I believe that the most expensive shoes are not always the best.
Didn't like Amazon's navigation when choosing color and size for shoes. I know that there are a lot of websites and I wanted to share a useful web site.
Was using the following aggregation web site for running shoes to find good shoes at a reasonable price -
https://runrepeat.com/ranking/rankings-of-white-running-shoes?sizes-m-us=us_125
For example DS already ordered and received the Asics Gel Contend 4. Not the priciest and they have the most reviews. They have a decent support, good toe box and are bit stiff at the ankle. He is happy with his choice and he got them at even better price - $29. Now he needs to break them in. The prices on the runrepeat will change based on the deals on the aggregated selling web sites - Amazon, 6pm etc.
