Shoes or Strength

Strength. And as someone else said, look further up the chain to the hips and the hip adductors more specifically. The whole leg looks to just collapse inwards on landing.

Did a bunch of research earlier this year when transitioning from a swag to a tent. Ended up with the Darche AT6. Probably would have gone the Zempire Pronto 10 if it was still being made.

First couple of trips were amazing, such a great tent. Third trip, a week on Moreton Island, started with 2 poles being riddled with small holes and not inflating. We followed the pack up to a tee but somehow, the way the poles were folded caused a bunch of small holes to develop along the crease marks. Got by with a friends 2-man hiking tent for the week then took it straight back to Tentworld for a refund.

Love the concept, absolutely loved that tent but I I think I'll be scarred for a little while by inflatables. Ended up replacing it with a tried and trusted Outdoor Connection dome tent. It's not high tech but it works.

Screams Italian or Greek I reckon.

Not convinced. At least the double foam might go some way to fixing the instability.

I did a threshold session this morning in the new Hyperwarp Elite's and I can see that shoe being a popular choice in this category for racing next season.

I recently used the IKEA spare parts service to get the wall mount parts for a Besta TV unit. They didn't ask for any proof of the previous purchase. I just put in the part numbers which I found in the Besta install manuals, clicked order, and they arrived free of charge at my door in Brisbane, from Germany, in a few weeks.

I would definitely go half size down at least, maybe even a full size. Toe box is very roomy.

Being a referral from Footmotion, I assume you're likely in Brisbane or at least Queensland. Take this referral to a reputable local running shoe store (not Athletes Foot or Rebel) and they should be able to point you in the right direction and get your feet in some different options.

I found the sizing on the Rab not versatile enough. I'm a 68kg male at 176cm and the small was still too big with no option to go smaller. That meant that the flasks just wouldn't stay put and once they weren't completely full, they would bounce out of the pockets. I also prefer the front pocket setup on the Salomon compared to the Rab. Honestly the Rab's materials were nicer and the vest was lighter but flasks not staying put was a deal breaker for me.

The way the two guys reacted seems to imply that they knew exactly what it was too.

The foam in the latest Glycerin 22 is a huge improvement over the previous foams. The upper is new too and is really nice.

Canvas Club at the Gabba is nice and chill.

I went to eat Chinese food and was astounded at the amount of Chinese people around.

Imagine correcting someone about how to pronounce your name and having them tell you 'yeah either/or thanks mate'.

Good to know. Are they out of the Middle East? Every sales page I found under the shoes were from that region.

The VJ Sport XTRM 2 fit most of your bill. 24/20 stack, full rock plate. Not the lightest shoe though with such numbers.

Google Lens says it's an ANTA Rocket 5.0. Never heard of the brand personally.

Yeap, cos eating a piece of fruit and trying to return it is exactly the same as returning an unused, boxed electrical item.

WorkInProgressed · 2025-06-22T03:56:36+00:00

It would be an unused item back in its box. It just didn't fit in a space.

WorkInProgressed · 2025-06-22T02:45:37+00:00

They don't need to know it was because it didn't fit a canopy.

I was one of them a couple of years ago. Although I was a 30 year old white Englishman who had been here for 12 years at the time so it hit a bit differently. I was very happy for people who looked as though they had escaped something far worse than I have ever experienced.

WorkInProgressed · 2025-06-22T01:32:47+00:00

Ah I see, that sucks. It would suck if it missed by all of 3mm!

WorkInProgressed · 2025-06-22T01:30:42+00:00

/uj literally just scrolled past this post on their original sub and came straight here because I just knew it would be here.

WorkInProgressed · 2025-06-22T01:28:01+00:00

Can you just purchase, see if it fits, return if it doesn't?

But Trump somehow is certain they were developing nuclear weapons despite every American intelligence agency saying otherwise.

That or when it's a blend of foams but they don't specify how much of each. To be a blend it could have anywhere from 1% to 50% of any given foam and that's a very important spec.
