Should you spend more money on footwear to make it last?
Whilst you may think spending more on footwear will make it last longer, this is not necessarily true!
You can still find high quality footwear at affordable prices that will last just as long as an expensive pair.
However, this will depend on what type of footwear you’re looking for. If you’re an avid runner, it may make more sense to invest more in a high quality pair of trainers and set yourself a lower budget for a quality, everyday shoe.
