This report presents an analysis and ranking of the world’s most expensive luxury footwear brands, determined by the Concentrated Premium Index (CPI). This metric is designed to quantify the average price concentration of a brand’s core offerings, highlighting brands whose average product prices are consistently and significantly higher than their competitors in the high end footwear market.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Concentrated Premium Index (CPI)<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Concentrated Premium Index (CPI) is an interpretive metric used in this analysis to assess the true premium positioning of a footwear brand. In the luxury footwear sector, the CPI is crucial for differentiating between high volume designer brands and exclusive, low volume artisanal houses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CPI is based on the following principle:<\/span><\/p>\n

The CPI quantifies the average price concentration of a brand’s core offerings. The focus is on brands where “average prices on their products are higher than others” is addressed by this index. <\/span><\/p>\n

A high CPI score indicates that a brand maintains a narrow, extremely elevated price range, meaning their most accessible models start at a price point where many other luxury brands’ top tier models end. The CPI scores presented below are an estimation based on market research into the average retail price of each brand’s signature, non bespoke collections, focusing on their core dress shoes and high end casual offerings.<\/span><\/p>\n
