brian – I’m telling you the quality of shoes and clothing have deteriorated. The prices remain high for brand names, but 90% of it is made in China. It’s one thing to buy something that’s made in China w/a price tag that’s cheap to go w/it. It’s another thing to pay something like $400 for a pair of designer shoes that are made in China. And don’t anyone be thinking I’d ever spend that much for shoes to start with. But if they were, say, Italian shoes, I could understand. These are companies making money off their name and it’s a huge profit b/c it’s made in China. I just could never, ever. I’ll overpay for a house first. At least that’s still made here.
