Your shoes can say a lot about you, even if you don’t realize it. A pair of flip flops might say “I am on the way to the beach” or “I am unemployed,” while a really nice sneaker might say “do not challenge me to a footrace.” But these nine pairs of shoes, some of the most expensive on the market, say something else entirely. And that is, “I am extremely rich.” So take a look at this gallery of nine of the most expensive men’s shoes out there, and realize how poor you really are.

This tough-to-find shoe from Barker Black is one of the most expensive out there. That relative scarcity means a pair of these can go for almost a thousand dollars. For some people though, that’s a bargain.

As you might guess from the name of the Dover Split Toe from Edward Green, these shoes are distinguished by the seam that cuts across the toe on each pair. In case you’re interested, it’s made from pigs’ bristle. But that’s only one of many reasons a pair of these shoes go for around $1,075.

As long as you can steer clear of any activists brandishing red paint, these genuine crocodile leather shoes from Martin Dingman should serve you well. In addition to the Venetian crocodile skin, leather, and rubber, these shoes have a price tag of just under $1,200.

Another rarity in the world of upscale men’s footwear is the Norvegese from A. Testoni. They’re built to last, and designed for maximum comfort for the wearer. But they aren’t built to come cheap, and pair can cost as much as $1,500.

Since the Berluti brand was founded back in 1895, they’ve been known for their extremely high-quality men’s footwear.

Just how much for a pair of these (reportedly) super-comfortable and stylish shoes? $1,830.
