It's getting too wet and grimy out there now to be wearing training shoes to go for a walk in,so i'm thinking of buying some walking shoes. I'd like some traditional leather ones,as i do like to shine my shoes up to a nice buffed finish. I realise that such shoes have been replaced over the years by man made material shoes,Gore-Tex being one of the most popular. I know it may sound daft to some but i don't want to be paying a lot for a shoe if it's a drab looking thing. Have any of you any recommendations for a good pair of walking shoes,possibly leather ones? I know some will say that the more you pay the better the shoe will be,but i've not always found that to be the case. I've spent over £100 on sporty type shoes before,only for the shoes to last but the soles wore down quickly. Should i buy some for around the £30-40 mark and get a couple of years out of them,or pay around £100 and expect a decade of wear,even though they might not last half that time?
