Quality footwear doesn't come cheap. Sure, you could buy readily accessible boots or shoes at shockingly affordable prices, but they may only stand up to a season or two of wear. Footwear made with high-end materials and world-class craftsmanship can be worn out, resoled and rebuilt for years.
Boots and shoes are built with function in mind. Are you wearing them to a job site? Out to a nice dinner? Around town while running errands? No matter how you answer, well-made footwear will make the trip more enjoyable.
