Yeah, but, believe it or not, I don't have a single metal t-shirt.
I have a couple of Led Zep t-shirts, and a guns n roses t-shirt that I got when I saw them in 2007, if those count. But aside from those, I don't have any.
So one pair of shoes hardly seems extravagant. Not when so many metal heads have an entire wardrobe full of band shirts.
And they cost $AU119.95 which converts to 60 british pounds. Keep in mind that I haven't bought a pair of shoes in 2 years (I wear sandals year round. Well, not anymore!).
Context is everything, and I believe in my case that this was a fairly reasonable purchase.
EDIT: I mean a reasonable purchase in terms of the cost. As for style, you are entitled to your own opinion. So is Lucifer's Son. I just wish he wouldn't express it with such audacious arrogance.
