There's no way I could justify $500 boots.
King, the only way I can is I am in the shoe business and for the last 30 years I have paid next to nothing for most of my dress shoes, casual shoes and athletic shoes. The only kind of shoes I ever pay retail on (most of the rest range between free and 40% off wholesale) are hunting boots. No matter what I pay, I'm still ahead of the game.
As well, a big part of my business is in orthopedic footwear, so having something that fits properly AND does what it is supposed to do, is a pretty high priority.
Also, what I think is funny is that for all the grief we give women about shoes, this thread is up to 50 posts.
Raimey, your kids look like they are having a great time. I have a 7 year old boy. Sure is fun age. He was just giving me poop last night because I don't take him scouting for game enough. He's was mad because he was with him mum yesterday while I was scouting turkey.
