Saw a youtube short the other day about the differences between legit air Jordans and a pair of $40 knockoffs from some different factory in China, and they were listing things like how the netting is horizontal instead of 45°, and the little inch tall cartoon of a guy has the wrong number of fingers, and ended the video saying something like "so yeah, it's really not worth it to buy cheap knockoffs, you should really spend the extra money to get the real thing"

I wear 6e wide shoes. It kind of infuriates me that people spend more than I spend on shoes, not to have nice shoes to wear, but just to have them. I gotta grind my $130 boots to dust every 6 months, and these mfs are spending that much just to show them off. I hate sneakerheads dude it's such a stupid hobby

Please look into Nicks or Whites or traditional bootmakers. They will give you indestructible boots in all of the wide sizes. More expensive upfront but you can give them to your grandchildren if you do minimal care and pay the $50 to have them resoled as needed.

They're pretty expensive, but have you ever tried Thorogood boots?
