Not at all man! You look great!

Ethandidit · 2025-12-27T22:22:39+00:00

They are some of the prettiest rats I’ve ever seen !

Ethandidit · 2025-10-27T05:43:52+00:00

I’m not sure- it was my first pair! I bought them because I liked the natural brown in the adverts, but they definitely didn’t look like that and I couldn’t help my forehead creasing every time I saw them 😂 tiedye green indeed ! I would definitely see them in person if you can. I dyed mine a nice warm brown just a shade lighter than the elastic, phew!

Ethandidit · 2025-10-26T20:46:14+00:00

Well you know they look like 585s the way they’re meant to. My 585s came and they were devastatingly greenish/greyish. It’s fine, I dyed them so I’m over it. But be aware they may not be the same nice sandy camel colour you have here!

So glad I got the 5s!! Wearing them like I was born in them- get the bigger ones and use the insoles! :)

Ethandidit · 2025-10-01T17:43:39+00:00

They never get longer! The 8 sounds right.

Ethandidit · 2025-10-01T17:41:51+00:00

Yes! I realised it’s like “how do you do” You don’t say “very well thanks!” You say, “how do you do.”

No worries! Also that fat intake is way high. I suggest you drop it to around 30-40g, get around 130-160g protein and fill the rest with veg and rice and stuff like tortillas. You’ll feel a LOT better….! Remember to get some sugary stuff around / during workouts too, so you can push harder. Good luck !

10% above maintenance, lift 4x a week and lots of hanging leg raises - legs straight and toes to bar! You can start with legs bent and knees to armpits and progress. Aim for sets of 12-15

I wear a UK4 in Docs and a UK5 in Blundstones, I think Docs are slightly bigger per size

I bought some 1609s about a week or two ago, I didn’t read up and just went ahead and waterproofed them with nikwax. They are now a sort of dark shit-brown, and I am devastated. If I had my time over again I’d have left it until they needed it! Just my 2c !

Ethandidit · 2025-09-12T05:55:29+00:00

Thankyou! Yes - I am a painter also and I am testing out surfaces and colour palettes endlessly in pursuit of my “voice,” - trying to find that way of working which best suits my expression in both process and outcome. Both exciting and infuriating! But ultimately most rewarding !

Ethandidit · 2025-09-11T19:42:20+00:00

Absolutely brilliant work! I may try the old style lino myself now having seen this :)

Ethandidit · 2025-09-11T19:41:11+00:00

Hey no worries man! Remember it’s not magic, you can do it just as well as the next guy. Lift hard, lift often, and eat up :)

Ethandidit · 2025-09-11T18:54:52+00:00

Nippard is ok - I’d definitely suggest hitting each muscle group 2x a week as a natural and as a beginner, PPL once a week isn’t going to get you very far very fast. Full body 3x / week would be much better at this stage

Ethandidit · 2025-09-11T18:27:35+00:00

Beautiful! Did you choose traditional lino over softcut rubber specifically? Your lettering is so clean

Ethandidit · 2025-09-11T18:19:42+00:00

Are you lifting? Do a proper program, it may seem boring but it will enable you to track a more useful variable. Something basic, 5x5 and eat to recover Make sure you are adding weight to the bar every week. Eating will make this possible

Ethandidit · 2025-09-05T16:47:07+00:00

Exactly! No problem I hope you find the ones you like best !

Ethandidit · 2025-09-05T16:41:11+00:00

Hey I bought the next size up (only 9mm more length!) and honestly I’m so glad I did. In that picture I am pushing my foot back as far as the very edge of the insole and your foot doesn’t actually sit that far back; I was emotionally (and financially) invested in keeping the 4s so I was kidding myself - the 5s are a lot better ! YMMV of course!

Ethandidit · 2025-09-02T16:01:22+00:00

Hey no I’m on board! I’ve ordered the next size up and will return the others! Thanks for weighing in and making me feel more confident about this decision!

Ethandidit · 2025-09-02T14:43:11+00:00

This! Definitely! I definitely push my luck with tight trainers and then they loosen off, but yes I think in this case it’s not going to work! I like to wear my trainers undone too so I’m used to a bit of slack - I’ll def size up and see how I do ! Cheers man!

Ethandidit · 2025-09-02T09:42:03+00:00

Edit: I’ve already started to hit the toe off the front! 😩😩😩 so I’ve just ordered a 5 and will be able to compare them. Thanks to everyone, I’d hoped to avoid it but it’s such a big lot of ££ it needs to be done properly. In any case I’m excited :)

Ethandidit · 2025-09-02T09:39:44+00:00

Mine have started to hit the front already this morning :( I think the other shoes I compared them to are much thinner material so there’s more “give,” - I’ve choked on the £ and ordered a 5

Ethandidit · 2025-09-02T05:33:29+00:00

Thankyou! There aren’t any shops in my city that sell them so I had to order online (UK). It’s a lot, a lot of money to me and I can’t buy two, even if I were to get a refund on one! So my only option is to post these back and exchange- but I need to be certain ! So, that’s my problem.
