A Look at the Most Expensive Shoes in the World
Lucky magazine
A love of finely crafted footwear is a dangerous obsession to have. Although the most expensive pair in the world are DEFINITELY out of most shoppers' price range (they're vintage Roger Vivier pumps that cost $26,629.06, according to Forbes), tons of designer shoes aren't cheap. Plenty cost more than a month's rent.
We spend a lot of time staring at pricey pairs on the internet, dreaming of our next big purchase. Barring any outstanding credit card debt (pay your bills before shoe shopping, kids), we recommend-occasionally!-shelling out for fancy shoes. Since luxury labels use the best materials available, their products fit better and last longer. Plus, pumping money into our lackluster economy is the best way to boost it, so spend when you can!
Below, we've found 10 beautiful high-end shoes for the serious shopper looking to invest in their wardrobe.
