The only product I've ever first heard of via an Internet ad that I tried and was exactly as advertised is my Groove Life belt. This thing is fuckin' nice and has a lifetime guarantee. I can send it back for a different color if I wanted to, and I've had it for a few years now.

Everything else I've tried after finding it from ads online has sucked major balls or been basically no better than a cheaper brand.

This reads like an ad

Yes! My wife was going to leave me and run off with my conventionally attractive neighbour, but then I discovered Groove Life™! I immediately called their toll-free number and ordered a pair of Groove Life™ socks. My life has never been the same since! Once he saw me walking down the street with new-found confidence thanks to my Groove Life™ socks, my neighbour dumped my wife and moved in with me.

My entire family had been skinned alive and I was made to watch it all. I was depressed and about to kill myself. But then I discovered Groove Life™. The first time I put them on, I felt a spiritual presence enter my heart. This presence whispered “Make sure you tell your friends and family that Groove Life™ are now 15% off when purchased with Kohl’s Cash” and I have never felt the same since.

For me it's Darn Tough socks. Though, it may not have been an ad and just something someone really liked.

Just to provide some balance, both of the pairs of Darn Tough socks I bought last month already have a hole in the same spot. Either my right pinky toe is secretly a knife, or these aren't as darn tough as they say

Darn.

Mine have lasted years. Maybe their quality has gone down. Or maybe you're Edward Scissorfeet out something.

I'm assuming it's a bad batch or something. Gonna give it another month or so before I cash in on that warranty

$65 and not even leather? But it's actually a good belt?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Leather belts falling apart all the time is why I even was wanting to try a different kind of belt in the first place.

lol you're just buying shitty belts, try and buy some full grain belts from someone who makes them
