The cost of shoes varies because of the materials used. Steel is usually a bit cheaper, but last about 3x longer than aluminum. Aluminum shoes don't last long and cost more over the long run, but are lighter and easier on the feet. The prices for metal shoes are not set due to the fluctuating market value of metals.
