when it comes to shoes, I strive for simplicity and comfort. Out of ALL of my expensive Nikes, my $15 ez striders are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn in my LIFE. btw, they use velcro straps

of course, I still have my $115 nike max airs for sports. (these things better last me a freakin lifetime)

Little known fact about Nike sneakers is that if they rip, Nike considers them defects and you can call them up and mail them back in at your cost (which isn't much) and Nike will send you a new pair. If the style you have is older they send you the newer style. Sometimes you get stuck with nasty colors, but it beats spending the $100 again on sneakers.
