight A's and isn't socially awkward is beyond me.
If you have to prove yourself to be a "cool" person by being $200 sneakers, here's an idea; Concentrate in school, get good grades, get a job or perhaps start your own business, earn your OWN money and buy these. It's all well and good that your parents or whoever can buy you these and you feel badass at school, but in the real word materialism isn't going to get you anywhere.
They are nice though, I just would never spend that amount of money on a pair of shoes that I will wreck in about 6 months of use.

I spend too little on shoes.. Literally all my shoes were bought for less than 10 pounds (I don't have a pound sign on this keyboard grrr). Anything worth more than 10 is second hand. Sometimes it's worth it to spend a little more money so that they last more than just a couple of weeks. Although, I agree with BreShiE somewhat. Sometimes it's just more money than sense.
