Is it better to invest in one high-quality pair of shoes for my child or several cheaper pairs that can be replaced more frequently?

Hey, I want to make sure my child has comfortable and durable shoes that will last them through their active lifestyle. However, I'm torn between investing in one high-quality pair or buying several cheaper pairs that can be replaced more frequently. They can get through shoes so quickly sometimes that I am worried to splash out. What do other parents recommend?
