Reply to comment by numaxmc in Request: Flexible Steel-Toe Shoes that are Extra Wide by TheWonkiestThing
Your thoughts on this matter are false. Please read Rule 1 and perhaps buy BIFL shoes....if you need tips, just ask.

You know you can go to a Red Wing store, get a fitting and then ask for some quality Red Wing steel toe footwear right? Red Wing sells like 900 pairs of footwear with some being BIFL and some being shitbox, so you cannot disparage the brand when you bought shitbox Red Wing shoes.

I have the same issue and have tried all kinds of pillows from $20 to $100. I now sleep without a pillow. All neck pains are gone! But there's a brand call Hotel Collection at Macy's that has pretty good quality stuff.

The Casper down pillow is very expensive but it’s the best pillow I’ve ever had.

Found a leather worker on etsy. Uses horse bridle/full grain leather. It has outlasted any store-bought belt and I'm an electrician who puts a small pouch on it everyday.

THIS. Mine are over 10 years old and look brand new. They work just as good as premium towels, dry super fast, never mildew and take up 75% less room in my linen closet.

Timberland pr series are comfortable as fuck. I also have a pretty wide foot, size 11-12 depending on the boot, and they are awesome. Not built for life. But I'm in a heavy industrial field and they typically last a solid year and a half before becoming yard work boots. As a rule I wear pull on boots but I've owned a few of their lace ups and couldn't complain at all for the quality vs price.

Try Tory leather. They make halters, leads etc. for horses and the belts are truly good. I bought my husband one before our kids were born and it's still in great shape, the only thing is that it stretched out slightly so he's had to move holes once or twice.

I looked at the brand last time I stayed at a nicer hotel. It was actually called “Hotel Collection” and you can find the brand at places like Macy’s and Nordstrom. They also make bedding, robes, etc.

My husband swears by WesCo boots for comfort and durability. They are expensive, but will custom build for your size and can be rebuilt when the sole wears out.

Speed queens are overrated, they beat clothes up pretty badly and are awful for power consumption

Love my Teva sandals. Got them when I broke my ankle and was healing, were comfortable when pregnant, held up while carrying around/running after a child outdoors. 5 summers strong.

Fix your current model. My 10yr old kenmore elite washer needed a new bearing and the only option was an entire new assembly with install would have prob been $800. I bought new GE profile units instead of fixing. (The blue ones) Huge mistake. If you care about how loud they are DO NOT BUY. They are incredibly loud on spin. Almost 90db. Ge visited to observe and said this is just how loud they are. New units offer zero value over old units and they are 3x as loud. I’d strongly consider keeping you old unit.

Yeah I have both. Not saying there’s no advantage to latex - but it’s just not at all comparable. Especially shredded latex - they’re very firm and springy compared to down.

Ikea has a pretty decent feather pillow. I’ve only had mine for about a year but they’ve kept their shape very well and are very comfortable. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/bergven-pillow-high-00460228/

That's the weak answer. The full retard answer is long staple cotton. Also goes by Pima, Supima or Egyptian Cotton. If you don't see these words, its not long staple.
