So QASA came by a couple weeks ago and my previous board got really dirty.
I made a new signal board using a multiplication board (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ZAKHHM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I made the individual squares and printed them on an 8.5x11" label, cut them into the size of the squares, and stuck them on. I used a top coat nail polish so that the stickers won't smudge while near the espresso machines.
To signal, all you need to do is press the button to make them pop out and when it's retrieved, you can just push them back in. A really quick and simple way to get most or all of the things around the store that's high in demand! I hope that this one lasts a little bit longer than the previous one.
Edit: My first gold! :o thank you so much! I hope that I can share more ideas that will help your guys' store as well!
It's a little bit of a mixed bag. It's true that food increases total sales volume, but food has lower profit margins than beverage. It's a pretty complex dynamic to get right, and Starbucks is still tinkering with it. https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/05/01/starbucks-food-strategy-has-some-drawbacks.aspx
https://wallmine.com/people/21938/kevin-r-johnson.amp Kevin Johnson definitely doesn't care what you think, he just cashed out BIG TIME in April of this year right when all the most recent struggles began with all the store resources being impossible to find anywhere.
I'm sort of a coffee snob outside of being a Starbucks employee, the enthusiast in me can't recommend a system like this. I'm not sure how cheap it would be but it isn't really anything special. If you really want an easy pour over system and have it be just like we do iced coffee in the store (double strength and weakened with ice, its not terrible but honestly not good) then go with this but if not you should research cold brew.
The pour over double strength method is used by us in the store for consistency and volume, we can make a large amount of coffee quickly and it'll be the same every time. it just doesn't make very good tasting coffee because brewing double strength makes it kinda sour and bitter and doesn't properly bring out the flavors of the coffee.
If you are still reading this far then you're interested in an alternative: I say get him a French press and a cold brew recipe!! You may be able to get the one we sell for a good deal, if not tpyou can find good ones on amazon for around $20, I personally have this and I love it but you cpwould do with anything else on amazon with good reviews if you prefer a simpler design.
Cold brew takes longer (it has to sit for at least 12 hours) but it makes a freaking delicious iced coffee. If you really want to impress your boyfriend, mark out a bag of Ethiopian or Guatemala Antigua and grind it for French press then make him a batch of cold brew - its really easy, just measure out the coffee and use twice as much as the bag recommends, fill the rest of the press with cold water and leave it in the fridge overnight or for at least 12 hours. This method brings out a lot of the fruity and chocolaty flavors of the coffees and makes a delicious and strong but light cup of iced coffee.
You can find lots of recipes online if you want to get more specific with proportions or brewing styles too!
It can be used in this context http://www.dictionary.com/browse/cue "a prescribed or necessary course of action." Although I'd never use it like that. I'd only really ever use it as in snooker cue or cue actor to come on stage.

two words: SPIN. PINS. They’re GAME CHANGING. I have a lot of very thick, long hair, and I do not get hairpin headaches with spin pins. Surprisingly too, one pin does it well, while two makes it the most solid bun ever. You could also braid and then make a bun of that with the pins.

I just went ahead and linked the one I use :)

She can buy her own WC canister. 🤣
I'm not really sure if it's only my store, but we have stickers on the top of the cold bar that tell us how many pumps and each step. After a couple of shifts, i've been ignoring them. Also, my store has different pump heads that are specifically made for cold bar, which are labeled as such on top.
Specifically for Fraps, I can say that most things that go in it are the same amount. What I mean is how many pumps of the frap roast, syrup, base, and scoops are all the same depending on size. Except smoothies.
Tall: 2 Pumps of frap roast, milk to bottom line, into blender, ice scoop, 2 pumps of syrup and/or 2 scoops of ingredient, 2 pumps base, into blender it goes.
Grande: 3 Pumps of frap roast, milk to bottom line, into blender, ice scoop, 3 pumps of syrup and/or 3 scoops of ingredient, 3 pumps base, into blender it goes.
Venti: 4 Pumps of frap roast, milk to bottom line, into blender, ice scoop, 4 pumps of syrup and/or 4 scoops of ingredient, 4 pumps base, into blender it goes.
The ice scoops are different, the smallest is for smoothies, then the second one is for tall, third is for grande, and the largest is for venti.
A tip would be to go onto http://www.studyblue.com and look up Starbucks. Most will be flashcards that give you the recipe cards that you are currently making, as well as other information you would want to know as being a barista.
Also, just ask some people around you if you are unsure. It's better to ask than to mess up a drink.
Good luck!
We don't get a choice about people coming in with guns blazing because they read on the twitters that we're giving out free copies of The Autobiography of Malcolm X with every latte.
Also a giant stack of newspaper insert deelies materialized on the handoff plane today. Pretty sure none of us had a choice about that either.

Hi! I'm not a partner, but I am a lifelong union/labor activist and supporter, and I'm so excited to see that the BC store has organized, especially with USW, which is a great union and one that I'm very familiar with.
You're going to get a ton of naysayers, and that's normal, but it's important for you to keep up the fight, arm yourself with knowledge, and never lose sight of the goal. Companies like Starbucks are going to make it extremely difficult, but as a personal hero of mine in the labor movement very simply puts it, "once you give up, it's over."
Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind is that unions can never be written off with blanket statements. If the leadership of the local union act in bad faith, then it will have a negative impact on the workers, but the same goes for Starbucks corporate "leadership" who act in bad faith, and the difference is that the union gives you an election to vote out bad union leadership. Corruption happens when bad people are given the reigns, but by and large, when workers stick their necks out for each other the way you have to when building a union, it creates kinship and empathy between the members, even if people disagree sometimes.
All in all, what you're talking about is workplace democracy, and judging from what I see in this subreddit every day, Starbucks employees have their voices quashed and their concerns swept aside every day.
I'm not sure if you've heard of Jane McAlevey, but she's writes excellent books on how best to organize and what differentiates different unions. I personally recommend "No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age." https://www.amazon.com/No-Shortcuts-Organizing-Power-Gilded/dp/019062471X
Good luck to you!

Even better: cut down on plastic waste by getting a reusable, vacuum insulated flask like this and fill it with purified water from your fridge in the morning. It honestly blew my mind when I finished an entire shift with that thing sitting in the cup holder of my car, baking in the summer heat, and the water was still a little cool.

As an added bonus, you won't cause your baristas extra work that corporate doesn't think is labour! :D
It appears as if though CalOptima is garnered towards low-income families. This is likely what disqualified you from being on their insurance.
Otherwise, under age 26 can file for taxes and still be eligible to be on their parents insurance. I was on my mother's BCBS for years until I turned 26 and I was working salaried for quite some time.

I’m not typically a fan of Huffington but this article and a search of “StarBucks labor union” will show union organizers being fired, unions being silenced, etc.
I get that it might seem silly to have a union for StarBucks, however collective bargaining power is important. FBI probably coming after me for even talking about unions lol
Don't most chains do that though? And food products in general? There's all sorts of weird shit in everything and the bux is no exception.
If you have that many food intolerances, pick things you absolutely know the ingredients for that are made with simple ingredients (latte, americano, the basic drinks). Or choose a cafe that specializes in food allergies. Because where do you draw the line? Here are the most common allergies, responsible for 90% of reactions. It is peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, milk, eggs, soy, and wheat.
Customers are aware of all of those. IMO, if you have one of the other allergies, you're looking at such a small percentage of reactions that it's the onus of the allergic person to do their own research and be careful. Because it's impossible to account for everything.
Headspace is an online service that offers guided mindfulness sessions aimed at helping you focus on the present, pulling you away from anxiety and other stresses we feel everyday. It's actually pretty cool based on the two months that I tried out.
You can find out more about them on their website herehere. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can download their app herehere. Don't have the link for their Android app but I'm pretty sure you can find it on their website or if you Google it. :)

Change your passwords if that password is reused elsewhere. You'll also want to have more secure passwords for other accounts that are using garbage passwords.

But again, the problem here is using a bad password.
Use alphanumeric w/ upper/lowercase and symbols that are 16 characters long (as this is usually the best length for "strongest."). Try to avoid ambiguous characters (<, >, ;, \, /, [, ], to name a handful) as those are typically not allowed. Also avoid dictionary words, personal information, etc.
I've used this one for over a year and half now. I only drink one (large) cup a day so it makes me about 4 days or so worth typically.

You're welcome! These are the ones I got: New Balance Slip-Resistant 626 V2 Industrial Shoe.
They run $85 on Amazon but it's been a really good investment especially since they're sturdy, supportive (although I do have my own insoles), and they don't fall apart like cheaper shoes I've gotten for work. If you can afford it, spend a little higher to get better quality shoes.

I believe it's the New Dell Chromebook 13 (7310) (Link, Amazon Link). They used to cost $429 USD for the same configuration Starbucks stores have, they don't seem to sell it anymore.
You can get cold brew makers on amazon. I have the Takaya (?) one and I like it a lot. The instructions come with the container. I believe it’s 8 tablespoons per full container.
I’d recommend against doing it with blonde espresso. I’d think it would be a lot more acidic as a cold brew. Of what we have right now I’d recommend the Guatemala Antigua! If you don’t like it there’s always a mark out next week. :)
Edit: This is the one I have!
I'm a super nerd who does all sorts of table top gaming. I've gotten Commissions to paint people's miniature armies, like these (not my work,just an example).

Life got really shitty so right now I don't really have any hopes or dreams. I'm just struggling to stay afloat.
According to this article "nearly a third" of Starbucks payments in the US and Canada are made using a Starbucks card: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-almost-no-one-does-gift-cards-like-starbucks-2015-12-23
http://www.geekwire.com/2014/starbucks-cancels-thousands-gold-accounts-birthday-issue/
I don't know how legit this article is, but it's the only information I could find outside of reddit. It does appear to be a legitimate thing, rather than a scam.
"But it appears that a majority of today’s cancelations are related to the age requirement of customers who are clearly at least 13 years old. Hutson said Starbucks can’t discuss individual customer accounts. He did note that those who have had an account de-activated will have their account balance refunded in the form of an e-gift, and if they are a “Gold” member, they can contact customer service to receive their status again."
This sounds awesome, and there should definitely be an app, because that's where it's most useful.
Until the app comes, if your store isn't using groupme to communicate, suggest it to your SM. It's free, and sweet.
Most districts already have their managers communicating on it, but there's no reason not to create a store-wide and also store-shift/management group for communication.
Phone-photos of schedules can be posted to the main group so that anyone with a smart phone can check their schedule, shift-covering can be asked for within the store, any other pertinent data can be shared, props can be given publically, etc, etc.
It's an amazing tool and until this partner hub comes into its own, no reason every store shouldn't be using groupme or some other free equivalent if it exists.
Chai is my favorite drink but I like to make it at home definitely. The BH one is just all sugar if you ever come across Bhakati chai concentrate I would urge you to try it out with some oat milk or whatever your preference is. It’s sweet and has a nice spicy authentic flavor and it’s much cheaper than constantly buying from SB.

You don’t have to directly get it from Amazon I was just providing the link so you can see the product but it’s cheaper in stores where I am (CA) it’s about $9.99 per bottle. If you must get it from SB though I would suggest chai with oat milk and light ice, nothing worse than an expensive watered down drink lol
Anything similar to this pack from Amazon. It let's the smallest granules of coffee slip into the brew combined with the turkish grind make it more potent and textured, I think at least. It's the way they used to make it at the coffee shop I worked at before Starbucks.
Same at my store! I hate the face shields so I bought these little side shields you can put on your glasses and my SM said they were fine! Here’s the link if you’re interested at all : https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08L3R5JVL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_dl_80Q12MEX5VZTH125GDS2
joshua weissman made a video on doing fraps at home. besides the basic ingredients most people need (coffee, milk, flavor syrup), you also want a good emulsifier. JW uses xanthan gum paste, which is present in the creme base and is a big part of what contributes to the smoothness. it's really cheap to buy, can be stored dry, and is vegan if you're into that.
Hey, they updated this last week. We now have approved alternatives for caramel sauce and vanilla syrup. The approved caramel is:
So, at home espresso makers range widely in price and quality starting at around 50 bucks for a Mr. Coffee brand espresso machine, up to around 2 grand for one by Rocket Espresso. This is one I've used for a good 5 years at home without a problem, and it has a steamer wand. As long as you don't mind shelling out the little extra money it'll pay for itself pretty shortly if you're a regular latte drinker.
I wear those too!! Well, a similar pair. It’s my third pair of sketchers I’ve had for work, swear by them.
I normally use these for color, but for this board I just bought a bunch of the cheap Michaels brand chalk markers (I think they’re just called bistro markers) in white in various sizes.
I found this, the blendtec version aerator on amazon seems like the same concept though, with the disk. Everyone talking about what a pain in the ass cold foam is on EVERY DRINK made me realize I should just make my own. All this talk about different foams sound so good but I haven’t been to a Starbucks in almost a year because I don’t want to make anymore work for anyone. I’m excited for the possibilities!!
I got a cold brewer off amazon, a big glass jar with a filter compartment that sits in it. All I have to do is fill the jar to the top line with filtered water, put 80g of coffee in the filter, drop it in to the jar and pour more water through the coffee till it's full. Stick in the fridge for 16 hours, dump the grounds, and I've got cold brew. I used a lined venti cup to measure to the second line, fill to third with cream, top with ice. Delicious.

Depending on how badly you want Christmas Blend, you could get it through Amazon.
If you're not sure, you can always go your local starbucks and get a pour-over of the flavor you're interested in. Some stores will be nice and make samples for you to taste, but that varies. A small pour-over is only 2 bucks (unless that price increase changes that today).
Aside from eBay, you could probably just buy a plain green apron. I just looked on Amazon and here's one for pretty cheap, and it has a "buy together" option with a starbucks patch, hahaha. It would probably end up being cheaper to do that than to actually find one on eBay.
There are also a handful of listings on Etsy. If you're curious, this is a MMO/World of Warcraft joke, so I would just Google MMO Epic Mug or World of Warcraft Epic Mug
Amazon! It’s honestly probs my favorite one lol. Although my lil coffee beans are a close second!
Edit: I found it again! If u look up “coffee enamel pin” on amazon there’s a bunch of fun things. If u scroll down a bit tho u can find the coffee plant one and the little 4-pack of beans. But here’s the link to the plant one lol.
i just use sneakers and put nonslip covers over them. it’s a brand called SR Max. they work really good, i just have to wipe them down every once in a while.
Take the non-Starbucks route. No apron, but you'll know a lot more. These two books should do the trick.

So, other commenters have brought up Walmart- my local Walmart sucks and all their shoes (literally all) were dirty, scuffed up, etc. - I SO was not paying for them.
I purchased these (Safetstep brand) from Amazon for $30 and they're still going quite strong a couple months later. Comfortable enough to get you through a 7-ish hour shift, and they're very easy to clean off with a damp towel, and nonslip, so great for a workplace prone to spills & slippery floors.
I got mine from amazon and I love them. There a little pricey but there super slip resistant and very comfortable. 100% recommend and they’re really worth the money I’ll attach the link. Hope this helps🙂 link
I bought the yellow bag on Amazon because I'm obsessed with bright colours, but I customized it myself! I LOVE SPIKES!
You actually can get it on amazon. Shady as fuck, but it’s there. Super expensive and probably expired. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Yes! There are strawless lids sold separately from the cups that fit right onto the reusable grande and venti iced cups :) and they should be available in-store! (at least we have them in mine!)

OMG! Who sold you this thing? That's not even funny!
You should definitely ask for a refund. Just look for the customer support section on their website. Once, they sold me a cracked glass with pictures of London, which I bought there as a souvenir. I was so disappointed when I saw it was cracked, and I couldn't use it. I just contacted their customer support and took a broken glass picture. They didn't even ask for a receipt. I guess because they easily recognized their item, which was coming from a limited edition campaign. They just asked me to dispose of it carefully so that I don't injure myself, and send me a new one straight away. But, I guess the refund option is also possible.
But, I wouldn't suggest you buy a French press at Starbucks. That's my personal opinion, but I think they are low quality. Instead, you can get this one — https://www.amazon.com/French-Double-Wall-Stainless-Mirror-Finish/dp/B00MMQOZ1U. I've got it quite some time ago, and I really like it!
I don't know what chai they have in canada Starbucks stores or what chai is available in canada, but I don't even like Starbucks chai that much. And an iced chai with soy milk is about as easy to make at home as it gets! And yes would be much much much cheaper. For my money, the best pre-made chai concentrate is Oregon brand.
https://www.amazon.com/Oregon-Chai-Concentrate-Original-32-Ounce/dp/B003Q4TPAI
I don't know what's available where you are, but I suggest trying it if you can! I really think it's superior to Starbucks. You can really taste the spices, and it's a nice blend of them. And honestly it's probably cheaper (due to the expense of quality spices and tea) and a lot less effort than making chai concentrate from scratch, though that could be fun to experiment with as well!
My coworkers have literally never seen my face in a year of working. I'm the only one who still masks at my store and also the only one who has been spared from every covid outbreak. It got so bad during the first omicron wave that we had to shut down for a bit because there weren't enough people to work. I wear these guys with the official black starbucks cloth mask over them and they're comfy and seal perfectly on my face.
i steeped it for a little over 8 hours
here is the brewer. im more of a measure with your heart kinda person so i fill the filter up. it seems to be about 8 tablespoons. i fill the pitcher with water considering the volume that the filter will add, and once i remove the filter im left with about 4 cups of coffee.
the coffee i use is store bought and preground. do you have a brand that you know is better for cold brewing? i just used what i had at the moment.
i do plan to buy some vanilla syrup for it as well.
​
i would love to hear how you would make a pitcher of cold brew? i have a scale so what ratios do you enjoy or recommend?
the exact listing isn’t available anymore but I found something sort of similar! https://www.amazon.com/HGGE-Ponytail-Baseball-Adjustable-Ponycap/dp/B093WHKKGY/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?crid=2HXG9RCJVJHWV&keywords=ponytail+hat&qid=1656032193&sprefix=pony%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-5
I don't wanna look judgemental. It's actually parents' decision to give their kids coffee or not. But, I'm totally against giving caffeine to children. Especially 7 years old. It's just kiddo. How come they became all grown up now to drink coffee at Starbucks? Caffeine is highly addictive, and kids have a low tolerance for it. I dunno what those parents are thinking.
Besides, Starbucks' coffee is usually way too strong. Whenever I have a tall latte, I can't sleep at night. That's why I usually brew my own coffee. I recently bought this french press — https://www.amazon.com/French-Double-Wall-Stainless-Mirror-Finish/dp/B00MMQOZ1U. It allows me to brew a delightful and less intense coffee.
Another trend that I don't get is how come doctors allow pregnant ladies to drink coffee? I always see them at coffee places ordering coffee that is definitely not decaf. It's not my business, but isn't coffee harmful to their babies?

https://www.tazo.com/us/en/products/tea-bags/iced-passion.html
This tasted the same to me and is the brand Starbucks use to use.
I would brew it with half the recommended water. Should be half lemonade, half passion tea. Shake with ice. If he likes sweetener, make a simple syrup using sugar in the raw. They also sell individual tea bags, but I could never figure out the bad ratio. Still a little week with 2 bags, but three was too strong.
They also have a concentrate, but I've never tried it.
My high school put all of the typical motivational posters around the school during my senior year. As a senior prank my class ended up replacing them with demotivational posters. Here’s a link to similar ones. Demotivational Posters (13 x 19 in, 20 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1789789095/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6Z9GF6Z8RP2KT8115CB8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Oh! Lame. I'll stop trying to be fancy. Here: Ponyflo Satin Lined Cap - Satin Lined Hat to Protect Hair from Breakage and Frizz https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B083ZJ87FT/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_WT20T3DDHGFER4XJG7Q8
We don't require hats at my store, but sounds like you should go for a satin-lined hat. I know you can get beanies, and I think I've seen baseball caps with satin lining now too.
Something like this?
The easiest way is with one of those egg frying rings. You just put it on a flat top griddle or large frying pan and crack the egg inside it. Then just let it heat up till doneness you want:

I bought my nonslips from Shoes for Crews for years and they had vans style non slips and converse style. The prices are at ~$55
For cheaper vans-style non slips, can also do an Amazon search; I found these Lugz for $24 on Amazon
tbh, i typically just wear jeans and a t-shirt and feel alright. target has pretty cute/flattering basic t-shirts in solid colors that i recommend. coffee gear shirts are pretty cute too! if it’s too hot for jeans, i have this skirt from amazon that is SO comfortable and long enough to be in dress code.
i tried wearing my longest pair of shorts once and got in trouble for them being too short sooooo i gave up on shorts.
You can get sweetened (or unsweetened if you’re trying to cut down on sugar) matcha powders online online, tea/specialty stores, grocery stores, and sometimes at TJ Max/Ross/Homegoods/etc.
Just get a shaker, add the desired amount of milk (12 oz tall size/16 oz grande size/24 oz [iced venti, hot isn’t as much]), 2/3/4 teaspoons of matcha powder, and shake with ~3/4/1 cup/1+1/4 cup of ice. Those are just some recommendations for estimated amounts, you can play around to find the ratio you like. Often matcha or other powders foam up when you shake them cold, just a heads up.
If you find you want it sweeter you can make an easy simple syrup at home/buy some, or add honey, some people like brown sugar syrups, etc. example of people trying to recreate a similar idea
Here’s the commercial model
But if your brewing at home they also make a home model but I prefer this one.
Yo the brand starbucks uses for white mocha is fontana. I'll link it here so you can buy it.

What state are you in? Depending on how your state responded to the Medicaid expansion, there's a chance you'd be eligible for heavily discounted (or, depending on your general living situation, free) insurance through your state health insurance exchange. If you live in a holdout state like I do (Florida), however, you'll have to go with COBRA (which, depending on the total cost of your insurance policy before employer contribution, could be stupid high), lower the policy through the same provider (and/or remove others from your policy if you're covering family members, which is a tough option to weigh, or dropping additional benefits that you may have had like dental or vision), or go through the federal insurance exchange and apply for a policy there (open enrollment is over for the year, but losing job-based coverage qualifies you for a Special Enrollment Period.
Just keep in mind that good health insurance will probably cause a bit of sticker shock after having it through an employer as comprehensive coverage can have a significant premium, though there's always a chance you'll also be eligible for a tax credit that covers most or even all the costs. (And again, there's also the likely-superior state option if yours opted in for the Medicaid expansion.)
Edit: Meant Medicaid in the first mention, not Medicare.
And now you can print them out and play in your store!

Also... genuinely... thank you for making me more aware of my own actions as a customer. I strive to be a good one, but I can definitely see a bit of my own behavior here ("is this my drink" [I apparently forgot how to read that time], "can I get uhhhhh" [I straight up forgot what it was I wanted], mobile order to wrong store [multiple. fucking. times.], excessive staring [TBF, watching how the drinks are made is fascinating]). So thanks
i found these on amazon! dragon fruit
Right... do you know when? Fancy having a Starbucks branded machine with no pods for it.
The beans last a week once grinder so thats no good. I could get a bean to cup and then try that...
But the machine and pods look much easier surely...
Tried these in my moms nespresso machine.. they didn't work - !!!
I don’t think the shape is the critical piece of information though? A lot of basic coffee brewers use paper filters where the filter can be interpreted as flat (such as the ones we use). But metal filters can be conical such as this one the Kurig refillable pods are metal filters.

Hear me out. Barefoot (or minimalist) shoes. No, not the TOE kind. There are so many kinds of barefoot shoes now. They're so much better for your feet. More and more support just makes your feet weaker, and can cause more problems in the long run. Just like with any muscle in your body, if you strengthen your feet muscles, they will perform better for you. Barefoot shoes also tend to have a wider toe box so there's more room for your feet. They're actually... Foot shaped. It's wild. Lol I killed my feet when I was working two jobs and going to school, without a car. I was on my feet 18+ hours a day 4 days a week, 14-16 hours 2 days a week and 10+ 1 day a week. Went somewhere like 180 something days without an actual day off. My feet were WRECKED. I finally switched to barefoot shoes and let me tell you... The first day I got home a nearly CRIED because I realized I didn't have to think about my feet all day. It was insane. I will preach about them to anyone who will listen. One of my coworkers (who also doesn't happen to drive) is now also wearing them and agrees that they're great, and they're her go-to work shoes now too.
These are my Go-To shoes. They're VERY reasonably priced, and hold up very well to the abuse I put my feet though. https://www.amazon.com/WHITIN-Minimalist-Barefoot-Sneakers-Upgraded/dp/B09G5N6RLK
