Free: Worn Vivo shoes 9 (Edgewater) woman’s 9-10 (euro 40). these have been well worn and the sole is now very thin. could be interesting if you want to try out barefoot shoes, wear around the garden, or as a fixer upper. the shape makes it hard for a “regular” cobbler to work on, although not impossible. Vivo takes them back to get resoled but charges 120. not worth it for me as I don’t love the fit. Leather upper is still quite nice (could use a waxing) and smells like… leather haha! you could also use the leather to craft something else. I don’t have the tools or the time. Vivo ultimately also takes them back to get recycled (no charge). cheers and stay green!

Request: glass blender barrel only (Edgewater) Hi, I’m looking to replace my thin plastic blender (the jug part) with a glass or borosilicate equivalent. The brand is Hamilton Beach so it is common. I know sometimes the motor breaks and you end up with just the top and no use for it, I’m looking for that! The diameter at the base is 4 inches and 13 1/16. Thank you!
