Um, this ones a real mindbender. Kidding. It all depends on how you look on things and what your priorities are. If youre serious runner, no matter whether a pro or recreational, quality gear is a must. This stands, of course, should your financial situation allows you. Otherwise, any shoe will do if youre willing to run. I usually always buy expensive and quality running shoes, because I think theres a reason for their being pricey. I dont want to exhaust my bones and muscles or, God forbid, injure something. I dont want to have problems with health in my old age. But, I must admit that I dont pay too much attention to other sportswear. My sweatshirts are not branded, for example.

When I first started running a few months ago I bought some of the cheapest shoes I could find, cost me $25 or so, I didn't really think much of it. They fit perfectly fine and that's all that mattered. Recently I decided to treat myself for sticking to my running routine and picked up a nice pair of black New Balance 8507's for $88, after all, I was a runner now  I love these shoes so much, they're lighter weight than my old ones, far more comfortable, and they just look damn good which translates into confidence. Makes me feel like a real runner and not some "Guy trying to lose weight", that motivation alone is worth the extra $$$ in my opinion
