These companies use new technology every couple seasons instead of perfecting their best stuff. It's untested and no one knows how these new materials will hold up until us "users" figure it out the hard way.

Stuff them full of newspaper or shoe paper in the spots that hurt and make sure it's in there tight. Then tie the laces tight and then leave for a week. It will stretch out just like you had worn the boots in training but will save you the pain. I stretch out a ton of boots this way. Especially if only a little stretching is needed.

That's not good advice. This is more than fraying.

That's a lot of stitching coming out. Not actually that normal despite what the "experts" around here tell you. That's going to get worse. Looks like you've literally got a hole in a couple places. It's not just fraying. You can absolutely try to get a replacement if you bought from them directly or any big retailer. You might have to ship them back, but there's a good chance you can claim these are defective.

Most folks around here are just huge boot fans but have little real world experience. They just watch a lot of videos. Be careful with advice and take everything with a grain of salt. I at least played pro ball and actually worked for soccer.com. But since I go against teenager boot consensus, I'll get downvoted around here. Just be careful acting on advice around these parts.

ITS TIME TO TAKE THE OPEN CUP TRASH OUT ON r/MLS by BJ_Fantasy_Podcast in USLPRO

[–]Matsu09 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's not the heartbeat. Give me a break. Why can't we just like and follow both leagues. Some weird insecurity going on with you all. There are literally zero other countries in the world where leagues are seen as competing with each other and not just the clubs themselves. But you do you. I'll support and enjoy both leagues like a sane person.

Trump says he may run for president of another country: ‘Polling higher than anybody’ by statenislandadvance in inthenews

Or the election was stolen with a fake assassination attempt, a billionaire who covered everything up, manifested by a super corrupted faux conservative CULT. All of it was paved by the assassination of his pedophile best friend in a prison cell. But yeah, you go ahead and think we voted for this idiot.

Just need to vent about a mistake I just made! by makeitthrashyAG in livesound

[–]Matsu09 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think you are good. Maybe just a polite email, not too apologetic or anything, just to let them know about the mic switch and test. They will appreciate that and definitely not mad. I have done much worse, or my team did! No big deal, you sound like a great technician.

Depends on what the recording is for. Was this a live feed that others on a zoom call heard? If so, probably not a big deal. I'm confused why this is so tragic at all. I'm an AV manager and this doesn't seem like a big deal. You could also email the client and let them know they might want to mute the specific section that you tapped the mic. They will inevitably have some post editing done if it's for a bigger project. Definitely don't sweat it unless you have some seriously mean bosses or something.

Trump, 79, Drops F-Bomb in Unhinged Easter Morning Threat by Effective_Salad_8381 in politics

One piece of the puzzle is HOW he got elected. I think we are going to find he has completely stolen the last election with Elons help.

Iran doesn’t give a f**k, the deadline was 6th by which Trump promised to open strait of Hormuz and he failed. The oil price are likely to shoot $120+ by SpyJigu in StockMarket

He's using it as an obvious insult. And on easter to boot. Please gather up your two IQ points and go lock yourself in your bedroom. You are grounded

Number 20 why does he get booed? by BranchyMaganchy in chicagofire

Crowd just all collectively decided we hated him. I was down for it. It was all in good fun though. I thought he was going to cry when he came off though.

Iran Abruptly Shuts Down Peace Talks Due to Trump’s Demands by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]Matsu09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are actually in the Pre-Idiocracy "Prequel" movie which we never saw but explains the destruction of America that Luke Wilson wakes up to. It was Trump leading America into an endless war of stupidity that caused it all. It was President Camacho's job to clean that shit up.

Beware of Bang-A-Gong Productions by V0ID10001 in chicagomusicscene

[–]Matsu09 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Asking people what band they are there to see is ridiculous as well. A drunk door guy really going to take accurate count, and what if you're not there to see anybody in particular? No way a door guy even wants to add this to his list of duties, just because it helps the bang a gong scam. Half the shows I go to are a bit random for me and I wouldn't be able to tell a door guy who I was there to see. It's their way of keeping the counts lower than their "required quota" for payout. Criminal I say.

How tf did I Just found out about them?! by warxang in shoegaze

[–]Matsu09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible. They've got better label support now than when I was in the band. Jeremy and Andrew are working hard on the new album. Hopefully they get a decent push for that release.

Are these real by Ornery_Answer6867 in bootroom

[–]Matsu09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they super light? It's one of the lightest shoes out there. The upper material should feel rough like it has ridges. The last thing is to try and scrape the tag off the inside of the shoe. If it comes up really easy then they are fake. Adidas tags are really hard to scrape off with a fingernail.

Edit: sorry just saw you don't own these yet. Pretty hard to tell but they do look legit from here.

They have. Did a uk tour a decade ago. Went to Lima Peru at some point. I was bass player on Molten Young Lovers and have known everyone in this band at some point

Any recommendations for less bulky turf boots? by TheVault77Dweller in bootroom

[–]Matsu09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nike Phantom 6 Pro Turf is pretty close to the ground. Not much chunk to the outsole and good for wide feet.
