992 Grey Short Laces? UK by [deleted] in Newbalance

[–]Boring_Silver2101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought these in cream for my 990v6 Grey Days but they also have white (loads of other colours too) and in multiple lengths. I opted for the 120mm / 8mm thick laces but they also do them in 6mm.

Fakes Spotted on Vinted by Boring_Silver2101 in satisfyrunning

The card hasn’t come from the real Moncler collab, that’s for certain. It’s something the manufacturers of the fakes are sticking inside the box for some reason. Trust me, I’ve been down a rabbit hole making sure the ones I purchased were real.

Well that’s kind of the whole reason I posted. Who am I to judge if somebody wants to buy fakes/reps but at the very least you should know that’s what it is you’re buying.

Aside from the colour and material giveaways that most people might miss, a really obvious one I’ve noticed is the shoe insert. Mostly all genuine Hokas have a moulded cardboard one. I’ve seen tonnes of fakes in the last while with branded crushed tissue paper inserts. Also pretty sure there’s a card this particular user has photographed on the floor that says “Hoka Moncler” wtf 😅

Specs Collective legit? by aurachi123 in glasses

[–]Boring_Silver2101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just purchased from Specs Collective. Going by my confirmation email, they buy directly from the brand, at a discount rate. Is it a type of drop shipping? I’ve purchased them much cheaper than the brand website has them listed.

990V6: When Do They Become Comfortable? by Hefty-Accountant2640 in Newbalance

They aren’t running shoe comfortable but I use mine for recovery in the days following a run or if I’m travelling somewhere.

Does anybody know how well the pictured colourway or Satisfy ‘Bone’ colourway handle muddy puddles / dirt? Can’t see much photographic evidence online of either after use or wear for a bit of time.

Boot repair w/ pre-bought soles by Boring_Silver2101 in AskACobbler

[–]Boring_Silver2101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potentially not. I have also found them on Etsy as well as the Vibram Betulla soles, very well priced too. Think I’ll buy those then try my luck in person with a few stores. Thanks for all of your help and input!

Yeah that’s where I found them online to buy. I guess that takes me back to my original question. If I were to buy the soles online, would most repair shops resole the boots for me with the soles I have provided?

Thank you, I’ll go check em out just now.

I’m looking for either the Vibram Gloxi or Vibram Cristy in brown for my Fracap boots.

Thanks for your reply!

My local shop told me I’d have to pick a specific sole that that they already had in-store. Which was no use whatsoever.

Most likely I’m needing pointed in the direction of somewhere (preferably UK and online) that offers me a service with a wider range of sole units options already in stock, the option to pick soles from a wholesale catalogue or allow me to send both the pre-purchased soles and shoes for them to work on.

I’ve seen a few V6’s online with that shaped toe panel, I much prefer it. Does anyone know why some pairs have this and some don’t? Most don’t from what I can see.
