Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wore shoes that cost $775 while on the campaign trail on Wednesday while touring Des Moines, Iowa.

She arrived at the Raygun shirt store in Des Moines in hand-stitched rainbow striped calfskin shoes made by designer Salvatore Ferragamo, which can be purchased here on sale for $542.

Clinton was gifted a shirt that said "America: Hill Yes" as she touted her commitment to young entrepreneurs and small businesses at the event, according to ABC News.

These shoes cost more than the average American makes in a week. "According to the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the average yearly income of a person in the United States as of 2013 was $28,155, meaning that each American earns an average of $2,346.25 per month, or $586.56 weekly," a previous Washington Free Beacon analysis states.

Clinton has previously worn expensive items such as a $7,497 Giorgio Armani jacket that she wore during her primary victory speech in New York.

Additionally, Clinton has gone to Bergdorf Goodman to get her haircut, which usually charges $600. "The salon charges $600 for a haircut and an additional $600 for color, meaning that patrons could pay as much as $1,200 for one appointment," the Free Beacon previously reported. "In July, Clinton took a trip to see salon owner John Barrett for a cut, shutting down a section of Bergdorf Goodman where staff closed off an elevator bank so the former secretary of state could ride alone."
