๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝWhen weโre talking about shoes at $14,000, itโs the materials,โ says Michael Fink, senior fashion director at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City. โLeather and the pattern and type of wood theyโre using, the jewels, are the beads hand done, how rare are the feathersโbecause a lot of shoes with feathers are using feathers that canโt be gathered anymore, from the archives of the couture feather houses. โRoger Vivier shoes have a specific curved heel, and the way it is attached to the footbed is very mechanical and difficult, so youโre paying for engineering, too,โ Fink says. Randall has seen firsthand how using the priciest materials can drive up the cost of a shoe. โMost beautifully made shoes are from Italy. The master craftspeople are there, and Italian leather is the best leather in the world.โ http://shoeblogs.com/wordpress/category/shoes/blahnik/ Side note - I think of myself as fashionable but if I had $14,000.00 for shoes I think I'd want at least 10 pair of shoes! Guess I'm not so fashionable after all.
