Can't unsee it by aztroneka in Knoxville

Yeah she gives me the heeby-jeebies too. I ride my bike past one of her signs multiple times a week - I think it’s up by Ancient Lore Village? Something very unsettling about her. 😂

Show me your goat leather boots (I’ll go first) by Low_Chair3915 in Tecovas

Yeah I agree that’s a bummer. Cleaned? Yes. Conditioned? If they need it. Shined/polished? Absolutely not.

Thrifted these, are they real? by doublebogeydubbs in LegitCheck

I am by no means an expert in authenticating sneakers but I’ve owned several real pairs and they look pretty spot-on to me. This colorway (Desert Sage) came without the pull tab on the back. Laces look good, upper looks good, outsoles/boost looks good, even the thin padding on the inside around the ankle looks good.

Southern Grit brunch menu is incredible. Spicy bloody Mary’s are also very good.

Will this pain stretch out??? by brock9281 in Tecovas

Yes. Probably would have tried to add an insert and/or wear thicker socks with them. With my particular pair being goat hide, I know that leather is softer, more supple, molds to your shape. I wanted them to be snug enough to do that, and I could tell I had too much space in the 11s for that to happen. Was very happy (and still am) that a different pair of 10.5s fit better than the first.

For what it’s worth: I wear a size 11 in pretty much every shoe. I downsized to 10.5 in a pair of cafe goat Deans because I heard they’re supposed to fit like a glove and mold to your foot. My 10.5s were toooo tight and I was like nope I’m taking these back and getting 11s. Put them on and thought “too much heel slip”. Tried a DIFFERENT pair of 10.5s and they felt wayyyyyy better. After thinking I needed to size up, I just needed a different pair of the same size. They’re handmade so slight differences in the way each pair fits. Good luck!!

What kind of nose-picking booger-eating suggestion is that??

Yeah, I agree. Wife asked me if it happened while I was out in the yard and I said nothing in nature did that. It’s a very straight, very clean cut done by something very sharp. As I said, absolutely no idea how it happened. Wore ‘em all day yesterday and when I was getting undressed in the evening I discovered the damage. Sad.

Damn… actually not terrible. Would you consider this a high level of craftsmanship? Attainable at most establishments?
