Your podiatrist probably told you to forget the sneakers and go to a leather shoe.
I recommend San Antonio Shoe Company out of San Antonio Texas. Their not cheep, around $250. But I was a research technician with equal time in cement floors as I was on carpet. My pair is now well over 8 years and I cannot kill them. Only secret I found is to keep them in cedar Shoe trees when not in use (keeps them from curling upwards). My son an Electrical engineer also wears the same.
They can also be resoled.
I wear their Aiden Oxford line

Reply to My 10+ year old washing machine is on its last legs. What is the most durable washing machine in the American consumer market? by wecouldhaveitsogood
Speed Queen made in Wisconsin since 1908. Longest warranty, all metal internals (all metal gears in transmission), same components in their homeowner units as are found in their commercial units. Cost more than most, but will last over 25 years. One of the brands most found in laundrymats. Only competition is Maytag Commercial (not Maytag homeowner).
We have their front loader washer and dryer going on 10 years.
If shopping stay away from the big box stores and search out a local independant appliance dealer, preferably one who offers repairs. They will best be able to guide you to the pros and cons of each manufacturer as well as what is available in your price range.

Yes,we have a queen size bed and have no problems. My wife is also a quilt maker, so she is always washimg something large. When purchased 10 years ago we had a family of 5 consisting of myself, my wife, my mother-in-law, a teen age son and a teen age daughter. We filled and ran that unit constantly.
Two things about Speed Queen I found out; 1. They measure their capacity different from the other brands so it looks low., 2. Their washers fill to the top, most, others only half fill.

Reply to Speed queen for $777. Should I drive 9-10 hours there and back to get it? by Aemon_Targaryen
Lets ask a better question, age and model of what is offered, treat it like a used car take the new cost and divide by half if within the 1st. 10 years.
I don don't listen to CR, I worked for the only company to sue and win against CR, only to loose in the Supreme court due to the 1st admendment. Also ever see that Yale always gives an opinion that matches the big box stores, but is 180 against every forum?

Good to hear, I got my son-in-law a pair of their 8 inch fly boots for Christmas at his request. He's an apprentice pipe fitter.

Maytag was great when they were Maytag. After Whirlpool purchased them in 2006 their quality dropped The only exception is their commercial line which goes head to head with Speed Queen. About the only 2 brands you will find in most laundromats.

Go Speed Queen, all metal internal construction no plastic gears. Longest warrantee, same components in their homeowner as the commercial units. Ours are at 10 years and still going strong.

Partially true. Only 10% is still made in the US, the rest out of the country. I had to order mine, even with my choice of insulation and shipping it still came out less $$ than if I purchased the Honduran made available locally.
Used all USA Clothing. https://allusaclothing.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAuaKfBhBtEiwAht6H797kXTf5Pu3lc5u9edTes22hl6urtWucdJ4dK2Ap8ADmW_H-rbv8nBoCa-UQAvD_BwE

Wallets are like handbags for the spouse, let him pick out his own unless he asks you. My wife is intelligent, good meaning, but has learned no belt, no wallet, no shoes, no tools. Just my 2 cents, but have been happily married for 40 years

Reply to comment by useLimhamn in Looking for durable lunch box by useLimhamn
My wife needed a new cooler, the normal Walmart ones can barely hold a takeout container with ice pack let alone anything else. I purchased the Rctic Everyday Soft cooler for $49. It holds 2 takeout containers, ice pak, ziplock bag cut up apple, 2 water containers and still have room for salt, pepper and utensils. Size is only 8 x 10 x 11 inches.
They have other sizes, use link in my original posting.

Depends on what you mean by durable? Office durable or construction site durable. If the 1st. I just purchased an rctic for my wife. Lots of room.
If construction what are your other workmates using?

Reply to comment by 1testaccount1 in Looking for a basic snow shovel that won’t do this after only 2 winters. by AXXXXXXXXA
The shovel is aluminum unless you count white rust (near ocean) it doesn't rust. Mine looks as good as the day I bought it. Sits outside next to the steps all winter, then an unheated shed the rest of the year. The only piece that is steel is the handle.

Look into buying a metal grain shovel. Mine is going on 30 years, and my sons on 10 years. Only repair I had to make this year was to grind the edge flat due to all the scrapping against asphalt.

I'd try a different brand, Tide, Gain, etc, just as an experiment. As with everything even detergents can have a bad batch.

Change your detergent, as asked before what brand are you using. Never had a staining problem with ours going on 10 years.

Did you read your owners manual?, detergent in the bottom of the washer, fabric softener on top of agitator, bleach into the slot on front left.
https://speedqueen.com/products/top-load-washers/tr7003wn/
As we found on our Speed Queen, don't over use the detergent, and use an HE detergent at the amount recommended. don't overload, about 16 lbs roughly 1/2 load.
