An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I’m having some issues with plantar fasciitis so I picked up inserts for all the shoes I wear regularly, including my house slippers. Seems to be helping already.

Look at Mr I got more than one pair of shoes over here!

I got four pairs: my brown boots, my grey boots, my motorcycle boots and my slippers. The inserts were buy one get one, so that was nice.

I was going to upvote this but fell asleep halfway through the description.

I use inlays or inserts with foot support for a very long time now although I never had problems with my feet. I buy shoes only after I tried them on with such inserts.

Besides medical reasons there's a another big advantage to such inserts: One can exchange them when they get old and sweaty so the shoe doesn't start to stink permanently. Can prolong the usability of shoes immensely and help evade embarrassing situations.

If you have teenagers in the house you probably know what I'm talking about :)

I've had such poor luck with inserts. I recently bought some for my heel. They just do not stay in place. Not really that comfortable either now that I think about it. I might look at getting some larger ones, but honestly the ones I've had in the past haven't been that helpful either.

I should get inserts for my work boots. They're so uncomfortable. Blundstones. I think they're actually more uncomfortable than walking around barefoot. I was crawling under the house running a network cable so I had my "get trashed" clothes on, then I took the dog for a walk, man these boots sucked. I'll have to replace them if I need to start wearing them daily again. My redback boots were so much more comfortable but they eventually fell apart at the seam between the sole and the leather upper.
