(!buyitforlife)

So the idea of "buy it for life" is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

Redwing is good, but not really that much better than any other real leather work boot. And outdoor, wet, muddy oily, work can and does wear out the leather. I usually get two soles per upper on boots. Some guys i work with always wear out their leather before soles, but they never clean or condition the leather.
