Certain models are too tight around the heel and ankle for my monstrous sized feet. I've had to do an exchange here and there. But I haven't had one single failure in the ones that do fit in many years of use. I got my dad using them also.

Nothing received...but here are my "used" items:

• 1950s aluminum Christmas tree with color wheel! From my MIL who dug it out of her attic when we bought a 1950s house.
• I tuck the Christmas cards we receive into the frame of a huge 1960s dresser mirror (also courtesy of MIL) that now hangs above the mantle-less fireplace. The frame is loose enough that I can wedge cards between the mirror and the wood. Every now and then I think about getting a new mirror, but change my mind when I realize it takes years for the wood to shrink just enough to get the useful gap.

I bought an Oster Fast Feed 15 years ago. Never let me down and I've never looked back.

I’m weirdly between an XL and XXL so yeah similar issues.

Fans actually not a loss either. The loss is in heat which this case is the desired effect!

For $2k and under, I’d look at high-end secondhand. Look into estate sales and estate liquidators in fancy neighborhoods near you. Well-off people buy and sell houses, redecorate, and get divorced often. Downside is that you will have to move it yourself or pay for moving. Skip FB marketplace and middle income stuff, go very high end and people will practically pay you to take it. They just want it gone.

Wahl is the way! Just picked up a peanut to add to the arsenal

3 pairs look like counterfeits based on a post a few days back. All the extra threading on the inside.

Absolutely this. Have 13 pairs, already went through warranty twice on my first pairs. Was extremely easy, they absolutely stand by their products. Amazing investment.

Also the full cushion socks are frigging stellar.

Wahl clipper elites have served me well for many years.

I don't do anything special, I abuse the shit outta them. Oldest pair is 5+ years, over 1000 miles hiked in em. A lil stretched out, 2 holes from wear. Will probably warranty them in ~5 more years.

I usually just go to the Red Wing store, which I am fortunate to have close. I can buy laces or if I am getting a replacement for a pair of Red Wings and happen to be wearing them, they just give them to me for free and I change them out there.

Are these the ones they don't want you to wash and dry like normal socks?

A Dale of Norway sweater. Should last for life, unless the moths get to it 😏

I dunno. Sounds like the kind of excuse a sentient centipede would use ..

What was the item you got? In case we are looking ourselves 😂?

We need pre-screening kiosks for safely and cheaply shipping knives home before it's too late

Different pairs for different footwear and I don’t like doing laundry lol.

I bought Asolo boots over 25 years ago. They're on their 5th or 6th new sole (and the last one says my shoemaker). He's also sewn the upper a few times. I keep them clean and snowsealed. It will be a sad day when I need a new pair.

Breville precision brewer. Its damn good coffee.

Why didn't you get it recovered?

Merrell Moab or Scarpa GTXs!

I got this couch on amazon back when getting a couch shipped to you took 6 months but this one offered within the week delivery. Honestly, really nice quality and extremely comfortable. It has a deeper than usual seat cushion so I can cross my legs on the chair with comfort (something I prefer) and some friends + me have slept on it as it's a nice size when you move the back cushions. Do give the amazon brand a chance. They're getting these couches all from the same source at the end of the day.

My husband got me several pairs for Christmas and has completed my collection so I’ll never buy socks again! I love Darn Tough

I also have different styles and some of have that fit issue. Those are the socks that aren't as soft and don't stretch as much. I think that Darn Tough also just fits a little tighter than other socks.

Edit: Styles 1617 and 1437 are the ones I don't like.

1683, 1474, 1769, 1982 are great so far
