These are neat. Not about to pay $700+ for them, but I am sure there will be others who will.

I was contemplating it for two seconds just for the novelty of it but then I decided I like tying my own shoes better anyway. And, their design/color currently just ain't my kinda shoe. I think I'll wait a couple years.

Seriously if you were thinking of spending 700 dollars on shoes, I could give you several kinds of shoes to get instead of this. I have a shoe fetish (not really, but I like nice comfy handmade leather shoes).

I don't usually buy expensive shoes. I'm actually wearing shoes right now that I wore back in 2008. I had a few other pairs inbetween so this one wasn't used often, but I'm not huge into shoes. Like I said I contemplated it for a few seconds just for the novelty of it...I'm very lucky my wife is not huge into shoes either!

I'm wearing 6 year old shoes now. were about 400 dollars then. I've had them resoled once. Most of my shoes I keep for a long time, but I do spend a decent amount on each pair. I'll be walking/standing sometimes for 12 hours in a row. I'm sure I could get comfy shoes to stand around in, but I also like looking nice and love leather shoes. I wear a mix of oxfords/ and loafers.

Aren't there some shoes out there that women or people that identify as women may purchase that far exceed the cost of these shoes?

Oh ya women`s shoes are crazy. I am lucky that I'm a man because generally men's shoes get more expensive because quality goes up. Women spend more on shoes because they are flashy and have a label. John Lobb, my dream shoes, are bespoke hand measured to your feet and take months to make. They are like 1,200 dollars or so. You can find 1,200 dollar mass produced heels for women in department stores.

I'm just wearing Vans lol...nothing too expensive. I've had leather shoes in the past but they're not my fav. I needed them back when I used to be a waiter, but only used them a couple times in a couple of events once I was done, and haven't even seen them around in years lol. And then there were military boots. I'm alot more into jackets than I am into shoes, again not a fan of leather or jeans or anything but wool for that matter. Just bought a new one last week, those can be a little expensive. But really in general we both hate shopping so much we see it as the worst form of torture. Our shopping experience is pretty much "lets see how fast and pain free we can just get in and out".
