Are the expensive sneakers worth the cost?
user
I have a friend who is a shoe designer.  She would say that your shoe’s quality depends on the quality of the materials and the craftsmanship.  I’m not a shoe expert myself, but I would say that even a $30 pair of shoes is probably quite flimsy and poorly made.  What’s a $100 pair of shoes like?  I hope you feel better about those and can justify the cost.

Some people think so, but others don’t think so.
