Birkenstocks are the gold standard. Had a pair back in my early 20’a that lasted 10 yrs. Getting a pair for this summer myself.

EDIT: I had what would be considered the classic footbed and this is what I'll be buying again. I can't speak for the soft footbed or extra grip footbed options, but someone else on here may have experience with them, +ymmv.

They're expensive and the lead times can be long but Nicks Handmade Boots is known for having some of the most heavy duty, durable boots you can buy and they go up to FF. I'm not sure but they may even go up to FFFF on custom orders (long leads). My neighbor just bought a pair of Ready-To-Ship 10.5FF Urban Drifters last week and received them within about 4-5 bus days. Good luck.

Hanks Belts. Coronado Leather. I have both, both are Lifetime belts. Coronado has Horween - I bought a color 8 cxl - and Hanks has some of the thickest and nicest belts I’ve ever seen. Although Hanks may be made in Canada now that I think of it, not positive. Coronado is small family owners in Cali.
