Toss it in the washing machine.

Why Ti?

Why not made in China?

Probably because the English like to keep things simple to understand.

Reduce

Reuse

Recycle

How long will it take a batter to biodegrade once it can no longer be recycled?

Buy a used gas car.

When they are no longer available get a used alternative fuel vehicle.

You understand there is a huge carbon footprint to generate the electricity necessary for an e-vehicle and their batteries will never biodegrade, never.

If you want sustainability - do not buy anything new, regardless of how it was made or how long it will last.

Parents elect lawmakers, who determine policy.

I say I did not support the law.

I also do not support disinformation

Governments determine school curriculum across the country.

Parents can do what they want.

So say that.

But don’t say is stops sex education in school, because it does not.

Do you suppose age appropriate discussion of heterosexual stuff?

Or do you think age is irrelevant it any topic about sex?

I think the law is to not say gay below a certain age.

It does not “prevent education about sexuality and gender in classrooms” per say.

I think it is a stupid law, but when it comes to politics, it’s important to be as honest as possible.

Everything you say in immaterial.

All that matters is when the shoe is put on, does it die or not.

The only way to tell is by putting it on.

Two exact same shoes, identical in every way, can fit different.

As for custom made boots, the OP said he does not want to “break the bank” and by any definition that rules out bespoke.

As for your definition of fit, it is not just length and width as you speak, your needs to also consider last and arch.

Read my words- the most important thing is the fit.

No two feet are the same.

For work boots, fit is even more important.

Now those $700 boots that you only were to Starbucks for a couple hours once a week, it’s ok if they make your feet hurt and cause blisters.

Depends on what fits better.

As with any footwear purchase - forget about brand.

Fit is the only thing that matters.

Synthetic is terrible for the environment.

Get a Filson Mackinaw and a good hat.

Iron Heart

I have worn them all,to the 10k a day.

Smartwool Treking is my favorite.

They last longer than DT with superior comfort.

That being said, I did get DT to replace, but comfort and toughness are inversely related.

Not a fan.

You will always feel damp in that coat, and some of the wax will transfer to seats.

Stainless.

Old Navy commercial just came on. Over 20 people, not one white guy.

When did you get your last pair?

I got mine six weeks ago.

Lol
