The best office chair is one that actually fits you. Most are made way too big and plush, which leads to poor posture. You should be able to sit with your back supported by the backrest, feet on the floor, and still be able to slide 4 fingers in between the back of your knee and the seat cushion.
Standing desks are wonderful, but I still find the need to have a good chair because I can't stand all day.

Winter boots get beat up and often don’t last a lifetime no matter what brand you choose. My Chippewas and my Wolverines lasted several years each. Timberland Earthkeepers were the worst. On a pair of Lems Boulder Boots right now. Once they wear out maybe I’ll finally try the Iron Rangers.

FYI: This was my issue too after trying 5 different styles. So I wrote them to ask if they had any diabetic socks that aren’t as tight. (Even though I’m not diabetic). They wrote back “no” but try their “tactical” socks which aren’t as tight. I haven’t gotten any yet though so I can’t really comment if that’s true.

Steelcase Gesture

  • “stiffer” chair option for those that like a lot of support
  • upgrade from the Steelcase Leap
  • best adjustable arms on the market 100% if that’s your thing

Herman Miller Sayl

  • surprisingly comfortable with a plastic/rubber back formed for ergonomics

Haworth Fern

  • neck hugging high back
  • have gamer versions with even more robust ergonomics

Herman Miller Aeron

  • use to be a super popular mesh seat chair but doesn’t seem to be preferred anymore in a line up of fabric seat chairs

I'm on my second pair of kamiks in 10 years. I love them and one of the only women's boots that actually had the cold rating right on the tag. Mine are good to -40°f so when paired with a decent pair of wool socks work great for MN winters.

Yeah I have both, though more Grip6 socks than Darn Tough. I definitely like Grip6 more, I just think they're more comfortable, also it's nice that the wool is from the US. One problem is that I don't like ankle socks, I basically only wear high socks, and Grip6 doesn't have any thin socks other than their ankle socks, as far as I can tell.
