As a retailer, we set our own prices independently, but some manufacturers restrict how we may communicate those prices. In some cases the manufacturer does not allow us to show you our price until the item is in your cart.
Unless you flatten the back, these are not as easy to slip on/off as I hoped. If loose enough to slip on, it's a very loose fit, so lacking stability. With the thin fabric and loose toe box, these are not athletic shoes. However, they look good and are comfortable so if casual wear is what you're after, consider these.
