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.

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

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 used to say that I would never have a pair of those goofy looking shoes on my feet. My step-daughter came over one day and left hers by the door. I had to go to the mailbox, so I joked, “ha ha, I’m stealing your crocs!” By the time I got back from the mailbox, I was looking up a pair to purchase online. Yeah, they’re goofy looking, but good gravy Marie they’re comfortable!

…and then I discovered that they make loafers that I could wear to work. 💸💸💸
