The first time I was in the US, almost 15 years ago, one of the first things I did was to buy some running shoes (of course it was my aunt who bought them for me). But still, that first visit to the Skechers store is something I remember very well. The shoes were 50 dollars that, considering inflation, is pretty much the same price of the waterproof boots for the winter that I bought today in CambridgeSide.
