I'd overlooked canned cat food and a poop scoop that I'll someday drop
off at the Animal Welfare league.

You know MUCH more than I do about clothes, so I hesitate to post a tip.
But I'll do it anyway.
About hard-to-find clothes: Last year I needed to replace a couple of
cotton seersucker casual shirts. I like that fabric for summer's heat
and humidity.
I seldom even consider buying clothes online, but then I thought about
Kohl's online. Turned out they had a large inventory including my
acceptable shirts, I could order and pay online, then pick up at the
store which is not far away.
Best of all, in my book, I figured I could try the shirts on in the
store before I even walked out the door; so if they didn't fit, the
return would be postage free and instantaneous.
When I picked them up, I asked if I could try them on. The clerk said
"Honey, they're yours! You can do anything you want!"
And they did fit. Heck, I'd be tempted to buy shoes that way!

When I got home, I found the reason. The sole of the shoe is made of
normal rubber with high traction. But they searched far and wide to find
the hardest, lowest friction material available for the cleat cover. I
think it's made of black Teflon.
I hope EPDM rubber can be glued to it.
