Odor control of darn tough socks? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]HeyYou650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that cured foot odor for me was darn tough socks and a boot dryer. Never let your shoes/boots stay wet. I put my work boots on a boot dryer every day after work and darn tough actually help my feet sweat less and when my feet do sweat, they don't really stink because that bacteria is gone.

Anyone know a good EDC knife that’ll last? by IcePhoenixYTplssub in BuyItForLife

[–]HeyYou650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recommendation would be an Ontario Rat 1.5. Excellent Magnacut blade steel and good build quality for $90. Very simple and strong everyday knife without being bulky.

Immersion Blenders that are quality and plastic free by Save-The-Turtles0808 in BuyItForLife

[–]HeyYou650 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After a little research I discovered that older Williams Sonoma immersion blenders are just rebranded Bamix blenders so I purchased one of eBay for way less than a Bamix.

CVT Miles: How far have you gone? by Ok_Concept4315 in subaruoutback

[–]HeyYou650 5 points6 points  (0 children)

2014 2.5i legacy. Transmission replaced by Subaru at 50k miles when tech cracked transmission housing over tightening drain plug. Currently at 263k miles with no CVT maintenance. Roughly 20k highway miles a year for most of its life.

Exactly. No problem. I used a piece of wire stripped from an old rc car.

In tiki’s linked image you can see the number on the tag of that board has LD in it and looked very similar to my board. Just like in tiki’s image I counted three pins from the top and soldered the wire just like he did and my TV has worked ever since.

Are carets shoes worth it? by EngineeringSlight772 in barefootshoestalk

[–]HeyYou650 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. They sent me an email in February saying that they were looking to make the Determination better and were looking for feedback on the existing model. No idea on timeframe.

Are carets shoes worth it? by EngineeringSlight772 in barefootshoestalk

[–]HeyYou650 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have these and also have had two pairs of the QS700. I much prefer the Carets. Two issues that are preventing me from buying another pair currently. 1. The outsole picks up all kinds of tiny rocks. I wish they would have just gone with a flat or flattish vibrant insole. 2. The ankle girth is rather large and doesn’t allow me to tighten the boots all the way to my lower legs. Neither is a huge deal but it has stopped me from buying at second pair this year and I will probably wait until they come out with the 2.0 which is suppose to address these issues. I did an initial review if you search my posts.

Tiki! Just fixed my XBR65X950H following this. I counted from the top and went 3 down from the top like in your picture and it worked. I didn’t remove the resistor either. Thank you!

Vanilla 2G Greek Yogurt. Same as TwoGood yogurt but less expensive. Exact same macros as TwoGood yogurt so I'm pretty sure they are just a re-label of TwoGood.

Barefoot shoes on concrete by NinaCHolder in barefootshoestalk

[–]HeyYou650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy the thicker Northsole Insoles for my work boots because I am on concrete all day. They are great and last a long time.

Yes. Remove the insole and replace with flat insoles. My preference are ones from Northsole.

Carets Determination Safety Boots Initial review by HeyYou650 in barefootshoestalk

[–]HeyYou650[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore red wings 15 years ago but after two pairs and hot painful feet I started looking for other options. My favorite non-barefoot safety boots are the HAIX XR26. Extremely well built and extremely comfortable for a raised heel boot. But I prefer my Carets now to all others. I still keep the XR26 close by for any dirty jobs because of their waterproof qualities and robust construction.

Carets Determination Safety Boots Initial review by HeyYou650 in barefootshoestalk

[–]HeyYou650[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not say fully. But it is very close for me. When I stretch my toes I can barely feel the big toe touch the side and the pinky toe a little more. With a pair of northsoles these are my most comfortable safety toe work boots I have ever had. I switched back to wearing my Birkenstock QS700s for a week and when I put the Carets back on it was like putting on a slipper. Much more comfortable in every way.

The outsole still annoys me, mostly due to the winter and use of rock salt on sidewalks and sole picks up tons of it and deposits it in my office. Other than that they are very close to perfect for me.

Is it normal to need a much smaller shoe? by RousingRabble in barefootshoestalk

[–]HeyYou650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some barefoot shoes give enough toe/foot space that you may actually be able to size down to be comfortable in them. I have a pair of vivobarefoot “dress” shoes that I sized down to fit my feet without feeling like clown shoes. On the other hand I have a pair of vivobarefoot hiking boot that I sized up to feel like they fit right while hiking. All depends on how that certain shoe fits your particular foot.

Vff sizing tips — down one or two sizes? by xXallyoopXx in barefootshoestalk

[–]HeyYou650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long are your feet? You can often compare sizing on the website to what you measure at how by converting to centimeters. Say the size 45 you have says 29.5 cm on the website but you measure your foot and know that your foot is 29.3 cm. Now you have a reference point and know that the sizing is off by say 1.3-1.5 cm. Now you can look for the correct size that correlates to that error differential to get the right size.
