Reply to I need recommendations for shoes by pinkjingle
The vanvene trainers on Amazon cost $42 USA. They have memory foam and I ordered try before you buy. They felt amazing. Almost too good to be true ☺️. They are made for walking and can be used for running. You might like them. They have a lot of sole support and are designed so that your feet are not scrunched. I ordered from UK Amazon.
If those aren't a good pick for you, try a webpage called wider fit shoes. They have an Easter sale going on and they seem to be a solution for people with wider feet. I plan to order a pair of shoes from them soon. I've already ordered the Amazon shoes.

That camo didn’t exist in the 70’s mid 80’s at the oldest probably closer to 90’s make …And I don’t think it was ever Army issue….I think he’s pulling your leg

I work at a vet clinic. So it’s not me ruining the collars etc, just doing the exchanges

That pen was made in Janesville, Wisconsin. I think they moved production off seas. Honestly, I don’t know if they make Parker Pens anymore.

Honestly, yes. I love pens, have WAY too many of all kinds, good, nice, very nice, and my parker pens are always in my top. They come in colors too, not just silver or gold and if you get online you have have them engraved with names for special occasion gifts.

I had brooks revena tens and elevens, best shoes I’ve ever had, ran about six miles a day for several years with each pair and then finally gave them both to goodwill because they were still in good shape and I found other ways to exercise

I wish i could find wooden (angled) coathangers like those but with trousers clips for peace of mind.

Get one that looks just like it and cut the sleeves off and wear it around him just to see what he says

I have the Neuro-Fuzzy one and I can't remember when I bought it--seems like forever ago. Expensive, but SO worth it!

Reply to comment by P0llydog in I live in Sweden. I’m tired of my happy socks being unhappy all the time after only wearing them 3 months or so. Anyone recommend some durable socks for normal activity day to day use? (available in EU) by P0llydog
This is your problem, buying expensive durable socks is not going to solve the problem. Socks are designed to work as socks not shoes/slippers

100% this. I've got a space pen I've had for years because I never use it or carry it. If I did, I guarantee it would be gone for life.

Highly recommend All-Clad HA1 pans. You get all the goodness of cast iron (heat retention/distribution, non-stick), with none of the maintenance. Bought a set in 2019 and cooked through all of pandemic. No scratches so far and have yet to find anything that would stick

Darn tough socks. If they ever break you’ll get a new pair free.

I’ll add my vote to the stockpile of recommendations for DarnTough socks. Expensive per pair, but are comfy and last a long time. I believe DarnTough will even replace a pair for free if it wears out.

A hiking shoe with a good cushioning insert should last more
