Overall, this is true, and it's why at work, I kept my heels under my desk at the office so I could put them on before meetings, but otherwise I wore flats.

However, there are highly specific circumstances where you should buy cheap shoes. I worked on staff at a large university, and there was no such thing as close parking below the level of an AVP. After a rain, pathways were often full of deep puddles and there wasn't always a way around. I ruined many a pair of good shoes before I wised up and started wearing the cheapest shoes I could find for the walk in to the office. I had rain boots, but rain boots are stiff, so they don't really work for everyday. Many of my female colleagues wore flip-flops from car to office because they had learned what I learned.
