    That piece of advice doesn’t really apply to things like workboots. There are plenty of solid workboot brands that sell ~$300 boots that’ll last 3-5 years easily if properly taken care of. Some jobs are the exception, of course.

      Agreed on boots. But I specifically mentioned sneakers.

      Work boots and hiking boots can last a decade. You can retread them at a cobbler even.
