Different kinds of people choose to wear a huge variety of shoes. Different types of shoes match people personalities and let them express their identities. Some of these shoes may run between $99-200. Most kids cannot afford these shoes but still really want them, and sometimes they will do almost anything for them. 

      There are many shoes that have been in style for a long time, like Air Force Ones, Chuck Taylor’s All Stars, and Timberlands. Some shoes are not in style, like New Balance,

K Swiss, Reeboks and Fila. Right now people may wear these shoes to match their wardrobes. Shoes are a way for people to express their personal style. 

    Shoes tell a lot about who people are. They tell how they treat their shoes and how much they like shoes in general. This tells us that they maybe can not afford shoes or maybe it is their favorite brand of shoe. When students at Crane were asked about how they feel about their shoes, Ben Moore said, “These are the stylish shoes that make me who I am”. 

  The downside of having these shoes is that they sometimes cause violence amongst people. It is because some are not able to afford the new and up-to-date shoes that they act on violent impulses towards other kids. The uniqueness of the shoes and the demand on them by the public causes some to act out. That shoes define a person is some people’s perspective, and the better you associate your shoes with your gear, the more you are adored. In this society, fashion is what keeps the threads together and distinguishes the fashionable from the non-fashionable. But that still does not give people reason to harm others for their gear.
