Must be fashion-driven rather than cost nowadays. Like Scholl sandals and such like.
Could be a retro look with outfits from Old Town and similar.

They should have raised the price to over £200 a pair and hire a celebrity woman, e.g. Kate Moss or Tracey Emin, to hype the brand in the fashion magazines and Sunday supplements.
