I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

I bought of pair of real, honest to goodness birkenstock sandals. They were stupid expensive compared to the shoes I normally buy.

.....now I almost never wear any other shoe. They fit, they're comfortable, the straps dont cut into my feet now that they're broken in, and I can take them to the store to get resoled for way cheaper than if I had continued my pattern of buying cheap sandals and running them into the ground every few months.

What are you supposed to do to break them in? Mine cut into my feet like hell

I went to a furry convention and spent the whole con wearing the birks with thick socks underneath.

I looked goofy as hell, but by the end of the con they were all worn in.

One thing that can help as well is rubbing a little oil into the leather wherever it makes hot spots on your feel to soften the leather a touch.
