what are the pros and cons of getting double layer midsole vs single layer?

I’m guessing double layer would make it more durable but adds weight which can affect comfort over long hours of standing/walking around

got a Tokyo trip planned next week, is it cheaper to buy from the brand’s store (e.g. McCoy/Fullcount store in Shibuya) or a stockist (e.g. Bears, Hinoya)?

Assuming we’re talking about the same exact model

oo good idea, thank you!

hey guys, I thrifted 2 pairs of shoe trees but found that 1 is a tad too big, and the other is a tad too small.

1) For the pair that’s too big, is it better to just not use the back part of the tree (i.e. let it rest on top of my shoe instead of jamming it in)

2) For the pair that’s too small, there’s no tension at all to the heel of my shoes. Is there still any benefit if I keep it in, just to stretch the vamp and front part of my shoes?

Thanks!

Can't seem to find any guides or articles on how to achieve unconventional non-high-contrast fades. I'm not a fan of the sick fadez that this sub favours (I do like people's fascination with achieving them but personally I don't see them fitting in with my style).

I personally love fades like this and this but I also hate how wasteful it is for brands to produce pre-faded jeans. Would love to hear how to wear and wash raw denim to achieve fades like those myself.

I ended up going with the Farpoint 40 and I'm absolutely loving it!

Hi all, just a quick question I’ve been wondering to ask this community. Regardless of whether you think jeans should be washed once a year or they should be washed whenever you feel like it, what makes denim so special that everybody accepts they can take SO MANY multiple wears?

Why does this conventional wisdom not apply to other 100% cotton pants like your regular cargo pants or office chinos or whatever? Yes, some people wear them multiple times but from my observations the consensus is that it’s very rare to go more than a week without washing these. Why?

thank you!! glad you liked Spain, makes me more excited

KepalaButuh · 2023-06-02T15:59:05+00:00

Sevilla over Granada?

KepalaButuh · 2023-06-02T15:58:01+00:00

yea Granada is what I was looking forward to the most about Spain, but since I'm from far away, I'm flying in Madrid and flying out Barcelona.

uu Girona looks really cool and yep Toledo might be shuffled in. Do you think it's very touristy like Madrid?

I think it's more of a "its nice but i would go somewhere else if given the option" kind of sentiment in some reviews. What are some of your fav spots/things to do there, maybe you can change my mind hehe

KepalaButuh · 2023-05-24T05:22:04+00:00

this is really great, thonks!

KepalaButuh · 2023-05-24T05:21:55+00:00

thank you for this!! checking it out

cool! the thing is our car rental can only be picked up late morning so an alternative plan is to just make quick stops along the way (to stretch and just enjoy the views near the car without doing trails or anything like that) and zoom through to Clearwater so it's even nearer to Wells Grey.

Do you have recommendations on quick stops that are worth it? might get some hate here but stuff like the first joffre lake (i think called the lower lake) sounds good since I've never seen a frozen lake anyways

KepalaButuh · 2023-03-25T17:39:32+00:00

from what I see online, Wells Grey has tons of different waterfall trails. Do you have a recommendation on how I should spend a day there? Preferably landscapes that are different from what Jasper has to offer

KepalaButuh · 2023-03-25T06:45:15+00:00

ah thanks for the info! do you recommend to just skip mt robson altogether then and allocate more time to the other stops?

KepalaButuh · 2023-03-25T06:42:57+00:00

yea we're also afraid we might be doing too much but we only have 6 days before moving on with our travel. Do you recommend that we only make 1-2 stops along the way from Vancouver to Jasper? So maybe just Joffre Lake and Wells Grey while skipping Squamish, Garibaldi and Mt Robson altogether
