I’m looking over a new pair of shoes I recently bought. My feet hurt after walking a few miles in them, so I inspected the insole area, and it was the cheapest 5mm foam imaginable with no other structural support. Below that is basically just the rubber sole. This shit cost $100.

This isn’t my first rodeo with overpriced, shitty shoes, so I always have a set of superfeet inserts on standby. Huge improvement, but fuck, why does everything have to be a rip off? Those inserts are $50 for some nicer foam and a simple sliver of molded plastic.

This brings me to the thread title: When was the last time you felt like you got your money’s worth for an item?

    Lamee as shit take, but NBA gametime is my only streaming app right, 15 bucks a month for the season is worth it especially if you aren’t in your home teams region. I get to watch my wolves 2-3 nights a week and they’re is usually a good game on the nights they aren’t playing.

    Also shoutout to secondhand wool shirts off eBay, I look for Pendleton or Woolrich stuff if it’s made in USA.
