Comments on: Something light: Shoes and the city http://online.worldmag.com/2008/06/10/something-light-shoes-and-the-city/ A forum for discussion of news that arises at the intersection of Christianity and culture.

As for cutting how much I spend, well… I spend under $1,000 a year. The New Balance shoes are $140 a pop; but they do fit. Two pair a year really cuts into my clothing money. JC Penney does have quality clothing, underwear anyway. I tend to stain my clothes way to often. You are probably not familiar with Big Dog. Shorts, Tees and Hawaiian. Also quality. My wife says I need to get rid of some clothes. I do have too many church shirts, holey, holey, holey… Thank you about my writing.

Meanwhile, I must say that however you dress, you're writing on this blog is excellent.

Lands' End, particularly their Overstocks, seems to consistently work pretty well for me. I was taught to buy the best value I can find for the smallest price I can find.

“My father taught me to buy few but excellent quality clothes including shoes.”

My father taught me to buy cheap.

I’m afraid that I think $140 is a lot to pay for shoes. I don’t like spending money for “quality clothes.’ I buy Big Dog or JC Penney catalog. Someone has to like clothes, just not me.
