Ok, 1/2 rant, 1/2 question.

So far the least expensive (I dislike saying "cheap" as it infers lesser quality) pair I've seen available is around $95 USD. Considering it's just a regular shoe minus the tounge and with long laces, what's the deal?
Take the tuxedo dress shoes, like the ones on Uniformalwarehouse, for example. Yes, if it's a formal shoe it will generally cost more than a normal set. However since the synthetic sets are less expensive to make (material cost wise) we can get those for under $30.

Why can't (and if someone does, please point me in that direction) someone offer a less expensive pair of ghillie brogues?
