Yes perfect logic.

As the Doc points out you can, but it does depend on the shoes

Again this is about what I pay for a pair of shoes.

Last time at S&M I picked up a couple of pairs of trousers for £15 apiece
and a jacket for £30ish and that's about right for something vaguely
decent. My last trip to Merry Hell, to run in my shiny new car, I spent
about £200 which is a typical amount. Then again I needed some new
bedsheets and only had a choice of S&M and Debentarts 18 frickin' quid for
a piece of cloth oh sure it's a cotton-rich, high thread piece of cloth as
woven by the lost priests of Atlantis, but sheesh.

Ah you know what they say, you've got to spend money to make money...
unless you're a stockbroker or banker in which case you've got to spend
other people's money to make yourself money ;-)
