Shoes that can be resoled are way, way more expensive than shoes that can't be. (See also Sam Vimes' "boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness)
I'm currently wearing a pair of boots manufactured in 1982. They where my grandfather's. I'll have them repaired for as long as I can find a cobbler to do it. New laces on occasion and shoe polish every few months.
I disagree. I had a pair of cheap elastic sided boots from Rivers resoled, and my partner once got new heels put on his worn down Kmart shoes. It is possible to get shoes cheaper than the cost of resoling them.
