Hi all, don't see much activity here, but posting anyway. In order to follow the wife, i'll end up a US expat in Canada. Of the locations we can end up , none will be in the GTA. We have somewhat of a choice and I can have some influence on ranking these. Obviously job prospects are top...

This may not be what your looking to hear, but sharing anyway. Struggled for a long time trying to find wide, comfortable shoes. I always had to buy a size up, just to get the width I needed. But then the length obviously becomes an issue. Ok, pop in some insoles/orthos of choice. But still...

Hello all! OK, so I know that the clincher questions have been beat to death. But as a noob, looking to understand where I might have gone wrong on a purchase. Completely new to the world of rec slow-pitch softball in NYC..the “Clincher leagues”. Hadn’t played baseball in over 10 years. Like...
