Agreed on the tight on Darn Tough It's almost weird. Like no other socks seem tight to me...theirs do. I always buy the largest I can get in Darn Tough and it seems to work out once they form a little.

Enameled Dutch oven, I just have a cheap one from Target.
Deep fry, boil noodles, make soup, sear meat and (my favorite) baking bread all in 1 pot.

A man of taste! Are these better than Darn Tough? I’m pretty dedicated to their socks....

Reply to Bonded leather office chairs will only last about a year & then you have a large piece of trash. by temp225566
Bonded leather isn't actually leather. Its a leather byproduct. So it does contain powdered leather, but its mostly fabric, with a leather shavings coating.

Reply to Request: Best office chair for bad back by ilovetpb
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.

I have four pairs, I wear each one for a couple of days... since you know, wool. I do want to buy four more, however.

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.

Are they as tight as Darn Tough? I want to buy-in but I have 2 pairs of Darns and they feel like compression socks. And I don’t have big feet at all.
For now I just buy a new bag of champions from Sam’s club every year and toss the old ones.

Why do these types of socks always come only in garish stripes? It's so hard to find some nice solid unobtrusive colors.

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

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.

That's awesome, I've honestly never heard of Grip6 but I have 6 pairs of Darn tough and the few that ended up with a couple holes were replaced from them after shipping. Which I find reasonable. I will definitely check these guys out!

Why not? Isn't the point of the sub to share high quality products that last a long time?

I’ll checkout their socks. But you’ll never get me off my Mission Belts.

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.

Pampered Chef apple slicer and ice cream scoop. I know it’s a MLM, but these two will last forever.

Easily my favorite socks. Bought them when they first were released and have been adding more every year.
