$180 for dress shoes.

The most expensive footwear I have ever purchased was purpose-built motorcycle roadracing boots. Back when I was racing the ones I used ran upwards of $350 - although they are considerably more now.

“$180 for dress shoes.”

$250 a pair for two pair of Lucchese boots in 1989. Still enjoy wearing them now in these ‘cool’ Florida winters ...

Makes sense. I buy online and at the outlets, and if you hit it right you can find $500 hand made in Italy dress shoes for $150-$200. Still more than I like to pay for shoes, but if they're high quality and last it's worth it.
