My Heavy Foot began as a personal quest to find clothing that genuinely lasts and respects the environment. Over time, I became increasingly frustrated with the poor quality and workmanship of modern clothing, and I decided enough was enough.
This site is where I share my findings, using data and evidence to assess the quality and longevity of clothing, footwear, and other products.
For years, people have joked that I should have been a product tester because of my uncanny ability to wear through clothes. So I decided to embrace it. My view is simple, if I can find clothing, footwear, and everyday products that hold up to my hard use, then that is useful information worth sharing.
My record for destroying a pair of socks is one wear and one wash. On the other hand, a pair made by UK brand Socko who use recycled fishing nets lasted around four months, which is a personal record.
Join me on the journey as I test what really lasts.
