So after realizing working on concrete is bad for my body the hard way 😅 I invested in thorogoods heritage 6" as my first pair about 8 months ago. It's reduced a lot of fatigue on my body but I still feel like my body is taking a lot of impact for being on concrete for 10+ hours a day. My feet and ankles are still fatigued pretty bad. I know the next recommendation would be insoles.. I have custom orthotics, powerstep and sole/fulton cork insoles I have tried them all in my boots. (Darn tough wool socks too).

I was wondering if anyone else who stands on concrete for a long time had a similar experience. I know thorogoods are known for being pretty comfy out of the box and they do help but I just don't think they are right for my feet. I typically respond to firm support. I was leaning towards red wings traction tred lite. Did anyone else struggle with thorogoods (width wasn't an issue) and find another brand that helped them a lot?

Hi all. 12 days post surgery everything was feeling really good and getting to the point where I wasn't paranoid about everything. Yesterday I was running around the front yard with my daughter for a bit and felt a pop where the inguinal mesh was on my left side. It hurts and feels inflamed today and the pain increases when I bend over. My hernia was really small and didn't protrude most of the time anyways prior to surgery, it was just alongside my big one on the right side to get it out of the way.

I'm kinda in that googling phase of did I mess it up, somethings say it's fine and it's a stitch or scar tissue irritation etc and others say the pop can be mesh failing. Just posting to kind of get some peace of mind from others so I can stop worrying about it and get back to my weekend with my kids.
