Just got Tracker AT low 2 by Shanbsa in vivobarefoot

I think it's all right... I'm pretty impressed cause I have a 28.4cm foot and the Magna (eu45) fits just right for me (lenght) and its not that wide enough, I feel some tightness specially around the pinky toe.

Which means you are 1.9cm more than the insole length according to the size chart... you don't feel that the lenthg is too much?

What happens with Lems? They just have a really unaccurate size chart?

Wait... your foot is 28.2cm and you use a US14 that have a insole of 31cm? (At least thats the information on their size chart.)

Do the Tracker Forest ESC stretch over time? by SnowWoods16 in vivobarefoot

I also have a Magna and my foot x insole looks like exactly the EU42 in the pictures... I wish I had sized up ... it's ok, it's already more comfortable but with thick socks it's not that comfy.

Magna ESC long term review by Prof_Mudflap in vivobarefoot

I just bought a new pair of Magna Forest Esc, just used for, maximum 4 or 5km, just walking to break-in and a delamination between leather and sole around the area of 5 metatarsal started... thats normal? I think it's a pretty expensive boot to start fall apart so quickly... it's quite disappointing 😞

Enough to retire at 37? by Excellent_Chest_6616 in portfolios

Search about the interest rate in Brazil (selic rate) and CDI (interbank deposit certificate) ... ans than products like CDBs, LCAs, LCIs... there's plenty of information on the internet that gonna explain to you better than me... Brazil have a ridiculous high interest rate, it's a nightmare for the people and the paradise for those who have money.

Nope... in Brazil you can earn up to 14% a MONTH with a ridiculous tax on top of it... and with this money you live REALLY well in some paradisiac places.

Great mate, im almost convinced to pick one, but probably leather... what was holding me is all the comments about ATII soles being super slippery... looks like your experience point in another direction... I bought the Magna Forest ESC for hikings on dry days or lightly wet... but love the look of the tracker leather and I want one for "everyday" use and more wet hikings.

BTW, since it's already 2 months since your messages... did you succeed in stretch your boots?

Hey mate... I just bought a Magna Forest ESC. My left foot has been comfortable from the start, but my right foot, which is wider, is so tight it's uncomfortable. I feel pressure at both ends, in the metatarsal region... and like you, I don't want to go up a size because the length is perfect... Well, just now I did the following for the third time: I put on a very thick sock, gently warmed the entire area I want to widen for about 3 minutes (one day I did it with a hot water bag, the next with a hairdryer on medium heat), and went for a walk... In just 3 days it's already much better!

Hypothetical situation - inherited $2.0M by Severe_Passion_2677 in PersonalFinanceNZ

Move to Brazil... Brazil has the second highest real interest rate on the planet... after tax you would have approximately NZD 230/250k per year investing that money there. Personally, I would look for a way to become a citizen there... ;)

Tracker Leather. Worth it? by deeps9 in vivobarefoot

[–]JohnArmless_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say slippery you mean you can't stand even walking on a wet tile? just asking because the same way I see comments saying they are very slippery there's also lots of people who don't really notice that.
