Yes, and too many people feel that buying high dollar items makes themselves feel more valuable. The actual value of the item doesn’t matter.
Right?! But like Steve conveyed, logic just doesn’t enter into it.
Certain brands do last longer that are worth paying more for. My dad and I learned this the hard way with work boots, we used to buy the cheap brands because it was all we could afford but we'd walk them clear into the ground within a month. We started buying the more expensive ones, they helped both of our feet feel better and lasted longer.
You're right however, price doesn't always equal quality but sometimes it does and when it does it can be worth it, particularly when it comes to caring for your feet. Which makes paying $1,500 for a pair of high heels that will harm your feet even more ridiculous.
Side note when I worked at the casino back in the day, we had to wear 4" minimum heels. Most of us couldn't even walk by the end of our shifts, many of us who had been employed there for years developed issues because of walking in heels for 8+ hours such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs etc. I cringe now when I see women walking long distances in heels, it is absolutely not worth the damage it can do to your feet.

No dispute with you there. Buying good quality is usually a wise decision for anything we need.
The price is based on the brand name. It has nothing to do with the actual materials, quality, or technology involved. It's so you can tell everyone that you're wearing the fancy brand.
It's the same with many other items, clothes, backpacks, cars etc. No one buys Gucci because they're well made, it's so everyone can see you're wearing Gucci.
I saw a Louis Vuitton baby wearing front pack once. It was terribly designed. Very bad for baby's hips and would be incredibly uncomfortable and impractical to wear. But one of the Kardashian lot was wearing it so everyone knew she had the most expensive baby carrier on the market.
I agree generally with this perspective.
It is possible a person with such large amount of heels can be married to a husband who lives a specific type of lifestyle that would lend itself to a certain expectation of presentation; especially when he networks in high profile social circles.
Personally, I have 1 set of heels for a dress up event, 2 converse (black and white), 2 boots (black and brown), 2 leather flats (black and brown), and 1 pair of workout shoes. I buy shoes that last and can’t remember how many years ago it was I actually purchased (or were given) any of these.
I go the way of function of over fashion but I don’t judge another woman based on her choices of shoes or what’s in her closet or pantry. It is highly possible a woman and wife, more specifically, can have both a closet full of feminine attire/ accessories ready to go as needed AND a pantry of canned goods, thriving garden and be an amazing homemaker. I’ve been good friends with quite a few actually.
Granted, yes, I completely agree excess is not recommended or supported, again, I will not raise my nose at someone with such a closet. I’m more inclined to know their heart first and foremost.
I have gumboots and one pair of shoes. Somewhere in the container I have some nice boots and a pair of sandals I never wear. I also have another pair of shoes that I got at the same time as the ones I currently wear, they're my backup for when these shoes die, which they will soon because there's a hole in the top and they're no longer waterproof.
Mostly, I live in my gumboots though.
What’s ironic about that is that most “well off” individuals intentionally don’t wear brands with logos all over them. It’s considered bleh. They very well might have expensive items but it’s not obvious. Basically the big hat, no cattle ways of thinking.
Sometimes certain things are worn or purchased for networking or publicity incentives.
Haha I used to have backup sandals too but I tossed them because I never used them. In summer or yard, I’m barefoot. lol. My leather woven flats have holes on bottom but I like them still and I like the way I broke them in plus their style. I used to have a container but it took unneeded space so now they’re stacked in a small corner of my closet.
So true, sadly
That was my point. Absurd amounts of money on vanity.
Absolutely and I glory in my wife being attired in beautiful and lovely clothes and jewelry.
Fwiw that comment was tongue in cheek. I was mocking the absurdity and vanity of a person who thinks they need a luxury car’s worth of high heels to feel valuable and worthy.
My personal view is that you should buy the highest quality footwear, and everything that you use daily. One off tools, buy the cheapest that will do the job. Shoes, mattress, sheets, tires, those kinds of things need to be highest quality you can afford. That’s called being frugal.
50K+ in high heels is vain and wasteful.
My wife wears diamonds and pearls to show she is well cared for. She has beautiful clothes and shoes. None of these are "practical" although the tools she uses in life are just that. She drives a sports car with the convertible top down and lives in a very comfortable home. She loves being married to me because I strive to make sure she is a garden well tended.
Everybody has area of indugelence. Something where you are willing to spend no question asked. It is usually some hobby.
Only people truly surviving don't have something. From perspective of others it looks wasterful. It's not. Digital nomad lifestyle is idiotcy for people who hate travelling.
