I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.
Crocs. They are super comfortable and cured my foot pain. Still ugly, but I will never not own a pair as long as they keep making them.
There are 2 types of people in this world. The ones that like crocs and the ones that do not like crocs. I think it’s a very very clear definition into the psyche of humans
Those with sore feet and those without.
I bought them on purpose. For jobs you spend all day on your feet and are able to get away with crocs, they’re godsends. I used to spend 8 hours on my feet and finish without an ache. Nowadays I spend very little time on my feet, but still rock a pair of crocs when i’m walking about the house, garden, or to the shops.
Would not be seen dead in them anywhere else!
I was as anti-croc as you can get until I tried a pair on. For house slippers, yard work, and grabbing the mail, they’re absolutely amazing. I won’t be caught dead in public with them though. If Croc made an insole they would sell like hotcakes. They’ve perfected their arch support and rebound.
Yeah super comfortable but ugly. The other issue is that because they are so puffy, I can’t drive standard with them. I need to put on “regular” shoes for that. But if I am just tooling around the yard, they are great.
I got foot pain by using crocks, according to my phisio, so now I am learning to walk bare footed at home or in tight fitting shoes outside. Also I need hard shoesoles because apparently I have been using my toes too much to walk
