I have heard the advice to ‘buy twice’. The first time you buy a tool (e.g. boots), you’re really just trying it out, so buy a reasonably priced type. If you end up using the tool so often that you want a better one, then go ahead and buy the best type you can afford.

Yes, I was told the same. Lots of us have bought e.g. expensive power tools or electronics gadgets that we have hardly ever used!
