Experiences of others has near zero value to you. If you want BIFL footwear, the general rules are:

$100/Euro will not get you BIFL footwear.

Goodyear welt construction is BIFL material, there are other types, but those tend to be the $1000 shoes.

You don't buy based on Brand Name, you buy based on construction. For example, the boots you linked to are not BIFL as they are glued construction. Maybe Tommy has BIFL boots of another type.
