Also agree that once you get over $80 bucks or so there isn't much difference.
My girls are young and their feet grow fast. I used to think that it was not worth it to spend a lot on shoes because they will outgrow them before they wear them out. But I would buy cheap shoes and they would be coming apart in weeks.
If you buy athletic shoes just to wear to the mall then they might last a while, but if you run or play sports they will fall apart in no time.
For regular cotton t-shirts, name brands are probably a little be ticker with tighter stitching, but I personally prefer just a plain Hanes because it's looser and softer. Same goes with boxer and boxer briefs. Target brand and Hanes all the way.
Any athletic t-shirt that's supposed to transfer heat and resist sweat just isn't the same quality if you go store brand. I never liked tight compression shorts and had no interest in trying a pair. I tried a pair of Nikes and loved the feel and comfort. I only wear those to the gym now and like wearing them other times as well. A cheap store brand won't be is soft, a lot more rigid and possibly out of portion in the wrong spots.
