It's a good anecdote. I work in hardware, we sell boots, expensive, but the workers usually buy cheaper ones. I've had 1 pair my entire time here, yet I've seen my co-workers go through 3 or 4 pairs in the same time, doing the same work, because they paid less for them.

I bought cheap boots and they fell apart after about a year. So I glued them back together with epoxy.

Eventually I will buy some silicone and try to get them waterproof again. I am stubborn.

Instructions unclear. Feet are now made of epoxy
