'ow Much.

[melv16]

My son-in-law's nephew has bought some new trainers.
They cost him the princely sum of £495-00.... The world has gone mad and he's got more money than sense!

Hope he keeps them in a box and never wears them. Could be a good investment

[bookbinder]

Why?

[-SharonA-]

I bought my 10 yr old granddaughter a pair of Haurache's and they were well over £100!

[hc4361]

Why what?

[Mamyalynne]

The World hasn't gone mad, people decide what they want and buy it.

[bookbinder]

hc431: why did he spend so much on a pair of shoes? Will he walk better? Will he be more attractive to girls?

[Ken4155]

He needs sectioning.

[hc4361]

Probably because he had a burning hunger for them and the money in his pocket :)

[-SharonA-]

It's the hype.

[Mamyalynne]

//He needs sectioning//

A tad dramatic might I say.

[hc4361]

If he can afford them and he's not starving his children, I see nothing wrong with it.

[-SharonA-]

Ken, what about your money spent on gambling??

[hc4361]

The last pair of shoes I bought cost well over £400 but they should last at least 10 years, like the other ones I have.

Some early and limited designs are worth a load of money now.

[rowanwitch]

Better value than these

His money his choice.

[baza]

A recent question on The Chase was how much was a pair of a brand of expensive trainers and the answer was over 2 million quid.

[Cloverjo]

That's fashion! How long they'll stay fashionable is unknown of course. I wouldn't spend that much but his money, his choice.

[Cloverjo]

Now that's really daft, baza.

[BANANASPLITS]

£299 for a dyson hair blower...just blowing in the wind!
