Answer 1

Why are shoes so expensive? Every time I go to the mall to buy a new pair they are more expensive than the previous pair I purchased. It's crazy. How can shoes cost so much? When I was a kid, my mom bought me a 20-dollar pair of sneakers at the end of every summer. They certainly weren't the most beautiful-looking shoes ever made, but they were the right size. They took a lot of punishment without falling apart, and they protected my feet from rocks, broken glass, fire ants, and so on. What more could a person ask for?
Now, when I buy a pair of new shoes I spend a lot more than 20 dollars. If my mom knew how much my most recent pair of shoes cost me, she would fall out of her chair, and I bought the least-expensive pair I could find! The most frustrating part—other than doing math in my head to figure out how many hours I had to work to buy the shoes—is that the shoes I spent so much money on are not as well-made as the 20-dollar sneakers I had as a kid. Since I am not as active as I was when I was a kid, my new shoes will not be used as much as those old 20-dollar pairs were. Despite that, the new shoes will wear out faster than the 20-dollar pairs ever did. I will be looking for a new pair in five or six months. So, compared to the 20-dollar shoes of my childhood, I just spent four times as much money on a pair of shoes that will last half as long. Does this make sense to anybody? Maybe I will start going barefoot.
