A while back I bought boots that cost 100€ or so. They lasted for a year. Then I bought boots that cost 50€. Again, wore them out in a year or two. Then I spotted cheap boots that cost 10€ and thought that they wouldn't be a big loss even if they lasted only one winter. That was 5 years ago. I still wear those boots. 5 winters and continuing.
