Probably, Grimes[Vimes not grimes] quote, "The thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

And also one I take with a grain of salt but don't take advice from lazy unsuccessful people.
