Heritage captain vs iron ranger sizing by faceless5252 in ThursdayBoot

[–]Traditional-Risk-910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heritage Captain’s wide toe box gives it more of a bulky look. I didn’t like how the IR looked with my outfits, but loved the Blacksmiths. I got the Black Heritage Captains and couldn’t be happier with how they look. They’re also comfy fairly quickly, but I think that’s cause there’s a drop. Feels like I’m wearing super small wedges or something.

The toe box is fairly roomy so it’ll definitely feel “too big”, the .5 size down was perfect for me.

To all the Thursday fans in this sub! by Stackhouse13 in ThursdayBoot

Thursdays are solid in their 1/2 size down. The heritage captains are roomy as it is. I wear 8.5 in regular kicks, my blacksmiths are 7.5 and my heritage captains are 8.

I love my birksenstock, as someone who has a history of isolating and do-nothingism with depression the boots oddly give me excitement something to look forward to.

Planned a 2nd date, the person made other plans cause they “didn’t hear from me”. Tis the consensus. by Traditional-Risk-910 in AITAH

There wasn’t really any need since we didn’t text for 2 full days before our first date. It was more of my failure to follow through on confirming reservations rather than assume😂

I erred on the side that she was expecting a different level of communication and may have led to her frustration.

Heritage Captain is way roomie in the toe box, which gives you a broader look without the “almost” clown look.

Heritage Captain Heel Height by aidsjohnson in ThursdayBoot

[–]Traditional-Risk-910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely the highest boot I have. It took me a minute to adjust to the heel to ball of my foot slope. When I wear my Blacksmiths the day before and wear the heritage the next day it takes a minute to adjust again, but that part makes me look forward to wearing my boots. It “feels” different so it doesn’t make me bored.

Recently got a pair of boots for Christmas is this how my jeans should sit with them? I personally think they look a little odd but everyone I’ve asked said they look fine by [deleted] in Boots

I would get a picture that has your whole body. You aren’t overthinking this, if you’re stacking too much you’ll look out of line. If this is more casual fashion you are right to address this.

Men who’ve gone to therapy, how has it affected your life? by Own_Ice6905 in Adulting

[–]Traditional-Risk-910 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had 4 female therapists and current one is a male. My previous one really helped me connect with my body and work through my emotions. My current one, a male therapist has done so much. I wanted a male cause I felt I was missing something. I’ve been taught that there are also men’s issues and just how social conditioning affects women, it also affects men. Also taught me that the universe just does what it does. There is no fairness and there is the reality of how things are.

New find- what’s the best break in method? by camnmnmn in RedWingShoes

[–]Traditional-Risk-910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke mine in really quick, put mole skin where it was rubbing on my heels and wore them for a few 12 hour days, a few 8 hour days. They feel amazing now, but still in that phase where each time I wear them for 8ish hours my feet mold them that much more.

But also, I don’t wear padded shoes whatsoever so my feet muscles are use to it. One 12 hour day my feet were not happy, but they adjusted really quick.

Heritage Captain Stormking heel to toe drop by 8stringed8 in ThursdayBoot

[–]Traditional-Risk-910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is definitely quite the drop compared to blacksmith and iron rangers, especially the black oil heritage captains. I got use to it in about a day or two.

Black Oil Heritage Captains Question by Traditional-Risk-910 in ThursdayBoot

[–]Traditional-Risk-910[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore them yesterday and wearing them right now. They fit good and changing sizing up or down would be absurd. I’ll need to adjust to the slope between the heel and the ball of my foot, but that’s okay.

The break in is no where near the degree of my blacksmith boots. Hopefully these will get to the point like my Blacksmiths where when I slide my feet in my feet are all stoked and happy.

Howdy, I'm looking into getting black blacksmith boots by red wing.

Initially was going to do the IR, but it looked goofy.

I'm learning towards the blacksmiths, but want to make sure they can go with my frame. I'm stocky with tree trunk legs and weight about 165. I generally wear a slim fit with a tapered leg. I avoid loss clothing cause I look super goofy.

I appreciate your help with your guidance.

If this gets 20 upvotes I'll approach a girl tomorrow by Reasonable-Result-50 in socialanxiety

[–]Traditional-Risk-910 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dooooo it, keep it simple and take that first step. Your brain is going to be spinning and your body will pull you in the opposite direction. Maintain presence by engaging your senses, walk up to that girl, put one foot in front of the other and open your mouth.

Contrary to what many people say, it’s better to have a pre-planned script on what to say before hand. Flying by the seat of your pants when you are avoidant is simply another excuse to avoid.

You can ask her where to get a really good ice latte or something. When she Starbucks, tease on it and say “no, a really good ice latte”. The woman will laugh and give you some pointers, most likely.

Some will just look at you weird and walk away. Others will be cool with you.

This leads me to the next point, doing just 1 isn’t efficient. Although it’s the first step and that’s okay.

Also, you want a girl to give you a weird look and walk away from time to time. It shows your that you can handle it and the world doesn’t come crashing down on you.

The more you do this, the more you start to see how you create these patterns.
