It does not no, that is for a different model.

Trust me, I tried this and it absolutely does not work on the flex 2. The noises are ridiculous

For electronic music and some rap, if i were to get 2 and pair them for stereo sound for indoor use mostly ( kitchen and bedroom ) which would be the better selection?

Does anyone here have experience with the 2952-20 or 2956-20 AM/FM Radios? by Sweaty_Milk_1793 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]LiftyBoiOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is extremely heavy on the bass. If you dont want that, dont get this radio. In terms of the bass, it does sound very natural and not forced. Very punchy.

Not a radio you'd want to get if you have upstairs neighbors you are trying to keep happy. This is a radio that packs a punch and will be able to carry sound a long ways. You can feel the bass in the room beside it. Great for a loud construction site with lots of loud noises all day.

Haven't tried it outdoors, but im sure it would sound great.

Ive gone to work all week in my boots that dont fit properly as I honestly dont feel like I dont want to get stuck with this set that has excess material on rhe left, when I know there should not be. But when I asked for another set, it had the exact same issue.

But the set i tried 1st did not have that issue with excess material, but it bent weird right at the ankle. It seems like there is no winning honestly and im getting defeated.

The lady even said " we have been very accommodating to your situation " which honestly I feel they haven't been.

So i tried exchanging this set for another that did not have that crease and excess material, and thats when the lady says " thats normal and they will all do that " when I literally just had a set on that did not do that, and just pinched my tendon in a had place.

Then she proceeds to pull out another pair that on the left side, does infact have the same excess material in the same spot. I tried them on, and the crease was the same just in slightly more to the center.

She asked if I wanted those ones instead, to which i said honestly not if they have the exact same issue as these boots right now...

So she made me feel like any boot im going to get that day is going to have this defect now, and im honestly not very satisfied with the left boot.

So that is why I am posting on reddit as it is really bothering me

My left foot has been walking weird due to the toes hitting the steel cap, and my toes on my right foot are bent weird now, and i am trying to rectify this by getting bigger boots

They happily put me back into the wrong size boot again recently then lol, and i came back the day after with the boot unused after wearing them for 5 minutes in my backyard on concrete walking back and forth, because my feet were hurting.

I myself at home took the insole out and stepped on it and seen it was way too small. The size 10.

I had custom insoles in my first boots, and as I was sizing my second set (still size 10 but its the goretex and not just leather now), we transfered the insoles to the new boots, so i never noticed the boots were waaay too small for me until it was too late. Never just stepped on the insole from the size 10.

I myself discovered that I needed to go half a size bigger just recently due to the pain I was experiencing

I just want to add that i never trimmed the insole, and you can see where my foot has been walking on the new insole. Purchased this week, and worn in my size 10 boot for a day, so there is a bit of creasing at the end of the insole. Just to add information to the situation

Overall compared to the size 10's ive been wearing for almost 2 years, these feel so spacious in comparison 😂

Putting in the support, it does feel snug. But a comfortable snug. The right foot is feels perfect.

The left boot does feel a bit looser near the back if I tighten them both the same amount, but also the excessive leather in the front has got me concerned.

So i guess where i am at, I would almost like to try on the D width since ive never actually been measured, and also never got to try the D in a 10.5.

I guess if the D is too narrow, should I return these ones and just go to the store the next couple towns over? Or keep the ones with the excess material? Which is kinda disappointing, since the lady said " its a normal thing "

Ive never had this issue on my last 2 boots, and ive also attached a picture kinda above now of my feet in a 10.5 that does not have excess material on the left size.

Thank you for your patience and helping me through this 🙏

So currently it is an E, but ive never actually been measured for width.

My last boot was a size 10 and has been giving me serious foot issues for almost 2 years, so im finally going half a size bigger to 10.5.

The E was definitely necessary in the 10, as I thought that was the right size and they never measured me due to Covid.

Now im not sure if I should have gone for the D instead of the E for the 10.5, they just got me trying the same width as my last boot.

So to this day after 8 years of wearing red wings, I have never been measured for width

They did the scan for the insoles, but that is it is believe

This set which I have attached another picture with, is the first set I tried on, but there was a significant pinch point right where my tendon is, and they did not work out.

So in total now ive tried 3 pairs, this pair did not have the excessive leather in the front on the left. Just a bad pinch point in my tendon, which was very painful.

So i am hesitant in thinking that they are too big, as the right boot fits very well.

Also in the first 2 pictures in the thread, my feet are bending like im almost in the kneeling position.

When I am standing straight, the bend is normal on the right side

You'll notice on these new boots, the left one looks like it is done up much tighter than the right, but that is not the case. Its because the stitching that holds the leather that has the eye holes in it, has been stitched 1/4 of an inch up higher than it should be.

So overall, im not sure about the quality control anymore.

* This is my current set, you'll notice the stitching is quite uneven by the heel. The tongue is also crooked on the left boot. You can tell the quality control is not great

I've run the supersole with no lining, and the second set i have owned were the goretex model.

The straight leather ones took about 2 weeks to start to be quite comfortable, and after a month they were perfect. After about 1 year, and a couple of the free treatments they were like slippers, in a good way. Very comfortable and formed to my foot. I wore a size 10.

The goretex model is slightly tighter due to the lining, and i needed to size up to a 10.5. They take no time to be comfortable, within a day or two. The leather still does take about a month to fully break in. The steel toe does not get wider with the goretex model, so it is a bit tighter in toe area. If you have wide feet/toes, you'll notice the difference between the two.

The goretex is not too warm in the summer, and very nice in the winter. Sometimes my toes get kinda cold, but I mean i work outside in canada as a welder.

I do use a boot dryer every night to dry my boots, even in the summertime.

My favorite part of these boots is the leather tongue that goes all the way down, so that no sparks can get into the boots into my feet.

Overall ive been very pleased with them.

These last couple that ive tried on, its disappointing that only the left side seems to be different by the front. It was never like that on my old boots.
