In this article, we will not consider the question of how to distinguish real shoes from fake, but consider how expensive branded sneakers differ from Chinese consumer goods. And when to overpay for the company, and when not.
Comfort of shoes
We can firmly say that comfortable shoes can be both for 300 rubles and for 5000 rubles. It is important that you do not have the slightest discomfort when buying. Otherwise, the very first run will turn into the torment of the little mermaid, from the work of the same name.
The most common problem with shoes is blisters. The wrong choice of sneakers will guarantee them to you. And there is no difference in price or quality. If you rush to the purchase, rush to a discount or beauty, and buy shoes that are not suitable for your foot, then your foot will feel uncomfortable in both expensive and cheap sneakers.
Sometimes new shoes are so out of shape that pains in the ankle joints begin to appear.
The main thing to understand is that first of all you need to look not at the price, but at how the sneaker sits on your foot. Put on, go shopping, jump, if possible, run a few meters. You shouldn't notice that you are wearing shoes. It is this feeling that should arise when choosing. And here it often happens that price and convenience are not directly proportional.
Therefore, the convenience of shoes does not depend on the price. Except when the sneakers are custom made.
Quality and strength
At this point, it is difficult to disagree that branded sneakers are much stronger and more reliable than their Chinese counterparts. Here, too, one must understand that the matter is not in the price, but in the company - the manufacturer. Because buying Chinese sneakers for 5 tr, which the seller will pass off as real, will not turn out good for you either.
Branded sneakers can withstand much higher loads than ordinary cheap ones. You will feel this when you start running regularly. For example, Chinese sneakers with a price of 300 to 1000 rubles are usually "killed" in 2-3 months regular exercise... And branded ones may well last a couple of seasons. Of course, depending on the regularity of training and the running surface, the figure may differ, but if you take the average, then usually branded ones last 4-5 times longer than Chinese ones.
And then the question arises, which is more profitable, because branded ones cost 10 times more. Here you need to look at your financial capabilities. If you have the money to buy real "nike" or "adidas" sneakers, then feel free to buy - you will not go wrong. If not, then go for cheap Chinese ones. For one year you will have to buy 2-4 pairs, but at the same time their cost is so low that it is still several times cheaper than one pair of branded ones.
The only problem is that you have to look for and choose new shoes for your foot every time. And this is not an easy task.

Appearance
Buying fashionable felt boots is not the same as buying new fashionable sneakers. Valenki - shoes are initially comfortable. And you don't need to run in it, so you can buy simply by size and type.
Running shoes are a lot more complicated. Often beginner runners bought for the appearance of shoes, forgetting about its quality, convenience and price.
As mentioned above, first of all, the sneaker should fit perfectly on the foot, only after that you can think about its appearance.
If you are going to run in sneakers, and not walk, then do not get hung up on appearance. Most modern sneakers have very nice designs.
