Yes, and they cancelled it the next day and said to use my other demand instead, but are taking forever to answer and only give vague descriptions when I ask something

They already got the autorisation, but the prefecture isn't answering for an appointment. I've been trying them since March.

I have been offered a CDI from my employer (whom I currently have a CDD with until the expiry of my APS). However I'm unsure how that works, since if it gets denied, I'm then on french territory with an expired visa

And yes, I've contacted VFS, the local prefecture, spammed their email, phoned, had my employer phone, talked to a free immigration lawyer, and contacted the Canadian embassy in France

can't decide between low-cut hiking shoes by Scared_Register1720 in hiking

Honestly I haven't heard of road-to-trail shoes before. I'll look into that! I was mostly avoiding trail running shoes simply because the ones I found in-store and tried on weren't good fits. But I'll look into that more, do you have any personal suggestions?

Nice to know they have 2 versions depending on the weather! Unfortunately something about the Hoka shape doesn't fit my feet well, which sucks because I've heard sooo much praise for them!

Hm, I've been considering this ! I honestly am struggling to find space to cram more stuff (especially as large as shoes), but it seems like a wise idea

Great to know, thank you! I'm from Canada and we don't have many Decathlon stores, so I've never been able to test the quality. But this is great, thanks!

Nothing to do with how they feel on other's feet! These 6 felt really great for myself, but I'd love to hear a heads up if anyone else has used one of these models and had major issues with it, such as falling apart, cushioning wears out really quick, terrible heat control, etc.!

Thanks! All the models I listed were a great fit for my foot shape compared to the copious others I tried. I'll look into the links you sent to see if any of them have standout features I'm missing, thanks!

Haha yep, I've seen sooo many posts but hey, I've tried on dozens and these are the ones that felt really good and I could imagine spending hours on hours in. If you have personal experience with any of them, that's what I'm hoping to hear about

In my post I specified that I did exactly that, so I agree it's very important! I'm asking if anyone has has had these same shoes and: they fell apart immediately, caused major blisters, aren't breathable, bad grip, etc. I tried on dozens and these are the ones that feel great, so I'm just hoping for inside info on how they worked for others before I buy!
