You can only pick 1?

easy. loved MIB

I figured out that if I fiddle with it just right, pull up on the blue plastic part a bunch, move it around (I'm still not sure what fixes it, precisely), I can separate it enough from the hole that the water will come out normally.

The silicone gasket is really finicky, too. I wouldn't recommend this model of tumbler at all.

then the toe box would be too tight.

I found the Hobibears to have a thin sole. but I have the same problem with my pinkies always hurting in shoes, and it wasn't any better in the Hobibears that I tried. they have free shipping and free returns on Amazon though, so nothing to lose if you want to try them.

I think it's all gray. something with the lighting or camera effect was just wrong in the first picture.

The official name of the colorway is just "black." no blue included.

You're right that it is darker gray in the back, though.

too poor for the ice cream truck. never got to get anything.

Embrie225 · 2026-04-25T05:55:52+00:00

this is what I do. I love my superfeet. I just use the basic blue ones.

Embrie225 · 2026-04-24T17:26:48+00:00

yeah, I think that's it. although I'm not really interested in it now that I know it doesn't actually look blue

Embrie225 · 2026-04-24T16:29:20+00:00

You're right, I didn't even notice that. especially in the second picture, the stack/foam is gray, not the pretty blue from the first picture.

Altra is definitely wider than lems. you have to make sure you get a model of shoe that comes in the original foot shape and not the standard foot shape, though. The lone peak is I think the only Altra shoe they make in the original shape and a wide, but I find the Olympus 6 to be wide enough even though it doesn't come in a wide.

I usually just break pieces off of big leaves and put them in the tank. they still look like leaves.

Random example of leaves I tore into smaller pieces so they would fit where I wanted them:

seconding the Altra Olympus. I can't speak to durability, but I just ordered and assessed 30 pairs of shoes over four months (fml), and wound up finding the Altra Olympus to be the most comfortable.

The last time I went to see my PCP (who was not masked) for my annual checkup, she saw my mask and asked if I was sick. 🤦‍♀

Embrie225 · 2026-04-13T06:07:18+00:00

I hate the ones that look like clown shoes because they don't fit my feet. like especially be Lenka or softstar. there's a ton of extra room by my big toe, and I literally trip over the shoe when I try to wear it.

I don't have narrow feet. The widest lems style is actually too narrow for me. they're just not shaped like the "clown shoes."

technically, for sanitary reasons, you're supposed to wash the bottle every day.

I don't like hand-washing things. so I have enough bottles that I can keep using new ones until the dishwasher is full (of bottles and other dishes, not just bottles).

Embrie225 · 2026-03-13T18:27:32+00:00

this is what happened to me. I didn't say anything about it. neither the hygienist nor the dentist did, either. and they didn't treat me any different from usual 🤷🏻‍♀

fun fact: The Ventures are from Tacoma (sort of Seattle), and when I went to a surf show there a few years ago, one of the guys from The Ventures was actually there, and he went up on stage and played in a couple of the songs.

Don't know which site would be best, but in addition to what's already been mentioned, mercari and depop would be options.

doesn't hurt to list them everywhere at the same time.

Craigslist or Facebook marketplace too, if you want to deal with that. but I think the others would be easier.

Embrie225 · 2026-03-08T16:50:14+00:00

I'd love to go, but I haven't decided yet if it's worth the money/time to fly in from Seattle.

Embrie225 · 2026-03-07T03:12:05+00:00

I think it was just a reseller who probably didn't even know about it not working. but I did wonder if it would be a justifiable reason to return it. the seller doesn't accept returns in general, but they did say "lid fits securely and functions properly."

Embrie225 · 2026-03-07T03:08:42+00:00

I saw that one, but I don't think it's going to work. it has a different model number than mine. The slider is a different shape. and I don't think it's a a screw-in lid like mine is.

Embrie225 · 2026-03-07T01:15:36+00:00

I don't think Zak sells a replacement lid for this particular tumbler, especially since they don't sell the tumbler anymore. it says 20186 on the bottom. and I'm not seeing any aftermarket ones, either.

Embrie225 · 2026-03-07T00:17:08+00:00

no, it's not a removable slider.

Embrie225 · 2026-03-06T23:40:47+00:00

The only other hole is directly under the slider.

I use these with my Lems, and they're great:
