Running shoes. Antipronation shoes are fucking expensive, but having bad support will eventually hurt my feet, ankles or knees. I would get hurt very fast if I started running in cheap sneakers or something.

My rule has always been "don't skimp on the things that separate you from the ground." Shoes, tires, chairs, beds, etc, get the best you can afford to and don't pinch pennies.

Yeah, same for motorcycle tires.
