Recently, for the first time in my close to 70 years on this planet, I spent $100 on a pair of walking shoes. Couldn’t believe how much better they were than the cheap ones I used to buy.
Ah, but the shoes are hand-made of Spanish leather, by craftsman with 7 generations of cobblers behind him. You are paying for his great-great-great grandfather’s expertise.
In the late 70s, I used to work in a ladies shoe store (Balley’s) on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. A minimum of at least $500 for a pair of strappy shoes and a small handbag. The price went up from there.

That’s as much as politicians’ wives pay for their dresses – with our money of course.

That’s three times more than my truck is worth.
