    How is the sizing? What size are you and what size did you order?

    @@PilgrimInProgress I'm 29.5 cm. Their chart has that as 47. These are 48. I specifically wanted more room as I wear thick wool socks a lot in the winter. I've since orderd 2 more pairs (videos coming on those) that I ordered in 47. They fit true to size. So I'd say measure and use the size chart they give. They are snug putting on (slipping in) in the instep but that's mostly just my foot. Even that wears in with break-in as these aren't anymore. Hope that helps. I'd say they are kind of between a D and E in width.

    I would love to see a year update video. I just ordered a pair similar to your other ones and I’m very excited to give them a little character. I’m crossing my fingers that they have some quality because the price is unbeatable.

    @ChoiceEnvironments Well I'll tell you this. Hers...they look practically brand new. She's a woman who loves different shoes and while these have been worn a number of times it is so sporadically that any differences probably won't show up on video. I know this because I took a look at hers the other day. I actually changed out my studs in the other ones the other day as I never liked them as "speed studs", they worked fine but lacing them they'd sometimes fall off if being absent minded. Just a small hassle I switched for speed loops as I'd call them. (Like speed hooks but enclosed and laces flow through them). Seems like from pictures they switched to regular speed hooks but I'm sure it is the whim of the maker. On quality... I've worn the other pair a bunch of times. I'm not an everyday wearer at all but a good amount for minimally 5-6 hours per wear. They are absolutely quality. Still continuing to mold to me in a good way. (Most you hit a wall somewhere along the line and I'm sure these will eventually but wow that leather on the midsole takes time. However they are quality enough I ordered a different pair (sort of like redwing blacksmith) from them and should be here soon. So...no regrets. Enjoy. Would love to hear how yours are.

    @@argosb1543 Just got them in TODAY and they are sooooo much better than I expected! Sure the leather isn’t scented, but it’s thicker than the redwing leather. These are comfy out of the box so I hope they don’t show too much shoddiness later in the break in. They did use half the nails they should’ve in the heel stack but I can do that job myself, plus it seems they’ll hold up. If worse comes to worse, a cobbler it is. This was a phenomenal purchase. One of my favorite purchases in years. I’m just excited to go to the store in these! Well, well worth it. Thanks for the recommendation!

    @@ChoiceEnvironments I was excited to see if you'd write back. The purple pair (L400) or something like that style wise from them was thinner leather but I wasn't unhappy as it was still reasonable and I did order them in a wild color. Glad you like them. I wonder what their aversion to using a few more nails sometimes is. Strange quirk on the heavier ones. My suggestion is get some small nails, drive them in then use something else to punch them in just a little more than just the hammer. Save the trip to the cobbler and the wait. Also if you have the studs and want to change them it isn't hard if you buy a set and it comes with a rod that you do the rivets on a hard surface with. (Fun skills I learned repairing some other stuff of my wife's). Very cool. Glad you like them. I wish RoseAnvil would do a vid on them. The quality to price is unbeatable. Enjoy.

  • @argosb1543
    @argosb1543Ай бұрын

    I'd say the overall shape of the upper is quite similar. Quality is way better though. The midsole and outsole are far better quality. I'd say higher quality than Thursday boots. This particular pair has leather that's a bit thicker than doc martins would use but not as thick as the other pair I have in a video from the same maker. Being able to resole them with a cobbler and the stitching being stronger than any offering from doc martins I'd say they're much better value too. More of a workboot than the doc's....so you won't get that squish of the gel outsole on docs. You can easily toss some insoles (I recommend super feet green as I've loved those for boots and working on concrete)....but anything would add squish. I'm actually wearing the other pair right now (these purple are my wife's) They still have held up great. Can't recommend them enough.

    @argosb15437 ай бұрын

    Like many workbook style boots that are made (redwing whites etc) there's not real much of anything arch wise. Like depending on width of foot maybe some leather will form there when shaping to your foot. My suggestion would be size accordingly to add some insoles if you need major arch support. I know I used to like it working on my feet all day but if I'm up and down more like I am now I don't need as much. Take care hope that helps.

    Just got the T10 yesterday. Manual states to connect to your network by pushing the Reset switch which is hidden behind the vents on the side. You need a paperclip to access the space. We found the Reset switch powers off the device only. Do not do this. Press the two top buttons simultaneously to activate the WiFi search, not the Reset switch. Everything goes as described using this method. It almost was returned to Amazon due to this manual error. This is our second iLife vacuum robot. The V3 is a trooper and motivated us to get the T10.👍

    Hmm I never came upon it mentioning the reset switch for wifi. I saw in initial instructions to use the two top buttons. Maybe they changed something in the instructions from when I received it. Reading your message made me think about how I first set it up and I was like "yeah definitely just the two buttons". The two t10s we have have been awesome we had a v5s, and 2 a4s then 2 different shinebots. The t10s replaced the a4s models in our home. I have to say there's been some quirks here or there but iLife has been great and we love the products.

    I personally don't have any. Granted I buy my books on pc or phone (or aquire them via PC or phone) and then email them to it or just plug in usb to PC and transfer them that way. If new to kindle, seeing as though you seem to want to save money I'd suggest getting something like the new Paperwhite. The Oasis i find to be overkill for my needs. Wife has one. The new Paperwhite does inverted colors (white text black background , and had cool and warm color light. The 4th gen you need an added light like this in video. Granted I do like the physical buttons on the 4th gen. The software seems fine, I know at one point I had updated a tier update so some might not be that are second hand (and you may need to replace battery (not too hard there's videos of how to on KZread)). Bang for buck you may just want to get the new regular kindle. It's a pretty solid device for $99 (I'm sure black friday they will be cheaper). Someone new to kindle though I'd suggest the kindle Paperwhite 11th gen. Hope that helps. Thank you.

    I didn't, without socks I measured just under 29cm (so 28.5 or 28.75). I ordered 48 which on the chart is 30. However they are a little loose. I would say put socks on and measure then take that and use the chart. I specifically ordered them large because I'll wear thick wool socks in the winter with them and I don't like a tight boot. Width they are good to slightly wide...which again I find comfortable. I ordered regular width. I'll be making another video about them as I have figured out a better camera and microphone setup.
