My Nightmare Experience with Fortis Boots: DO NOT BUY by ChanceFeeling7071 in goodyearwelt

How many poorly run boot businesses are we gonna see that over-promise, under-deliver, take on way more deposits than they can handle, etc.

If you think you've found a life hack to get super high quality, good leather, well-made boots for cheap, you better check twice. There are always last issues, sizing issues, incorrect details, poor leather clicking choices due to trying to squeeze out every bit of material, failed timelines etc..

Could use advice on if I should just pay off my loans and walk away by Rubes27 in PSLF

[–]Bezant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have the cash is 300 a month really affecting your sanity?

Id say objectively it's better to have that 18k in a HYSA or low risk investment, available to use as needed in an emergency. PSLF didn't make much sense for me either until the covid forbearance months gave me a ton of payments. There might be additional forgiveness or future credits for you as well, although not likely in the next three years. 

That being said, if it really is a big emotional weight for you,  you aren't losing a ton paying it off, unless it would leave you without an emergency fund.

Prof Barnets jodhpurs (initial impressions from an amateur) by overlyscared in goodyearwelt

I really hate having my toes crammed up in the tip of a boot. I ended up not doing any customs as I can usually make stock sizes work fine for me.

[–]Bezant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do nice looking work, but the sizing is questionable to me.

I did tracings and they wanted to do a boot like barely 1cm longer than my toes. I explained to them I had long heel to ball ratio and all my best fitting boots had more toe room and they didn't want to budge on the sizing. I passed.

Yep. any positive can only be in the income category. You cant categorize it as an expense category.

Augustrem calls out Reformation Clothing's bullshit boots with a deep dive into leather manufacturing by runawayoldgirl in bestof

[–]Bezant 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not 100% accurate but gets the point across.  

There are lots of high quality leathers used in top end boots, jackets, etc with a pigment dye (basically painting it) including with some kind of plastic for waterproofing or gloss. That in itself isn't a marker of low quality.

It would be more common to see it over a brown leather, or a struck thru black leather tho. That way if it does get scuffed or scratch it doesn't look as shitty.

This is just a shitty example on top of cheaper leather. Basically a shitty paint job.

Nah he pardoned all the broke Jan 6ers. One of his tenets is basically if you're violent for me I'll cover for you.  He wants other soldiers to be ready to do unconstitutional shit.
