As far as cheap shoes, the main reason a lot of people hate them (the first time I told my mom I bought shoes at GC Murphy's, she had a cow) is that they used to be made very poorly, with no arch supports and too-tight toes, and were very hard on your feet and hurt to walk in. They've come a long way as far as comfort. They might still fall apart, but I don't see the point in wearing Jimmy Choos to a bar with beer & crap on the floor and ruining them - that is what cheap shoes are for.
