Going shopping for shoes tomorrow. I like these shoes but is it a bit extravagant to pay £170-$275 for a pair of shoes in these austere times?

only if they include insurance and lifetime resoling! thats a lot of money to pay for shoes even if the are extremely well made! maybe you can find the same ones for a better price- shop around!

The thing is I recently paid $100 for a pair of shoes and yes they felt good to wear but the trouble is when it rains the water comes through the sole. Now I agree the shoes I have looked at are somewhat over the top in price but the old saying goes ...you get what you pay for. I hold two things very important as regards my comforts. A good Bed and a Good pair of shoes.

You think $275 is a lot for shoes? I got a customer who has a $700 PAIR! And he calls that pair his cheapies! And his wife's shoes? I could buy a car for what ten pair of her shoes costs! And their house? 14 and a half MILLION DOLLARS! Hell, Armani suits are hellacously expensive. When people have money they like to spend it. How much did this king pay for his new cloths?

Talking about cost of shoes brought to mind these lines. Nicholas Van Orton: [Nicholas van Orten loses a shoe when climbing a fire-escape ladder] There goes a thousand dollars. Christine: Your shoes cost a thousand dollars? Nicholas Van Orton: That one did.
