I’m looking over a new pair of shoes I recently bought. My feet hurt after walking a few miles in them, so I inspected the insole area, and it was the cheapest 5mm foam imaginable with no other structural support. Below that is basically just the rubber sole. This shit cost $100.
This isn’t my first rodeo with overpriced, shitty shoes, so I always have a set of superfeet inserts on standby. Huge improvement, but fuck, why does everything have to be a rip off? Those inserts are $50 for some nicer foam and a simple sliver of molded plastic.
This brings me to the thread title: When was the last time you felt like you got your money’s worth for an item?
I got some barefoot Jim Green boots for about $200 last month, and they’ve quickly become my favorite boots.I wanted a comfortable very mendable boot, and so far they’ve exceeded my expectations.
