I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

    Bespoke boots are amazing especially if your foot width is out of the norm. Very few brands have width options. But I have 2 pair of boots (one pair tall, one pair below the ankle) custom to my foot shape and size and they fit so well. I expect them to last, though I expect to replace the sole several times.

    • Absolutely!

      Having a set of footwear that you can replace the soles on is incredible. Not having to “break in” a new pair of shoes is fantastic. Knowing that you’re not only contributing to craftsmanship, but also greatly reducing your landfill contributions is priceless.
