I can't stand forced change! (Stupid apparel shopping rant)

[ToughBowtieTruck]

All I want is to order my 5" 13w Irish Setter Rockford composite toe shoe/boot in blue/gray color. I've had them probably 4 years now and thoroughly feel comfortable climbing in and out of the semi 40+ times a day and on trips averaging 300 miles. Get a new pair every year since work gives me an allowance, and I put a ton of wear and tear on them.

Several places seem to have been out of stock for a while and it sucks to think I may have to get a different shoe. It pisses me off to finally find something I like just to have it out of stock or potentially discontinued a few years later.

Similar story here. Maybe 10 years ago I found some Lowa boots that were the perfect mix of comfort, traction, and style. These are strictly recreational and I normally get a couple years out of them. Last year they were suddenly hard to find. I eventually found this place moosejaw (or something like that) that had 5 pair in my size and color. I bought all 5.

Boots for me too, my GF actually had a pair and recommended I try a pair for myself when mine wore out. Sure enough most comfortable best wearing boots for driving truck I've ever owned. Like Tough Bowtie I get an allowance so I got another free pair, mine were still good so I sold them, next year the same. Finally I really do need a new pair and WTF these fucking boots are totally shit now, GF feels the same way. Currently looking for some decent boots to replace what we have now.

Never found the boots that I really like. Slowly going through the list at work. My problem is with shirts spent years going through shirts trying to find one that I liked finally found a carhart that I like a lot bought them and wore them for years then goin into the store to buy a bunch more and discontinued. Found one store that had a case left so I bought them out. Now I’m back on the never ending search for the right shirt again.

Years ago my friends and I used to go to 40 steps in Newport, RI. We would get blazing high, listen to music, surf, and eat Chef Boyardee ravioli straight out of the can. Then they changed the recipe of the ravioli to "new and improved".

It was never the same.

Holy shit. I bought a can of that stuff a little while ago and busted into it last week, yup not the same at all.
