more expensive shoes will lead to longer lead times to sell inventory, due to downward slope of the Demand curve (less demand for more expensive shoes).

If you sell $75 shoes, you can sell 1000 units/mo, but if your shoes are $100 you can only sell 700/mo and it will take 1.5 months to sell 1000 units.

This effectively increases fixed overheads per pair of shoes and decreases net margin per pair, given constant demand
