These items are common where I live but I'd say that a $300 shoe is like 1% or less for the entire US pop. And while those really expensive shoes like C&J, Churches, Ferrigamo etc.may be firly common in Manhattan or the wealthier surburbs, they are virtually unheard of in a very large part of the country. Even those expensive cowboy boots made in Texas are not worn by very many people there. An average priced shoe (or sportshoe) may be like $80 in the US and the average family may spend $1500 or so per year on clothes. There are probably only 1% or less who buy at places like Paul Stuart or Saks etc or wear C&J or Lobbs.People here seem a little snobbish - if you wear brunos or magnanni's you will have better shoes than 95% of the people out there. Same with AE. It is splitting hairs...
All are nice. Some better than others. Who cares. It is all top 5%.
