June 2, 20179 yr $0.00 If I need a new pair of shoes, I buy them. Definitely don't buy on an annual basis. Same, I'd guess I spend around $200-300 a year on shoes. I also have to buy inserts for my shoes so add another $100 maybe.
June 2, 20179 yr What does the word need mean though? Very loose interpretation or very literal interpretation. See I need shoes but I don't need shoes if you get what I'm saying. So you want shoes. :lol2:
June 2, 20179 yr I'm good for about 2 pair a year. One work, one gymmer, but never spend much over $50 on either. I do need a new pair of golf shoes and that will be expensive. The wife on the other had has an unlimited amount of shoes she will buy!! Funny, every time I ask her if she got a new pair, she tells me "no, I've had these forever". We will be going on a 5 day vacation. She will take 10 pairs of shoes.
June 2, 20179 yr Author Yeezy's will put you in the top bracket quick. But no not a fan. I wear dress shoes for 90% of my day, come home put some gym shoes for the gym then I am usually barefoot for the rest of the night. I buy around 1 or 2 new pairs of dress shoes a year typically from 100-150 a piece, new gym shoes about once a year and new loafers/boat shoes once a year. I'm not a yeezy fan either. But I do like the Ultra Boosts and NMDs a lot and those will put you back pretty quick as well.
June 2, 20179 yr I definitely don't have a budget. And I easily spend over $300 a year. That's 2-3 pair.
June 2, 20179 yr I don't buy shoes unless I absolutely have to. Only shoes I've probably bought in the last 5 years were new shoes for vending on two different occasions. Helped getting a new pair for coaching lol.
June 2, 20179 yr What does the word need mean though? Very loose interpretation or very literal interpretation. See I need shoes but I don't need shoes if you get what I'm saying. I don't buy new gym shoes unless my toes are poking through. That's "need" for me lol.
June 3, 20179 yr What kind of tennis shoes are you buying that are $60-80? Tennis shoes are expensive. I have NEVER spent over $50 for a pair of gym shoes.......NEVER! I have no desire to help the shoe companies pay the ridiculous contracts they extend to Pro athletes.......BTW, most of those shoes are hideous anyway.
June 3, 20179 yr $0.00 If I need a new pair of shoes, I buy them. Definitely don't buy on an annual basis. This. I may buy one pair a year. Maybe.

June 3, 20179 yr Usually about $100-130 a year for new hikers, which I also use for my side job of waiting tables/bartending. Those things are great on greased-up kitchen floors. And when they get unusable for work, they become mowing shoes. Usually about every 2 years I replace my flip-flops and house-slippers for $10 at a time at Walmart. I do need to invest in some new loafers though. But I don't wear them that much so it's an every 5 years kind of thing.
June 3, 20179 yr In the past year I've bought: 2 pairs of running shoes Black dress shoes Brown dress shoes Boots for hunting Somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 bucks I'd say. I don't budget for it though, I just buy shoes when I need them.

I used to be a wal mart running shoe guy, but over time they were destroying my knees because they didn't have much support. I bought Nikes for running and it's a night and day difference.

Nike, Adidas and Callaway. Total cost of $20.
