John, you’re exactly the reason I saved a great expense & extremely happy to have interacted with an expert like you. My boots weren’t doing me any favours, visited a pro, assessed my boots & my feet.
Was ready to spend on some wide premium boots & they suggested proper walking socks, night and day difference and never looked back vs the couple of hundred they could have easily had me spend. Purchased more outdoor gear from them since, not the cheapest but respect them for the knowledge.
But you are tight as f*ck, and behaviour like this destroys actual retailers of expertise into closing the doors forever. You earn enough, allegedly, to pay it back by supporting local & national shops who offer these services.
