I haven’t personally owned them but I think the oxo professional series is well liked

Carbon steel isn’t non stick like ceramic or Teflon

Uh, definitely not. I’ve glued many soles. Very easy and cheap.

No you can remove an old sole and glue on a new one.

Pretty much any shoe can be resoled. GYW is really just a slightly more fool proof method than glue. But glue is really quite reliable as well. The issue is really the mid sole - which requires a more extensive process than just resoling.

High quality rubber but traction quite literally requires the rubber to wear off. By definition all rubber soles will wear out relatively quickly - especially those with greater traction.

You can just glue the soles…but the cost isn’t worth it. The sole, midsole, and insole all wear out, and that’s like 85% of the shoe- especially a running shoe.

No.

The wrong pillow can cause tension headaches.

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.

Shredded latex is about as far from down as you can get, lol. Very firm compared to down.

This is the answer. Haworth and knoll are good also- but a definite step down.

None of mine have lasted more than 5 years, and that includes linoto and rough linen. I went back to cotton.

Wool room has a washable wool version of their comforters. High quality and reasonably priced.

My darn tough shrink on low heat. Less for the cushion models than full cushion.

Darn tough are good for hiking and long distance walking - IF you have regular or narrow feet. They don’t work well with wider than average feet. And I strongly encourage you only get regular cushion - not full cushion, which is much tighter.

For everyday/ casual use, short walks, etc, I prefer Smartwool, which makes a looser, warmer, more cushioned sock that is better for regular use.

Synthetic Olukai, reef fanning , or Chacos (which are sandals not flips). Leather and water is not a good mix no matter what people tell you: I’ve tried.

Not for water…

Yeah lol, pricey stuff

(1) the outer cover of the duvet itself isn’t that critical because you’ll want to use a duvet cover, (2) feathered friends is the highest quality down you can get short of eiderdown.

That’s because speed queen uses designs from 30 years ago when you had to basically pre- dissolve your detergent.

They are kind of like Toyotas. Reliable by virtue of using old technology for a million years without any changes, after the rest of the industry has moved on. That’s why the 2023 4Runner has a 5 speed transmission and gets 18mpg and the tr7 can’t handle regular detergent lol.

OR ferrosi is great, but not super water proof.

It’s wool. That’s what it does.

It is subjective because everyone’s gait and weight is different. Maybe for you it’s longer. But generally speaking, the cushion of the shoes will be long gone by the time it’s literally unwearable.

Edit: also this is the guideline for running not walking, which obviously involves more impact.

Until what happened? 300 miles isn’t where the shoe falls apart. It’s a loss in ideal cushioning.
