Who doesn’t love a good pair of shoes? But even Imelda Marcos might do a double take at the priciest shoes on the planet. Because while some of them are practical, it’s still mind-boggling to see how much some people will pay for footwear. Though Cinderella (and Imelda) might argue that a new pair of shoes never hurt anyone. (Except George W. Bush. You’ll see.)

17. Rick Owens GeoBaskets
Price: $6,000 USD ($8,000 CAD)
There was a time when celebs would shell out nearly $6K for these kicks from Rick Owens. Now you can find them on eBay for a fraction of the price. Pricey but nowhere near what they once went for. FYI, the black and milk ones seem to be the most in-demand.

Price: $28,000 USD ($37,000 CAD)
Marty McFly may have inspired these futuristic sneaks that lace themselves but by 2012, Nike made 100 more pairs. If you could get your robot hands on a pair, they would've cost you almost the same as a house was back then. (OK, not really but you know what we mean.)
