I only paid $20 for a pair of these shoes. I wouldn't recommend spending much more on it. They are very comfortable and fit perfectly (US/13). They drive well and look good. However, I've only been wearing these shoes for about a month and one of the stitches has already come undone. I've used them maybe twice for skating and otherwise just wear them as everyday running shoes. For $20 I'm happy with them, but if I were to spend $40 or more I'd be a little upset.
