I was "stuck" with a $50 shopping voucher recently. After months of procrastination, I finally purchased something just a few days before expiry.
After hovering around the shoe department, I finally bought a pair of retro sneakers (Nike Tennis Classic CL Pack). With the limited range of footwear at that store, I was going to use the vouchers on a pair of Adidas Country sneakers, when I spotted the Nikes selling for a lower price. My target requirements were (leather; casual; affordable), and they seemed to fit the bill.
Unfortunately, after a few weeks of wearing them, they remained uncomfortable to wear. The thick sole (first thought to provide cushioning) ended up giving me pain in the ankles and knees. My $30 Bata shoes in contrast was comfortable even though it had a thinner sole.
Now nearly 3 months in, the situation has improved, to the extent that I can tolerate a day's worth of wear.
But I'm already looking to the next purchase, perhaps a pair of Desert boots or maybe Chelsea boots.
