Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Was swapping out some shoes today and realized I haven't had a broken shoelace in years, even though they get mighty tugs. Seems like in the old days the laces would wear and break at the shoe eyes and it was common for my tenny-runners to have at least one broken and knotted together lace. Now I can't remember the last time I've broken a lace, though the shoes get worn out.
Tires, same deal (ok, maybe I was buying cheap tires or used tires from the wrecking yards back when). Still, been a decade or more since a flat that wasn't caused by serious outside agents (running over a broken toilet fallen out of the truck ahead of me).
What kind of things do you notice as being better built these days?
