I tried a pair of these and they had a bizarre fit - the toe box was shifted way out of line with the back of the shoe. I tried them because I was looking for a wide toe box but they were crushing my toes due to the offset.

Wash once to clean off sweat or other body fluids, and then wash a second time with bleach. If you bleach the first time, sweat can react with the bleach to turn yellow. You can also add a blueing agent which helps counteract yellow to keep whites looking white.

I don't have a lot of white clothing, but this is how I wash mine and I haven't had issues with deodorant stains so far.

I love my New Balance Fresh Foam shoes, they come in wide widths and lace tightly. I think they were $150 with tax at a performance shoe store. I’ve had plantar fasciitis and heel pain issues, and they are pretty much gone now with so much comfortable support. I now can walk up to 19k steps in a day without pain afterwards! They also look nice and not too bulky, my 2nd choice was a pair of Brooks, similarly priced but kind of bulky looking.

I didn't remember my model; went to their website. Mine is the Primus Trail Knit FG. I really love them. The Lites seemed too much barefoot when I tried them on.

I second going to a local running store to get fit properly. Most good shoe brands come in wide width. I use Ascis in wide width and they are very comfortable. Each pair will last about a year. I'd also recommend in investing in good socks.

I understand that sentiment but honestly while I could afford to buy most of my collectible trucks, it would eventually bankrupt me, so yeah I’m definitely not feeling guilty for buying them at the goodwill.

If you look at reviews online you'll have a mixed bag of people that love it and people that hate it. I think this ultimately boils down to if you season it properly and use the right cooking technique (like properly heating the pan before adding oil/butter and the eggs). I've used a metal spatula on it a few times and the seasoning held, but I usually get paranoid and use a silicone spatula.
