More frugal than buy-for-life but: good shoes. Twice the price but they last way longer. It's cheaper in the end.
Ah yes, the Sam Vimes "Boots" Theory of Economic Unfairness:
GNU PTerry.
I used to work at a more chain sporting goods store. This one dude would come in every couple weeks to buy the same shitty work boots, he would always talk about how much he loved them. Couldn't help but think how much money he would've saved by just buying a good pair that would last him years. Being poor is expensive..
I'll add that using a shoe horn has tripled the life of my shoes.
Plus it's way easier to put them on instead of fumbling around with the back of the shoe/boot.
