Hehe that's really not me. I'm not a cheap guy per se but the things I enjoy do come cheap. I'm not a big jersey, or anything, collector and watch my football on a humble 32" LCD. But if I wanted that stuff she'd be right behind it, she's arguably a bigger Packer fan than I am. My disposable income goes to her as she'll ultimately get more enjoyment out of it than I would.
I've accepted that she wants $600 shoes. Its the turning down the knockoffs part that I don't understand. These are the shoes:

They are shoes, meaning the knockoffs are inherently identical in looks and performance. How can the label means that much to her?! I need one of our lady-rats to explain this.
