Before you shop, we suggest you read through the following suggestions so that you can make the most out of your investment in a good pair of shoes.

If you have a good pair of shoes, but the soles are wearing out, Shoe Goo can extend the life of a good pair of shoes.

It adheres to all kinds of materials, so use Shoe Goo to mend rubber soles, tears in canvas or leather tops or to stop shoe laces from fraying. It dries to a waterproof, flexible rubber, so it will repair waders and boots without breaking or cracking. Choose between Black or Clear.

1. Find out the support you need- Before investing in a great pair of shoes, find out the support you need. If you haven't been properly fitted for a shoe, there are some shoe stores that will do this for you free of charge (some of them may specialty athletic shoe stores). Take them up on the free offer and find out what type of support you need. Many of these same stores will also suggest a specific name brand to properly support your body. If the shoes are not on sale, write down the brand name, style, and size and ask the salesperson to contact you once they go on sale, or once they find a reasonably priced shoe that will properly support you. If you choose to patronize the shoe store that does properly fit you, it is still worthwhile to do this. Your body will thank you for it, and the information can be used to buy your next pair at greatly reduced prices elsewhere (such as the internet, discount outlet stores, or ebay). Take the information with you so that you know the proper support, brand name, and size you need and start looking for the best prices available. This is important before you invest in any pair (even if you find low cost shoes that are a great name brand).

2. Consider your activities- Your activities determine what type of shoe you will invest in. If your activities require lots of time on your feet, that will determine what type of support you should consider when purchasing a pair of shoes. If you're athletic, you will want to have the proper shoes to support your athletic activities and a separate pair for daily activities. This will make your higher cost athletic shoes last longer. wearing your athletic shoes everyday wears out the shoes prematurely.

3. Take a look at your wardrobe- Before purchasing a high quality pair of low cost shoes, consider your wardrobe and make the most out of the choice you make. If you have a neutral casual, yet classy style shoe, the versatility of that one pair of shoes can save you hundreds of dollars per year. You can actually narrow down the pairs you need, make life much more simple, and create more space simultaneously. Shoot for minimizing your accumulation of "stuff" in your closets and opt into investing in 1 to 3 pairs of good shoes per year.

4. Consider your style- Knowing your style can save a significant amount of wasted spending on shoes you will never wear. Take a look at your style-- are you athletic and casual, or are you a classic professional? Are you earthy and natural, or do you that higher fashion image? By answering your question of "style," once again, you can minimize how many pairs of shoes you invest in and save a significant amount of money and always look like a million bucks (and do it as a "lavish cheapskate!).

Once you have found a name-brand shoe that works well for you, you can save a significant amount off retail prices by either shopping online, shopping at warehouse outlet stores, or buying shoes from consignment stores.
