Jim Green Razorbacks. I'm wearing mine now, and they are the most comfortable, versatile hiking boot I've ever owned. 2 years in and the soles are still fine, and I walk more that 30 miles a week with them, but since they are goodyear welted, they can be resoled easily.

I know alot of people are suggesting aeron. And it is a great chair. But it is definitely more work oriented. Hard to slouch or sit cross legged in it. I recommend the staples 'Hyken' mesh chair. And its in your price range

I’ve got a few of these I grew up with and I’ve never been able to sort their age from the codes on the bottom. They just don’t line up or I’m missing something

Huge one - N945 12-(B)

Smaller Aladdin - NO. A-1357 Quart Wide Mouth

Aladdin with handle - NO. A-944DH Quart (94)

Lastly a NO. A-943B Pint which is stamped 0117

Don’t other people do this? I have 3 pairs of a particular boot I like in my closet that I have never worn. They stopped making the boot in 2000 so I wanted to make sure I had some pairs for when I needed them. They are surplus boots so the cost to do was almost noting and I have enough pairs of my go to boots to last me forever. So I can see buying a few of these, if you like them, and they are not being made anymore. After 30 years i know what I like so no reason not to get some backup of whatever it is you like.

You are asking a generalized and vague question which will lead you in circles and not get you the answer that you seek.

We need a budget. $1000 boots are a thing and fine for some and not for others. Along with this, a look/use case would be nice as there are turtlenecks and fashion turtlenecks and turtlenecks for warmth.

Have you used the search engine? You are asking about 4 products and we have spoken on each many times. Have you read https://www.reddit.com/r/goodyearwelt/comments/kfbe17/gyw_for_women_brands_and_notes/ which speaks to boots?

OK, I switched to an Apple-branded USB-A to Lightning cable and Klein ET920 tester, verified with an Apple 10W USB charger that it did 5.07V 1.68A on an old iPad Pro with Lightning connector (it was 87% full so probably not drawing at its fullest).

When put on the Nitecore on, it did the same 5.07V 1.56–1.68A whether I turned on slow-charge mode or not. At this point I think it's a placebo, and if you want fast charging up to the rated 18W you must use USB-C, but on USB-A YMMV depending on the cable.

This also confirms my feeling that every power bank maker should adopt the Anker 737's status display feature, and that a USB multimeter is a must-have accessory.
