Reply to Warm blanket for the legs during cold winters? by somedudeman35

Eddie Bauer makes great fleece-lined down blankets. 2 sizes. Recommended you Get them when they are on sale. I own 5.

Failing that, Costco regularly sells quite good Sherpa fleece blankets in the months before winter. Great value (I have 3 of those too!)

You could also get fleece-lined tights from Eddie Bauer. My wife and daughter have them and rave about them.

If you invest in top quality (mostly leather) dress boots, dress shoes, hikers, and take care of them they should basically last forever. $100 shoes will never survive. $400 and up? Bloody better last, but you need to look after them like a car, with regular visits to a Shoe professional after so many miles.

And why not learn how to touch up and polish your own shoes. My dad taught me as a young teen. Though I don't wear dress shoes for work much anymore, I love knowing how. And other than my brother, I don't know a single person under 60 that knows how!

Also, stitched on soles are far less common now than when I was a teenager. But the glues used today are superio, so I don't mind if they're not stitched these days.
