I hate footwear shopping.

EE/EEE feet do that to a man.

When I do find a pair that works, I should probably buy 2 because eventually they'll wear out and no longer be made. Last pair I bought, uninsulated Pronghorns (better model) were a compromise because the "best" model wasn't in stock in the size I needed. I need a pair of medium height waterproof hikers but with current supply chain fukedness, it's impossible to find anything.
