wearing cheap shoes/ boots a really mess up your feet even if you don't walk much !!!! Except when biking I wear some kina boots all the time Georgia Boot company or Irish setters or for slop and snow in winter I wear Herman suvivors the first 2 brands are in the $125.00 to $175.00 a pair range the Hermans are only $ 44.00 at Walmart but there made really really well IMO as good as they were 30 yrs ago ! A good pair of oil tanned boots with hard wear last me over 10 yrs .longer if I have them resoled . So if you are going to walk wear the best most comfortable shoes you can find and afford! It a pay off IMHO . Foot Dr bills from lousy shoes a kill u .
