A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
Thanks for your detailed reply! I've never actually had a fitting done which I do fully intend to do for my next pair.
I agree with what you're saying about waterproofing when I think what I really meant was weatherproofing!
I'll definitely be looking to pick up some good repairable boots, probably leather and/or fabric blend.
I appreciate your input on materials as that was the main thing I wasn't sure on seeing as my previous pairs have all fallen apart in one way or another or simply become too worn to provide support
I'll be sure to keep that all in mind when I go for my new boots! Cheers!
