Why is it that my 15 year old son- soon to be 16 totally INSISTS on buying the most expensive tennis shoes ever!!!!????? God forbid i get them at Walmart- he would go barefoot before wearing walmart shoes!!! Is it really that big a deal????? Geeze!

Teens/ and tennis shoes???? GUYS!?
when teens are at this age they want to be part of the crowd and the only way of becoming part of the crowd is to bye designer clothers shoes or do something stupid like smoking or drinking so if i were you i would bye them for him or he might try to find another way of becoming part of the crowd and that could be dangerous

Reply:at there age they see there friends wear the expensive kind and are afarid of being teased at school by there friends if they wear the cheap kind.


if money allows you to buy him a pair i say go for it but tell him he won%26#039;t be able to get another pair in x amount of months or year


so if he ruins them he%26#039;ll have to wait till then or wear cheap ones.


this worked one me and my siblings to take care of our shoes.
Reply:It%26#039;s sad but society puts so much emphasis on that kind of stuff these days. Don%26#039;t give in to him. Tell him that if he wants those shoes, then he can get a part time job when he turns 16 to buy them. Don%26#039;t waste your money on them because they aren%26#039;t important to you.
Reply:Yes it is i%26#039;m 13 and i get exspinsive tenni-shoes that are usless because you cant run in them but they look awesome and to fit in you wear them.
Reply:Screw any other shoe, but I need my sneakers. I%26#039;ll probably blow about $500 on sneakers a month. The thing is that a lot of guys are into looking good just like girls. So instead of getting all excited about a $250 Louis Vitton pair of shoes, they%26#039;re into Nikes and Adidas. Cheap shoes don%26#039;t have the same feel and style.
Reply:guys and their ego. they just want to be cool and fit in. just tell him no or get a job or give him money for doing work around the house. you work for your money he should to.
Reply:as long as they are cute to me i will wear them i just would not wear any from the dollar store
Reply:for them thay think so.. i think its rediculus to pay over 30$ for a pair of shoes cause ur just gonna wear them and get them ruined that u have to buy more. when i was in school there was this one boy that every week he would come to school with a new pair of shoes and thay would cost his mom over 200$ each time. i would kill my kid not a very good thing to do cause than thay just basicly think that money grows on trees. i just baought my 15 month old a pair of shoes at walmart and thay look like the new nike%26#039;s and i only paid 5$ for them.. and i had a pair of shoes from walmart that looked exactly like sketchers but only paied 15$ for them i thinkits just dumb to pay all that money for name oof the shoe not the actul shoe cause walmart proves that shoes dont cost much its jsut the name that tha are paying for. and its ur money not ur sons. if i was you i would tell him to go out and get a JOB if he wants to buy expencive shoes. other than that i would jsut buy him shoes from walmart if he dont like thats his fault. buy them for him he will wear them or he%26#039;ll get a job cause u cant go anywhere with out shoes on no place will let him in. so he will eventuly wear them. and thay also buy them expencive shoes to be jsut like one another
Reply:i don%26#039;t know about the most expensive shoes. But yes it is important, you can tell a guy by his shoes. Ok so i%26#039;m 17 and i have...about 12 pairs of shoes, and they%26#039;re all for different events. If i want to look %26#039;cool%26#039;, yes wear the expensive white never been touched shoes, (which never happens cause i dont%26#039; care enough to look %26#039;cool%26#039;)...but u get the point. I wouldn%26#039;t give into him though, put a price check on it, or make him go barefoot if he isn%26#039;t willing to lower his standards...at least thats what my parents do: if you don%26#039;t buy them then make him. good luck! :)
Reply:not that big of a deal.. but my mom buys me expensive shoes...
Reply:yes because you can%26#039;t wear ugly shoes
