Hey Sam,

Before I answer, a kind request: please do not capitalize every word in your sentences. It really makes it hard to read!

Interesting questions, though--here's a quick answer:

1) It's not clear--in shoes? Perhaps a crocodile-leather shoe.
2) No heel or low heel, up to 2, 2 1/2 inches max (6 cm).
3) Definitely practical.
4) Usually. That's because good brands are usually good for a reason--they make beautiful shoes that are also high quality. A pretty shoe in a low-end brand won't last you 1/2 a season.
5) Louboutin, Blahnik, Chloe, Prada.
6) Anything over $350.
