What influences your buying habits, price or brand?

[Mr66]

More often than not, I will go by price, but there are two brands I will swear by.
Puma and Sony.

[Pseudo]

All other things being equal (i.e. same price, functionality, etc) I'll always go for the brand which is advertised by a bird with big knockers.

[Mr66]

LOL.
Forgot about that criteria.

[Psyber]

For electronic equipment, experience, or advice from good sources about reliability, is paramount, then price.
Clothing, quality and feel - natural fibres - then price.
Cars - Deutschland uber alles.

I always buy Asics running shoes. I bought my first pair about 8 years ago and have had about 8 pairs since then. I won't even look at any other brand when I buy a new pair, no matter what the price.

I only used to endorse Asics, however I was conned into buying a pair of new balance once and they were bloody great. Probably the best pair of shoes I ever bought.

Too bad they haven't bought out anything that good since.

I currently own asics again

I was told by a Podiatrist to only wear Asics or Brooks
Asics all the way
When buying trackies gotta have Adidas

There are several brands of shoes that suit the feet, not just Asics or Brooks.

All depends on what sort of foot you have.

I buy Asics runners, wear Nomis football boots.

That wouldn't be because ASICS throw a truck load of money at the Australian Podiatry Association would it???

[smac]

My podiatrist recommended Nike Air Pegasus for my foot, Asics for my brother and New Balance for my father - no bias we assume.

I usually buy on price with most things, but there needs to be some quality control in there somewhere, usually ask friends/family for recommendations before larger purchases then make a start on the haggling.

[Punk Rooster]

[dinglinga]
