A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

Am also looking for sneakers to get for the following seasons:

  • grey ones for summer
  • black ones for spring/autumn

But I'm virtually clueless when it comes to fashion + they should be available in the EU

Check out doghammer, they also sell some for reduced price if they were display models or similar.

Furthermore they offer a repair service for certain parts of the shoe. I have a pair, though I didn't need the repair service yet, so cannot attest to that. I am using mines all year, even in (light) snow.

doghammer seems interesting, but they don't seem to have neither monochrome black nor monochrome grey shoes

which is a make or break for me, since I only wear black all year round and make exceptions for hot summer days during which I wear only grey >w<

You could also check out Lowa. I had a pair of them before my doghammers, and only replaced them after ~6 years because they got torn at the side.

They are a bit more expensive though...

their everday line looks interesting
