Anyone have experience with Walmart running shoes from random brands? They actually seem pretty nice and cheap.

I've been noticing that Walmart has a lot of running shoes in the $35 to $45 range, and I've even seen some pairs on clearance for around $20-$25.

Honestly, they look surprisingly well made in person. The materials, stitching, and overall design seem pretty decent, but I have no idea if they actually hold up once you start putting miles on them. My job involve lots of walking and running and I need shoes to last long....

I don't really care about brand names or wearing Nikes, Adidas, etc. If a $20-$40 pair is comfortable, durable, and gets the job done, I'm perfectly happy with that.

Has anyone here actually used Walmart running shoes for regular walking, jogging, or running? How did they hold up over time? Were they comfortable, or did they fall apart after a few months? I'm curious whether they're genuinely a good value or if they just look good on the shelf.
