I love this. But what I'm most interested in is the low expectations that I clearly have about the things I buy. I mean - I see flip flop and the comment says "..after 5 years" and I'm thinking "WHAT, five years? I'd be delighted if my flipflop lasted 6 months..."
Clearly I need to re-assess my whole way of thinking about modern products...
If you're in Europe, I can vouch for The Sole Workshop[1]. In their words, the warranty covers you, "as long as the sole has tread and the leather has not worn through. They are resoleable, and the maker, Bill, will carve the support structure to fit your exact foot measurements. They're comfy, and you can run in them, if that's your thing.
