Beyond Skin, affordable?

Gasp! The British shoemaker Beyond Skin affordable? Well depending on the season and the size of your foot. Prices for a pair of these gorgeous handcrafted English shoes runs about the equivalent of $450US. I'm accustomed to buying shoes from Payless and other discount places which are the best bets for finding final shoes-so the price has prevented me from doing anything but drooling over their website. But if you go to the "Special Offers" page on the Beyond Skin website there are dozens of off season clearance items for around $100-150US. And even slightly used press samples starting at $60! The drawback is sample pairs are not returnable. And it's just plain scary ordering form oversees. Maybe it's safer to 1st check how the sizes run at one of the US sellers. I found out they are even sold right here in Seattle at Olivine. Sigh... Here are some pictures to drool over.
