I just have to say, that I find this makes so much sense - too much in fact. Shoes cost money to produce - the workers have to be paid and the leather, vinyl, rubber, and so on has to be bought, plus the factory has costs. It takes time to make shoes. People buy the shoes to wear, and naturally the shoes are likely used outdoors in rain, sun, and snow. Why make purchasing shoes a hassel in some store - where costs must be higher? Then not only would the shoes have to be produced and brought to market, but then there would be costs involved in having a store, hiring a decorator, as is done in the West, to make the store attractive - then the heating costs, display costs, and many other additional costs. This would all take shape in making the final price of the shoes higher for those who wish to buy shoes. Much cheaper to simply buy them off the back of the truck that would have delivered the shoes to an expensive store and save all that extra money that consumers would otherwise have had to pay. The cost for the store does come from the price you pay for the shoes anyway. Does buying shoes from a luxury store make the shoes operate any better? Surely capitalism focuses on reducing costs to the consumer, right, and this is what makes that system so damned efficient - you never see fancy shoe shops in Capitalist countries because that would result in unecessary over head, or should I say underfoot, costs.
