Park Avenues are on sale for $341.99 CAD: https://www.amazon.ca/Allen-Edmonds-Avenue-Oxford-Black/dp/B000H10RX2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527743557&sr=8-1&keywords=allen%2Bedmonds&th=1&psc=1
I just bought two Walnut Strands so I can get the right sizing. Seems like a good price considering how hard it is to find Strands this side of the border.
A little difficult at that price. Consider upping that budget just a little remembering that a good pair of shoes will last for a very long time.
Good suggestions would be: http://www.amazon.com/Allen-Edmonds-Avenue-Oxford-Black/dp/B000H10RX2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375426408&sr=8-1&keywords=allen+edmonds+park+avenue

Probably the best deal on Black Park Avenue firsts until next year's Anniversary Sale, no?
Edit - looks like Amazon currently has them for the same price!
while i agree with your overall statement, you probalby would have been better off using anything other than knives as an example.
a fibrox knife like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Swiss-8-Inch-Fibrox-Straight/dp/B008M5U1C2
holds an edge better than the much more expensive chef's knives out there. if you aren't running a kitchen and doing very specific work and maintaining them daily, those knives don't make sense.
now, take shoes: I used to buy a $60 pair of rubber soled shoes every year and they would always fall apart. now I buy full grain leather, leather soled shoes that can be recrafted if they ever wear out. $300 for a pair of shoes like these sounds crazy until you realize that they actually save you money over the long term
Why a high-end knife is probably not for you
