This might not apply anymore though since it seems capitalism found out about it and companies realized they could make the $50 boots as trash as the $10 boots and the rich wouldn’t think twice about throwing them out at the same rate so the two options now are spending $10 a year or $50 a year on boots.
A tough lesson I learned when I got worked my way into the middle class was that all the “expensive version that will last you” items are a thing of the past.
