However, there are times that the high price of a shoe is due to some uncommon, unconventional or unique material integrated into the shoe’s design, like the $2 million stiletto sandals created by known designer Stuart Weitzman.
The pair of shoes has a total of 55 carats of clear diamonds and one big 5-carat stone decorated into the straps of the shoes. Another pair that Weitzman designed was a pair of ruby stiletto sandals inspired by the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz.
