I came out with my new pair of work boots and socks to boot, pardon the pun.

When it comes to work boots and sunglasses I am real fussy about what I purchase mainly because I need boots that are made for walking and that's the majority of what I do at work. So for something I spend 8 hours a day, five days a week, 48 weeks of the year in, I need them to be comfortable and reliable and hard wearing. I will walk 500 miles and I need them to last and then I would like to walk 500 more and for them to still be in good condition.

I seem to be a bit sensitive to the sunlight so I wear sunglasses a lot so they also need to be chosen with care, they need to fit snugly on my nose so they don't fall when I work because I am a bit of a working class man but they can't be too tight around my head or I will get a headache.

Anyway my question is are you this fussy when purchasing items, clothes, perishables etc?

What and why?
