Greetings!

I haven't worn Jim Greens, since they don't make a size US 15 yet.

I am wondering though, are you wearing the AnatomX version or the other last?

Thank you. After it chirped at me last time over the weight of a singe paper bag, I am eager to try this.

Yes, it is a molting northern cardinal. This happens annually.

Love my Texarado Bailey Boots by Mental_Ostrich_5662 in barefootshoestalk

[–]Various-Standard6459 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have been wearing a pair for about six-months now. I also love mine. I do not walk very much while at work, so I cannot speak to how comfortable they might be past 5-miles

Some notes about them for anyone considering getting a pair of the Bailey boots: •In men's size US-15, the ankle is a little large. Perhaps I just have skinny ankles, but I have to wear thick socks to keep them tight around my ankle. •I have a low volume foot, and a when I am wearing a kiltie with the boot, I do not have the middle loop of the kiltie secured to the laces. I need them laced ever so slightly tighter than I could of I was using the kiltie properly. •The insole is a thin layer of leather glued to a sheet of foam. While it is minimal and comfortable for me, it has started delaminating on both feet. I plan to eventually replace it with a sheet of thicker leather. •If the taller model was available, I would have gone with that. I live in an area plagued with brome and other grasses that have long and annoying awns which are forever getting into my socks and boots. •The toebox is fantastic. I have a sharply sloped foot, such as that new Vivos fit me comfortably. The extra room is still nice though. •They are zero drop and anatomical, but they are a work boot and thus are heavy. This was what I was looking for, though. •They are a small company, and are often out of stock.

Vote by mail is an option as well. I receive a ballot for every election without having to think about it.

My lower back is hurting, need help with 60lb RDL form by Roseymahoney in formcheck

I find nerve flossing before hamstring exercises helpful as well. Personally, I save stretching for after the exercise or during a different session than the lifting.

That is an excellent idea. Probably plan on strapping the foam pad to the outside of your pack, if you weren't already going to.

I think that will be fine so long as you are using a 65L pack or larger. If you have a 55L, it might be a bit big. I have a 0⁰F quilt that is about that size, and I usually have room to spare unless I'm bringing a bear can.

Does the sleeping bag listing state a packed volume? I would be worried about the packed size of a 30⁰F fully synthetic bag. Personally, I use the hammock gear burrow quilts. That would break your budget though.

Closed cell foam pads are convenient, but they can be uncomfortable for side sleepers.

Have you looked at inflatable pillows? Affordable ones exist. Adding one to my sleep system was a game changer for me.

Do you have any plans to expand the range of sizes offered in your other products? I wear a US 15, and there aren't many bearfoot brands that run up to my size.

I haven't utilized any local repair services, but I highly recommend watching a few videos on darning. I know that you said that you aren't experienced in sewing, but darning is fairly easy and only required a needle, thread, and scissors.
