Folmo mall is a perfect example of this.
How much do you think it'd cost to create a giant shoe? You'd probably need like at least two guys working on it for at least a day, which would amount to hundreds of dollars not even accounting for the material cost. Then factor in supply and demand, which would probably raise the price further. Add brand names, and you're looking at what would probably be thousands of dollars just for one pair of shoes.

I just don't see how Zentradis having large bodies would be at all beneficial in a human culture. You say construction work, but building a skycraper is not like building a model house, and machinery would be more reliable than a giant man.

That's why it seems likely to me that only wealthy Zentradi could afford to be giants. Being a giant would have no particular advantage over more convinentional means while posing some serious disadvantages, particularly where maintaining a life-style is concerned.
