I TRULY BELIEVE IF YOU SIT DOWN AND EVALUATE ALL MANUFACTURED SHOES EVER MADE BY MATERIALS, LABOR, ETC. YOU WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND MANY THAT ARE TRULY WORTH MORE THAN $100 IMO. OF COURSE IN OUR MINDS WE BELIEVE SO BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE SO OR HAVE HYPED THEM UP SO MUCH IN OUR MINDS IT'S JUSTIFIED. IN MY OPINION, NO SHOE IS TRULY WORTH VERY MUCH MONEY UNLESS IF IT'S MADE OUT OF SOMETHING RARE LIKE GOLD, PLATINUM, SILVER ETC.
I take it you've never owned a nice pair of dress shoes other than something off the rack? There's more to shoes than just sneakers and their matching Elite socks. I'm not a fan of those mentioned above nor their prices, but I can certainly vouch for shoes that I own that literally take a s$#t on most shoes on the market in terms of value. Just picked up a pair of Ferragamo Andreas which aren't even that premier, but the quality is flawless. In regards to designers, there are plenty out there (Edward Green, John Lobb, etc.) that are truly worth their price as they both outclass and outlast most shoes. Considering this is primarily a sneaker community, the value of a shoe can be subjective, but there is quite a difference in what you think materials, labor, etc. cost from shoe-to-shoe to subject them to the same level...
Edit: Grammar...
If there's any dress shoe you ever buy in your life make it a Alden Wing tip. I'm still lovin my Bolar and Plat purchase as well
