I never worry about brand, I just go into a shop and buy something that's half decent and cheap.

Re: Fashion Complaint (4.00 / 2)

That was traditionally why I sought out the brand. I generally like the look of them. They've traditionally been a lot more durable than generic brands I've worn, they can be worn with anything but a suit, and they always sold at the kind of prices you'd typically find at the megabox retailers like Wal-Mart and Target, despite not being a megabox shoe.

Now I'm stunned to find how much the big brands -- Michael Jordans, etc -- sell for. $200 for a pair of shoes?!
