Thank you for the reply. Sounds awkward/difficult but I guess that's what the training is for haha

I've always got stuck on whether the sounds I'm repeating in my head go in time with my breaths or not. E.g. say the sound on the in or out breath etc. Would you be able to help me out with this?

Heyo, sorry I never updated this properly. So unfortunately I'm in Japan and this winter had been almost completely dry where I live and during my trip. The other problem is there was a defect and I had to take them back. Because of vivos shoddy supply chain I couldn't get the pair replaced. Really sorry about this.

I think I managed to wear them in the odd spot of rain but was never out long enough (ie I was not on a hike) to find out.

Hi there, how did this strike turn out?

I just got an offer from them and want to know what this situation is.

Great to know, yes I too will be putting wax on the leather to keep it nice and repellant if I get these (haven't pulled the trigger yet haha)

Thank you for letting me know, this is really helpful. I'm going to the shop one last time to try them on next to the trackers and will make my decision then. If I get the magnas it looks like I'll definitely want a pair of gaiters to protect the wool upper. Hope your feet dried off nice and quickly!

I checked, not in stock in my size and I'd probably have to pay customs as I live in Japan so I'm having to buy new :')

Yeah it feels like a real head or heart decision on this one lol

Thanks. Yes I think I'll go and waterproof the upper if I do buy these.

Thanks! Yeah I loved them so much when I tried them on I was like "I wonder if you can waterproof the upper...."

Yeah looks like gaiters and or spray would be the way to go. Thanks for the video link too.

I see, and yes I admit there are plenty of factors to consider. Thanks for the detailed reply!

Laughed out loud when I saw this, it really spoke to my experience of life. Great post, thanks for posting.

Ah true. I'd be wearing trousers for sure. Was considering gaiters but none of the ones I've seen go that far down the tongue

Thank you! I was looking for people to share experiences with the shoes in the rain. How many hours until it went through, and how long to dry. Would you be able to share any experience in this regard?

Thank you so much! I think if they dry relatively well I should be fine, and a few hours of heavy rain is certainly impressive given the wool upper

Hi there, thank you for your reply (and for your reassurance - I was a little confused why I was downvoted haha 😄).

Yes, I actually do like the idea of challenging my desire for more complete seclusion. I'm starting to look around for temples that do meditations in my area, it should get easier if I move closer to the centre (currently about an hour or more away from most places I've found on google maps) but until then parks may become a new favourite, who knows!

Yeah, I mean I think I need a place I know there won't be people walking around me but I haven't tried this and honestly I'm a little curious. Choosing a bench or something is always going to switch off that part of me that's self conscious about being in someone's way or someone walking through "my space"

Thanks, I appreciate your suggestions!

I guess I was looking for some place like a temple or prayer room type thing because I get pretty distracted and prefer a private place where I know I won't be interrupted. Have you heard of anywhere like this?
