They can be, but they don’t need to be. I’ve worn quite a few similar Lowa boots/shoes and they are very comfortable. Especially if you take the time to get a proper fit and wear them with proper socks and the correct style of lacing for what you want/need.
They are more expensive, but they also take way more abuse and keep your feet comfortable for far longer than cheap sneakers. You should always spend good money on good shoes. Cheap shoes can cause all sorts of feet problems.
Yes, this is the rule I follow as well. $200 red wings keep my feet happy in the machine shop all day, and a good mattress nets me the zzz’s just right.
Agree. I still have the pair of Docs I bought after seeing Pearl Jam at Lollapalooza in 92. They were my “nice” shoes and I never worked in them but I wore them all the time. Very comfy and warm to this day.

Note, “cheaping out” may include material and production quality, not simply the price you pay at the POS.
I’ve had expensive shit, and cheap gold. Typically though, gold is expensive.
