What he ment: “I can’t believe you actually brought this obvious Fake, who would sell name brand shoes for only 50% of the price” What he wrote: “Hehe”
You’ve been struck by a smooth criminal
hehe
He bought overpriced shoes - so he’s a dumbass - and he got them from some rando instead of an actual store. I guess he never heard the term “buyer beware.”
Yeah I guess you’re right. Amazon really should allow counterfeit goods because in all cases you are an idiot and it’s your fault if you buy them /s
Just because I had two opinions in the same comment doesn’t mean you should get the fleet the two. If you buy something without verifying its source you are stupid. If you buy overly expensive shoes you are stupid. See they’re two different things. I’m just using this case as a chance to jab at the stupidity of buying the overpriced shoes while also jabbing at the stupidity of buying something without verifying it’s authenticity. It’s a two-for-one.
Other people spending money on shoes is not your business. If you want to be in favor of a scammer, that’s on you. It’s pretty shitty regardless.
I think the expression is “Caveat emptor”, though it translates to “let the buyer beware”.
Lmao no sympathy for anyone who buys expensive shoes. You’re gonna cram your stinky feet in them then stomp around in the dirt. May as well buy designer toilet paper.
Edit: alright then ya’ll keep buying $600 shitkickers because they have a picture of a rich guy on the side or Limited Edition blorange-colored laces.
Buy decent shoes that last well and provide good support. Anything else is stupid.
Exceptions can be made for shoes that have a special purpose, e.g. hiking boots or dress shoes in my opinion. For everyday stuff I look for the cheapest neutral looking ones that fit well
Agreed on point about special purpose footwear. However disagree with both you and OPs point about not investing in footwear and seemingly choosing options based at least mostly on cost.
Cheap footwear leads to a variety of other health / joint / posture issues that cost far more in the long run.
All new shoes are going to feel okay when you first get them. Something people forget is how a cheap shoe will degrade over time. Common example is soles wearing down unevenly because say the insole or outsole is made out of something cheap. Now you need to walk on a slightly uneven footing for months till you buy a new pair, thus furthering the damage created by ever other cheap pair of shoes you’ve bought over the years.
Shoes, tires, matress; dont skimp.
Yeah, I see how that makes sense. I typically don’t buy “cheap” shoes but rather shoes for which there is likely a newer model available or the store has some other reason to get rid of the old stock and are therefore heavily discounted.
Yeah that’s a great way to get a quality pair of shoes! I’ve done similar… Or check out the lightly used rack at REI or something.
I struggled with my back being numb and tingly for 3 years over a pair of shoes wearing like this. Nearly drove me insane and a decade later I still have issues from time to time.
Glasses too, I’ve made the mistake of buying cheap and regretting damage done by bad lenses.
I never said to buy cheap shoes, you brought that up. But if someone spends $200+ because of a logo or color pattern, they’re a chump.
Hey man don’t take it personal that we disagree with your original point…if you meant to say something else, fair enough, but we all posting / responding to the OP which was more broad than what you are saying now.
Additionally, my response was more about quality of materials which may incrue extra costs and had nothing to do with buying over priced designer stuff. I agree with your new point, but thats not what you said initially.
“If you meant to say something else”
I did say something else. I don’t know what comment you think you read.
“That’s not what you said originally” Yes it is.
“We disagree with your original point/agree with your new point”
It’s the same point, and you clearly agree with it so what are you trying to accomplish here?
Not wasting energy explaining this to you. You’re clearly incapable of engaging with a disagreement which has lead you to double down and move a few goalposts around.
All criticism of your original point was done respectfully, its really not my problem if you can’t just acknowledge you misspoke in the first post… Its downvoted like 20+ times man. What other evidence do you need that maybe you didn’t communicate your thoughts clearly.
What disagreement?? What are you trying so hard to disagree about?
Buy good shoes, a good mattress, and a good chair. You’ll spend 95% of your life in them, be comfortable
Thank you!
