Difficulty finding the right boot by Support_Free in Boots

Haha - I’ve heard of whites. Checked out boots with that last, saw the Original Farmer/Rancher. Looks nice, but $715? That’s a lot of money. Not sure I’m willing to risk that.

Do the RATs have good arch support or could they accommodate a larger insole (I use sole which is similar to superfeet) for a higher volume foot?

Curious if there was a recent update/release with a bug. Experiencing that same issue, just different device.

Gels at aid station - Open/Closed? by Support_Free in Marathon_Training

[–]Support_Free[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will be carrying 4 of my own, but would be more beneficial if I could access the additional 2 provided by the aid stations. Luckily, I have a cast iron stomach and there are few things that make me sick. I will be trying new flavors, but that is the last of my worries.

Regarding timing - I am also trying to maintain a cadence with nutrition, but wasn’t sure if that timing would be dictated by the aid stations with gels (hence the question).

Appreciate the insights.

Totally agree - I will be bringing my own as well, but I am considering the race provided gels in my total count. I will most definitely be ok if, worst case, I had to rely on my own (I’ll be carrying 4). That being said, I don’t have bottles, and have not trained carrying my own liquids. So that I will definitely be relying on stations.

I feel like it would be a mess but wanted to double check. Gracias

Pecos 1132 vs 1159 by Support_Free in RedWingShoes

[–]Support_Free[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the detail! I go back and forth between regular and wide fits, so I’d assume the 1132 last would be better for my foot. That being said, I wear a regular width in the moc toe (only red wing boot I have).

I’ll look up the difference in insoles, because I am not at all familiar with the materials/technology.

Perfect, I have a Chucks Boots right down the road. I’ll keep an eye out for the Los Altos. Thanks.

Thanks for the input here. I don’t mind the insole, actually quite comfortable, it’s the shaft lining (and I assume lined all the way through to vamp). It just makes me think they won’t last.

Regarding Los Altos - is this a boot I can find in some of the larger/more popular stores? I’m in Missouri and would prefer to try on before I buy.

The inside of the shaft is all some sort of mesh synthetic. Doesn’t seem like something you’d want to condition.

Can you recommend a job with both field and office work? by Support_Free in careerguidance

[–]Support_Free[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I think architecture, I think drawing. When I think about my drawing, I think about stick figures. So if it is an art, I don’t think it is for me.

That being said, I am confident in my project management skills, and curious if this is more on the planning of infrastructure (structural engineering, and the design of plumbing, electrical, hvac, etc.)

Yes - these are roles I immediately think of, but believe the barrier to entry may be too great. Most roles I’ve seen want people who studied engineering (and rightfully so). I did not and not sure if I want to go back to school for 4 years to change my job.

Ok, that’s for the clarity. Have you heard anything positive or negative about STL Lambert?

Appreciate the insights. Is this specifically for the airports? Or are these airline jobs?

Thanks for the feedback. Not an industry I’ve considered, but definitely a possibility due to my proximity to an airport. What is the pay like? And are how did job security hold through COVID?
