The most I have ever spent was 32 years ago.
They were $60
Back then it was a lot of money, I saw them in a magazine, but when I walked in them after time they were impossible..
In the end gave them to charity.
I buy new shoes once every 8-12 months.I only wear very good leather flats.Which can cost me $75 - $85 a pair.
Even the guys now are buying top end shoes,with real gold plated heals.
