5 Luxury Shoe Brands To NEVER Buy (And 5 That Are Actually WORTH It) A $1,800 Berluti loafer. A $1,200 Gucci horsebit. A $1,000 Prada derby. The same cemented or Blake-stitched construction is available for $200. We ran the construction test on ten luxury shoe brands so you don't have to pay for the education yourself. In this video: the 3-second sole test that exposes every overpriced shoe in your closet. Five brands collecting on nameplates and magazine placements. Five brands — Edward Green, John Lobb, Carmina, Alden, Vass — where the construction actually justifies the price tag. No sponsorships. No brand deals. No affiliate links influencing the rankings.
