The irony of saying one would not purchase a 1,000 shoe even if they had the money. Tells me a lot about their outlook toward themselves and others. Besides, you don’t have to spend that much to have the same 😬. I have $500 shoes and $1500 suits that I didn’t pay $200 for all of it.

Same, I might not buy a £2000 shoe but I might pay close to that for a bespoke pair in a few years. But even my latest £230 shoes are excellent and normally cost £540, proper Northampton made.

There are people that make good financial decisions, and then there are people that make bad financial decisions. If I were interested in giving the impression of being wealthy, these would be the shoes I’d go for. However, my interests don’t lie in wasteful spending. 10 years ago I bought a pair of Chelsea style boots for $90. Comfortable and still going strong. And they look great.

I only wear the nicest shoes and I have access to many. I choose a maker not by where they live but by their skill and execution.

Ypu do realise that the 2000 dollar shoe shown in the video is most likely made in China right. Educate yourself before you be ignorant

Oh, well I guess to each their own. If I may, I’d suggest looking into the benefits and why both health and financially speaking, buying a shoes from a traditional trained shoemaker is much better than the alternative.

It's barely about money for most people with enough wealth or decent disposable income. For me it's mostly comfort then style & then cost. At size 12 I definitely recommend a good Custom Shoe Maker no matter the cost, a custom made shoe is better than anything out there

@@after-lifeadvice7067 yeah it’s a fair point. I’d say there is a middle ground between the extreme ends of the spectrums, such as “anything over $100 is ridiculous and a way for the rich to waste money” and “bespoke shoes at any cost are a necessity for comfort and support”. Realistically, a $350 GYW shoe with proper last design, anatomical support and quality materials will end up being a worthwhile expense to make. Obviously, it sounds like you already know this, but for the benefit of others, The shoe will provide your feet with better support and maintain proper alignment of ankles to hips, and last longer than 10 pairs of $100 shoes. For me personally, I have knee and lower back pain from college athletics, so when I wear a pair of Acme or Meccariello, compared to wearing a pair of carmina, the comfort, support and lack of pain is alone worth the price tag. Not to mention I am partial to the Acme/Mec aesthetic compared to that of carmina, AE and so on.
