Sam,

Here are my thoughts.

1) Luxury goes with materials in my mind. Ostrich feather-covered? Butter-soft leather? Luxury.

2) No heel, for sure. Like Shoesense, I'll go up to about 2.5".

3) Practical.

4) Brand and aesthetics go together for me. I won't buy a shoe just for the brand if I don't like how it looks, but I also won't buy a nice looking shoe if it comes from a crappy company.

5) In addition to the 4 Shoesense mentioned above, I'd say Gucci, Fendi, Ferragamo, Zanotti, Pucci... there are a lot.

6) I'd say over $400.
