Since there was such a fuss I figured they must cost a lot but I was surprised to find out that you can get Gucci loafers for under $500 (and if you shop around you can get them for under $400). This doesn’t seem like a lot for a politician to pay for shoes especially when some in the race are paying so much more for hair cuts. At least with shoes you can keep them for years. I’ve had the same pair of pumps for at least 10 years. I never mind paying more if something is well made, that means it will last longer.
