Instead of buying <$150 boots every 3-4 years, you could buy really nice boots that can last decades, where instead of throwing them away as the soles wear out you can have them resoled. Taking care of the leather becomes more important at that point, but unless you are really abusing them it is usually enough to get some nourishing oil and maybe some sealing waxy cream on them every 6 months or so.

I think you will also find that a pair of good shoes/boots can do more than merely "fit". They can accomodate your foot and its motion, feather your step, be so supple that it feels as if you are barely wearing anything, and they can keep your feet from tiring and warm even on long hikes.

I still like having throwaway pairs of cheaper boots to do stuff with that I would be afraid could ruin my more expensive/nicer ones though. And a fair few of the cheaper ones have been surprisingly good too.
