Reply to comment by ZionBane in When did this sub go from advice and talks of quality to survivors bias posts? Is there a sub that better matches how this was years ago? by xSympl

My redwings boots are still going strong 4 years later. But the brand offers a bunch of styles with varying levels of sustainability or quality. Certain styles might be bifl right? Like foam or squishy rubber soles aren't going to last even if the brand is well liked. Trying to understand if you mean redwings suck as a whole because some styles are garbage?

Redwing are perfectly serviceable footwear, so are Caterpillar, Wolverine, and Brahma.

My feelings are thus when it comes to BIFL, If you are going to claim something is BIFL, you should be able to back that up, ideally with the thing you think has longevity, actually having Longevity under your care.

Seems reasonable No?
