For many, the cost of high-quality shoes may seem uncomfortably high. Premium shoes are worth the price, though—they boast a high level of wearing comfort and are significantly longer-lasting than their cheaply mass-produced counterparts. When considered in the long term, purchasing quality shoes is actually easier on the wallet.

On average, we cover about 3 kilometres per day by foot. This adds up over the course of our lives in total, we actually cover a distance equivalent to circumnavigating the globe two and a half times. As we go about our daily walking, our shoes are the only protection we have from hard asphalt, sharp stones and other people's (accidental) treads. Not all shoes are created equal, though, and shoes should definitely not be considered insignificant. A glut of cheap discount footwear has created the impression that shoes are unimportant, and has also relegated the centuries-old handicraft of shoemaking to the margins.
