Not in every case and surely not to the extent of the markup, but quality items are better made, have better materials, are more comfortable and last longer than cheaper stuff.

That's the fucked up thing about Santonis. The leather's super thin and supple, but it never gives. Ferragamos with heavier leather die after two years of wear.
Best solution to the cost of shoes is driving moccasins. I started wearing those to work many years ago and found that they save you a ton of money. Every shoemaker manufactures a decent moccasin, and unless they're Todds or some Gucci shit, they're usually a lot less than shoes. Wear those instead and you have to replace fewer pairs of shoes. They're also great if you're anti-sock, as I am.
