I have wide feet due to bunions and struggled for a long time to find comfortable shoes, until I found the brand Lems.

Lems are a zero drop, wide toe box brand and it was amazing to finally find shoes that didn’t make my feet hurt in any way. They have 3 different lasts, and the product page for each model will say which last it uses. I specifically buy their “widest last” for comfort.

If you’re looking for a boot style, I love my Lems Boulder Boots and they’re my daily wearers during the colder months. They make a few different versions with different types of outsoles.

I had a similar situation as you. I got a prescription later in life in my late 20s after never wearing glasses before. One eye had a stronger prescription than the other.

It took me about 5 days of daily wear to fully acclimate to the prescription. Each day got better than the last, but I definitely felt like you are describing on day 1.

It isn’t a fun process but it will also feel better and your eyes will feel much less strained with the prescription, so it is ultimately worth it.

To me, the appeal of Fair phone has always been it’s repairability. And I think that they view the repairable aspect as a big part of their eco impact, as they intend for people to own their Fairphone for much longer and repair pieces as they need to be buying a new device entirely every 2-4 years.

Adding work into the shower would diminish it’s idea generating powers.

The reason we are able to come up with good ideas in the shower is that our mind isn’t otherwise occupied by doing anything else. We aren’t on our phones, watching TV, having a conversation, or working. Our mind has no obligations and the act of cleaning yourself doesn’t require much mental load. So our mind is free to drift and think freely about whatever it wants. We don’t have many similar times of distraction-free brain freedom in our modern lives.

Add in a task like taking a meeting, and now you’ve removed that key no thoughts head empty feature of showers that leads to the brain blast.
