Why are women’s shoes so expensive

Women love shoes and have different shoes to match each outfit as well as the occasions they are used for. Women all over the world love Women Italian Shoes but what most men do not understand is why women’s shoes are so expensive, especially the ones made in Italy. They argue that the amount of material used is less and yet the shoes are more expensive.

The reason for this is that the price depends on various factors – the materials, workmanship, supply and demand as well as the brand recognition and reputation.

The materials used by Italian shoe makers are genuine leather hence are soft, comfortable and beautiful. Italian leather is made from the hide of cows who are specially reared for their leather. The hide is treated and dyed by hand, the tanneries in Italy use high quality dyes and the craftsmen use leather which is full grained or top grain and so the shoes are more durable than those of other manufacturers. The leather is also treated with tannins and oils to make it more flexible and supple. The metal, threads as well as wood used is also of good quality and hence the shoes last longer than other shoes.

The workmanship of these shoes are good as the craftsmen are skilled. Some of them have been carrying on these traditions for generations. These shoes are handmade and therefore they are more expensive but at the same time due to it, there are various designs and styles which are possible.

As these shoes are handmade they cannot be mass produced and are made in limited quantities therefore, they are more expensive than machine made shoes which can be produced very quickly.

Finally based on the perception of the user that good shoes have to be expensive and based on the reputation and recognition the brand commands, the shoes cost more.
