$18,000 for one pair of shoes
NEW YORK, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- A New York store that sells men's shoes for up to $18,000 says there are plenty of customers for the pricy footwear.
Anna Koszel, who runs the Silvano Lattanzi boutique on Madison Ave., said the shop sells crocodile shoes for $18,000, calfskin wingtips for $3,175 and sneakers for $1,200, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.
'I do have a plastic surgeon. He's bought 80 pairs in seven years,' Koszel said.
She said a team of 26 cobblers in Marche, Italy, uses century-old techniques to create 2,500 pairs of shoes each year.
'The shoes are stiff when you buy them. You have to wear them three or four hours a day for four days before they are broken in,' Koszel said. 'They actually mold to your feet.'
