My Chinese tennis shoes last maybe two years. I'd rather spend good money on good quality stuff that lasts. I've decided "Well, I make enough money that I can afford a few luxuries. One of those luxuries will be higher quality food." I don't buy the cheapest, but what I judge to be the best quality, considering locally grown organic to be better than locally grown, and any of those better than store-bought organic. Non-organic store-bought is on the bottom of the list. <br /><br />Not everyone can afford luxuries, though.
