He’s always wore sketchers. Like since he was 4. Recently, he got really emotionally taking about shoes he wanted for middle school. He said if he doesn’t get Nikes he’s going to get teased. Great fucking marketing work Nike.

    I grew up with a tenuous grasp on the middle class and generally don’t buy much premium shit, despite being able to afford a life of luxury. My most expensive shoes are a $100 pair I wear with a suit. The shoes I wear most days are $25. You’re just an asshole, is all.

      Your feet deserve better shoes than that. The old adage goes, never cheap out on anything that goes between you and the ground - tires, shoes and beds are all worth buying a bit more up market than you usually might

      Yes, not giving in to toxic bullying for having less money makes you an asshole, right.
      What if another parent doesn’t even have the choice to give in bcs they can’t afford it? too bad for the kid right?
      You’re the POS here.

        You’re the asshole for passing judgement on people who are trying to protect their kids from circumstances that are unknown to you.
