My Mood:  Rep Power: 16 | If that really is solid stainless steel then it is going to be expensive. Are you sure it isn't something cheaper, that is then coated? |

Thanks: 0 Thanked 22 Times in 22 Posts Rep Power: 15 | Surely it would be quite heavy as well if it was all stainless steel? Certainly heavier than if it were made out of normal materials, whatever normal materials are... SH |

Thanks: 0 Thanked 10 Times in 10 Posts Rep Power: 9 | Stainless steel is not particularly expensive IMHO, of course cast iron, and (perhaps, depending on the format) extruded aluminium is much more cheaper. -At least here in Scandinavia where we make a lot of steel... -It is nowadays not like making A-bombs a secret for the few initiated or especially complicated. I can buy S-s screws for almost the same cost as "teflonized", or as well bog standard screws (perhaps electro-galvanized) for indoor/outdoor building purposes (as an example). -Of course a ton of sheet metal plain iron is cheaper that the S-s alternative, but still, at least here, there is not that big difference. If I venture a guess, I'd say that a S-s heel compared to an aluminium equivalent would be at most 10-20% more expensive to *MAKE*. TallSwede |

Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Rep Power: 8 | Those shoes are from a company called leatherworks - the style is called 'Kate' and they retail for £95 with the metal heels or £75 with ordinary leather heels. Metal heels aren't as expensive a some people thing.......thankfully for me as I've bought a couple :lol: Becks xxxx |

My Mood:  Rep Power: 22 | I wonder if you can tune those heels, much like a jamaican steel drum? certainly would make a change from click, click, click to ding, ding, ding! :) |
