I think this might be it eg spending $250 instead of $50 on shoes or boots for longer life and improved comfort.

- pishpash 8y ago$250 shoes do not last 5 times as long as $50 shoes. Improved comfort is the main benefit.
- ebullientocelot 8y agoThe math can work out in some cases. I've had my 400$ Allen Edmunds for 8 years, some wear, but generally still in fantastic shape and very comfortable. Prior to getting them I bought 1-3 pairs of ~70$ department store shoes per year.
- zaarn 8y agoUsually it's very anecdotal and hard to tell ahead of time. My current shoes cost 40€ and that was about 4 years ago. So they have lasted atleast half as long as your expensive shows for 1/10th the price.
- perl4ever 8y agoI have some inexpensive Chinese-made boots that are over a decade old, I think. It can't be the norm that shoes last 4 months, unless you are talking about wearing down the soles of running shoes.
