You pay for what you get. $400.00 for quality footwear vs $400 for the below?

Quit. You know that is not the answer. Regular households can not afford that.

No argument there.




Those who put "shareholder value" over everything else.




It's the consumer. The housewife stuck buying her kids shoes or food.

It wasn't the shareholders. It was the politicians and their NAFTA's and Global World Order.

Where was the compassion for the housewife who had to live through 9% inflation over the past four years, where prices when up anywhere from 22 to 60%. Just like the whining about lost federal jobs but no one said shit about the thousands that lost their jobs to big pharma's poison shots or the lefts radical and unhinged fight against energy.

They did not care then; they do not care now. Now, it's just a fucking talking point to be used against the Orangeman after they spent four years saying the the President doesn't control any of that.

They don't care.

Neither do I.

Have a nice day.

The wife used to buy leather SAS shoes for work....They would usually last 3-4 years of work week wear. Back then they were around $150 a pair.....Less than $50.00 a year is what is called value for your buck.

When I was a kid I got one pair of pf flyers at the start of each summer. They were so well made that none of them ever wore out. Got passed along to younger brothers, cousins and so forth. Damn things went on for 10, 15 years.

I didn't play little league. No new tennies for summer. Got mine before school started. PF Flyers were cool, then changed Converse All Stars.

I addressed that. First there are very few shoes made in the U.S.

Simple jargons are worthless.

Now you can argue that we can build shoe factories. We can but that takes time and is expensive.

The housewife who paid $40 last year isn't going to be happy with paying $75.

Now we can understand your views because this will affect the social agendas system. And all of those goodies that come from it. Lower cost foreign products enable this. Of course, you guys go straight to social security, Medicare and the Veteran's Administration to blur all of the other agendas and programs. DOGE must be showing a kernel of just a smidgen of what you are doing. Add Progressive state, local and city concurrent agendas and this is a potential catastrophe not seen in human history.

No, business left to increase "shareholder value".

The price of shoes is not a social agenda. Quit leaping off cliffs.

They are. They can cost a lot of money for status with different ethnic and racial backgrounds.

Last year's Traxx made for the next summer's wading/river shoes.

I see nice kid's shoes all the time at the flea market for a couple of bucks a pair. I bought the G-Grandkid a new pair of Crocs for $3.00 last year.....I looked them up and they were $40.00 retail.

Local Social Service offices have scads of kids clothes and footwear as well as car seats, toys, etc. They are free for the taking.....Then they are all kinds of stores ran by Goodwill or some hospice .org they can avail themselves of.

Parents just need to get off their dead ass and look for them.

I take nice clothes and shoes that the G-Grandkid grows out of to his learning daycare and leave them, they are never there when I go back. Most of the kids there have parents that are well to do but they don't pass-up free good stuff.

 

[Crepitus]

Probably the worst offender of child labor and slave label wages in the past 100 years.
They can take the 1000% markups and shove them up their ass. Let's see how much fun they have in China trying to pull the same shit they pull here.

All the "fast fashion" crap is that way.

And who ever decided collecting shoes was a thing?

Women.

Women.

Everyone I know collecting sneakers is a millennial male.

Just stop. Your solution is incredibly expensive shoes or go to Goodwill. Both lousy choices for a vibrant middle class.

Meh, go be poor and lazy with your expensive tastes someplace else then.

 

[justoffal]

Simple truth.

Buy Ameican and you won't pay any tariffs at all, ever.

No shoe makers? Maybe some enterprising American will start a company. Who knows.

I don't care, not one little bit.

Get your shoes however you want, just stop whining about it. Man up.

Shoe making kits are available from arts and crafts

Well They shouldn't.
