Proper leather shoes

Wearing 3k shoes means it's unlikely that you will encounter someone else wearing the same shoes.

I don't get people hating on over priced clothing, not everything boils down to the workmanship put in to the garment/pair of shoes, or the materials used in their construction.

I'm fully aware why people pay £3k for shoes. I'm not 12.
That's why it's wank. Especially when items of clothing aren't really bespoke and one off, but simply expensive and boring.

Craftsmanship? If you want to pay thousands and can afford it, then do it.
I'm sure the craftsman can survive on £40k a year.

At the end of the day, you want the whole world to know, that either you're from a privileged background, a footballer, a rich showbiz dandy, banker or simply a thieving cunt.
