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

Oh, you're in luck. The UK makes the most durable boots on the planet
I'd recommend the Euro Safety Boot as a starting point.
Stick to anything with the "vegetan micro" uppers. It's the synthetic leather that the luxury yachts and cars switched-to decades ago, because it's wayy more durable than leather. And (nearly) zero maintenance.
Here's a review of their airseals after 7 years of abuse.
They look pretty good, there’s an ankle boot that looks about right, but unfortunately they don’t have them in my size at the moment. I’ll ask them when they’ll be back in stock
