+1
I never noticed the shoe guys, and I have big a** feet for a girl. My shoe size doesn't exist here. |

I've never bought shoes at Shinsegae, but you may be right. I once had a lady in one of the underground shops try to sell me a pair of no name shoes for 130,000...I just walked off...totally insane...I once spent 230,000 on a pair of Sue Comma Bonnie shoes at Lotte. Sue Comma Bonnie is a famous brand. I got tons of compliments on those shoes from guys an girls...only to have one of them start squeaking with every step I took within 6 months. Talk about crap quality...never again...and they say only cheap shoes made here start squeaking a few months later...price does not always equal great quality. |

I once got a pair of $500 Robert Clergerie (a master shoemaker if there ever was one) flat boots for much less (my friend is a buyer for photo shoots, celebrities, and department stores) and they were the most comfortable things I'd ever put on my feet, besides sneakers. That was 7 years ago, and with proper maintenance, they're still in great shape. Even at full price they would have been worth it.
I also have a pair of handmade sandals that were $250 that I got many years ago. They were molded to my feet in a small shop in the east village that's been there for decades. The owner designs all of the shoes for the Eileen Fisher catalogue, and gives a 10 year warranty on all custom sandals. They're still comfy and gorgeous. She even re-soled them for free a couple of years ago.
Sometimes things are worth the extra money. Sometimes people are just paying for a brand name. I don't do that. I buy quality pieces that are timeless and that last. |
