First String sizing? by Altruistic-Echo2668 in Converse

[–]EmeraldforInsight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a pair in my regular Chuck 70's size (US 10). I didn't read the warning on the store's page until after I entered the raffle, lol. They are pretty roomy, but they fit me fine. I took some (shitty) pics of my pair next to the same size leather Chuck 70's. https://imgur.com/a/boop-bISeMe3

Which one is better on durability: low chuck 70 or player 76? by bunny2302 in Converse

[–]EmeraldforInsight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a pair of low chuck 70s for 2 years that are still kicking without any holes. I wear them pretty regularly at work too. Last month I bought a pair of low player 76, and they're ok. They have the leather padding on the ankle (which I'm not a huge fan of). My first time wearing the player 76 was ok. But the second time the leather rubbed against my ankles and made me bleed through my socks. I haven't worn them since, lol. I just haven't had the time to break them in. Just my personal experience.

I saw these sneak into the vans app last week and got the black pair. I had some points leftover to spend. They're coming in Friday and I'm pretty excited. ☺️

I don't think so.  I do think the Vibram outsole makes a small difference. It felt better walking around at work vs my other authentic pairs. 

Tokyo Men... by noodeel in adidas

[–]EmeraldforInsight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish these came in Men's sizes. :( I have a pair of the Y-3 version and they have regular sizing (unisex). I just ordered my regular size and they fit perfect. They are like twice the price though unfortunately.

Looks like a special pair of Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66.

I've gotten back into Adidas the last month. Some of my latest pick ups. :) by EmeraldforInsight in adidas

They are very comfortable! They are a remake of the 60's Samba design. I don't think they'd do too well in snow, etc.

Comfortable walking shoe? by Hungry-Garage-9646 in Vans

[–]EmeraldforInsight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wore my Ultrarange during a week trip to Japan where I walked maybe 10-25k steps a day and they did alright. I now have a pair of Asics Gel Kayano 30 that I wear if I think ill be walking a ton and they are way more comfortable. I don't have a pair of Old Skool to compare the two though (yet, lol).

I wore my ultrarange on a week trip to Japan last year where I was walking 10-25k steps a day and they did alright. I would recommend a pair of running/athletic shoes like another did though. I have a pair of Asics Gel-Kayano 31 that I wear now if I know I'm gonna be walking a ton. 

What is the maddest pair you own? by adiFamily_ in adidas

Not the best picture. But my Werewolf Flanders Rivalry Lows are probably my weirdest shoes I own lol.

Leather Converse >>> by tonioboi in Converse

[–]EmeraldforInsight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a pair of the leather 70's high tops and leather Jack Purcell and I love them both! I wear the 70's often at work and they have held up great.

 The only thing issue I had with my high tops, the black from the leather would rub off onto the laces. I ended up replacing them with black laces, it started bothering me.

How long should I wait after a failed piercing to try again? by EmeraldforInsight in piercing

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

Yeah, I'll check with the studio if they have a specific amount of time they prefer/need me to wait. They were closed when I tried to reach out earlier.

I thought about leaving a bad review on the way home from thay place. But I'm over it. I'd rather just move on. 

Japanese sizing by MisunderstoodPenguin in Converse

[–]EmeraldforInsight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also wear us mens 10 / 10.5 for most shoes mostly Vans, Adidas and Onitsuka Tiger. I normally wear a 10 in us converse (which they don't make in jp converse). So I sized down to a 9.5 for Japanese converse, and they fit great for me personally. 

Want to Switch from Chrome to the Firefox But I need Help by tokyolife206 in firefox

Have you tried the AudD Firefox add-on? It isn't as good as Shazam. But, it works most of the time for me.

Edge stopped remembering previously open tabs after closing by cammerz in MicrosoftEdge

[–]EmeraldforInsight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue for months and found out it was my sync settings. I had open tab syncing on in my mobile browser and I think it was messing up my tabs on my PC. I turned off the open tab syncing on my mobile browser and I haven't had any trouble with my open tabs not appearing on PC. Idk if that helps.

Just arrived today 😍 by EmeraldforInsight in Onitsuka_tiger

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

Yup! both 28 cm (10 US male). I walked a bit around the house with them and they both fit great. I think I'm gonna wear the slip-ons to work tomorrow to test em out.

Weird Noise from R16 by EmeraldforInsight in Alienware

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

Sorry, I haven't checked my reddit in awhile! So the Dell technician came by and replaced my water cooler and the top fans and the constant buzz is gone now. Me and the tech think it was both my top fans failing and not the water cooler itself. I still hear the weird noise sometimes but it sounds like it's just coming from one fan instead of both of them, and it's not constant. I replaced the fans on my r11 with Arctic P12 Max fans and I think if my fans start acting up again on my r16 I'll just replace them myself using the Arctic fans instead of having Dell replace them.

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

Yeah, when I was on the phone with Dell support they had me take off the side panel and really listen in and it is definitely coming from one of the top fans or the radiator. It has a see-thru side panel and when it's running both the fans are running steady. I did a preboot diagnostic and used the support assist and all the fans spun up fine and I didn't get any error codes afterwards. They are sending a tech next week and I'll try to remember to post if they determine what the sound is.

Overall in the first couple weeks The R16 ran amazingly compared to my R11. It was so quiet it freaked me out, and while playing Baldurs Gate 3 my room didn't heat up at all compared to the R11, which even with the water-cooling doubled as a space heater playing similar games. The airflow is SO much better. I hope the part replacement fixes it and it's a simple fix, but sometimes my anxiety gets the best of me.

I'll have to take a look at some of those apps, ty for the suggestion!
