In all honesty I think its the brand of shoes. You can still buy a good cheap pair of running shoes and last you where some will not. I bought a pair at Wal-Mart for $20 and they lasted me a year or longer. Taking care of them or wearing them only when running is the only thing you can do to make them last longer. Other wise you will be gluing them back together.
Look on Amazon and in department stores for discounted sneakers. Stores often discount last season's sneakers or sneakers that are being discontinued. These sneakers will still be good quality as long as they are a reputable brand such as Nike, Adidas, Asics etc. You do not need to pay a premium for the most fashionable, up to date sneakers when last season's will do the same job.
How long it will last and performance.
Because cheap pens are cheap, they aren't as reliable in general. Expensive pens are usually made more carefully and with better material.
Just because something is more expensive doesn't always mean it is more reliable. However, many cheap tools don't last very long. The more expensive ones usually last a lot longer and are worth buying in the long run.
No they don't. The slogan goes " you get what you pay for " and this is one of those instances. The better batteries have better cells and they can last a lot longer than a cheap battery.
Not really. you can get good tires fairly cheap but check on how long they are rated to last.
Cheap notebook computers can last just as long as the more expensive ones. As long as the cheaper one will do everything you need for it to do there is no need to pay more for practically the same thing.
Cheap systems tend to perform almost as well as more expensive water softeners, but also don't last as long, which could cost more money in the long run.
Depending on the type of equipment and material that the product was made from and in. Computer desktops may last up to 20+ that's why their so expensive their meant to last ages.
On average, the cheap ones will do the job, but over time you can argue for more leading brands. The reason being the expensive brands usually have more reliability, then your second name. Note that not all expensive brands are the same in comparison, but they are about the same in battery life.
You can find cheap tires and rims at Les Shwab tire. Be warned though, cheap rims will often break if you come in contact with a curb and cheap tires often do not last long or have the grip that more expensive tires do.
I know from experience that Acics are generally very good sneakers. Their sneakers are very well made, and they are made to last you a very long time. They are not generally made for dancing, they are more made for running.
