In the desert shoe selection is easy:
$150 Red Wing Electrical Rated Boots for work and flip flops for all other
times.
Well...all right...cross trainers for the Y.

I find that everywhere around here sells shoes made in China with different
names on them. Even the Nike's and such are Chinese made. I looked at
Wally World and Dick's sporting goods....EVERY pair on the shelf, no
matter
the price said made in China on the tongue.

If you wear another pair of socks, two pair total, you can go much

I rarely pay more than $30 for sneakers/running shoes.
They usually have a manufacturing cost of $5 a pair or
less these days, but the New Balance that I try to buy
have a certain level of US content and likely cost more
to make. My last shoe purchase: Meijer's (kind of like
a midwest only Walmart) had a buy one, get one for a buck
sale on all shoes. The $1 pair couldn't cost more than the
pair you were paying for. They also had 25% off on New Balance.
The sneakers I wanted were tagged $65, so they were a bit under
$49. I picked up a pair of $50 Nunn Bush (now made in India)
loafers for the office, paid a buck for the sneakers, and
paid $51 for all. Normal "discount store" price on the shoes
was $115. I could have just as easily bought two of the $65
running shoes for $50 total that day. I never pay more than
half price for shoes at that store.
