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.

If you want to keep those dress shoes, you can get them re-soled. They'll be good as new!

    They really only need a new outsole (?), and I have thought about it, I'm just not sure if it's worth the effort. They still look okay as long as you don't see the bottom of the soles, and it really only affects me when I'm on slippery surfaces.

    When I typed that out, I realized I could get them resoled with something that has more traction and they would be better than new.

    I had a pair of leather sole dress shoes. I wore the soles out enough and had them re-soled with rubber. Best solution ever

    Incidentally we have the word "revamped" meaning renewed. That comes from shoe repair, where the vamp of the shoe is replaced
