Yeah I’m pretty much in the same boat. I just go online now for all my shoes. In the before times when I had to go in person it sucked, they’d have my size in like one or two shoes, there was no picking at all. But online there’s a waaaay bigger selection obviously. Sucks that you can’t try stuff on but once you get familiar with brands they all kinda for similar enough
There’s lots and lots and lots of examples of tariffs flopping tho. They have their place for sure I’d say but typically you end up with crappier products for a higher price. And that’s not even counting corollary effects like reciprocal tariffs or straining international relationships (which, surprise surprise, we’ve already seen both of and we haven’t even really started yet lol)
