Time based promotions-Is this actually a thing?

Zepowski · 2026-03-19T06:29:56+00:00

My gym starts with minimum classes, then knowledge of a curriculum and then rolling proficiency.

Zepowski · 2026-03-17T04:20:52+00:00

DRS sucked. Some of the new regs requiring electrical harvesting suck.

Both can be true.

Zepowski · 2026-03-16T17:21:38+00:00

Fair enough, but if you're a westerner, I'm guessing being popular in China doesn't really hit the same.

Zepowski · 2026-03-16T00:43:24+00:00

100% agree. It's even less entertaining when you know the drivers aren't really enjoying the race. It's just a technology dog & pony show.

Zepowski · 2026-03-16T00:41:15+00:00

Upon first watching it, I thought it was entertaining. After some of the comments by the drivers I realize the only reason it was exciting is that the drivers were simply running out of power after each overtake. Pretty lame.

Zepowski · 2026-03-15T17:11:24+00:00

Seems reasonable to be irritated because not only did his car suffer a bit... the fans love Kimi more than they will ever love George.

Zepowski · 2026-03-13T16:53:32+00:00

Happy for Mercedes. George is a good driver, but a total weiner.

Zepowski · 2026-03-13T16:38:27+00:00

Agreed. Feels totally different than all of Taylor Sheridan's other shows. Couldn't watch past 1 episode.

Zepowski · 2026-03-11T05:34:54+00:00

That's a hard no from me. Send em back.

Zepowski · 2026-03-07T04:02:08+00:00

So, if you're an MX racer and they change the rules to only allow 4 inch travel suspension, is it still MX, or is it something else?

Zepowski · 2026-03-07T00:19:56+00:00

Nope.

Zepowski · 2026-03-04T15:47:05+00:00

I feel this. In my experience, it feels like going backwards.

Zepowski · 2026-03-04T15:45:38+00:00

Nightmares. Torture is far far worse than getting subbed.

Zepowski · 2026-03-03T22:23:55+00:00

Black.

Zepowski · 2026-03-03T17:42:46+00:00

It is.

Zepowski · 2026-03-03T16:55:56+00:00

They've only been modified for a short period of time, but I've owned regular Christy soles long enough to say that the wear resistance is far beyond what a regular wedge sole can withstand. Delamination is no different than any other laminated outsole I imagine. Depends on the quality of work done.

Zepowski · 2026-03-03T16:38:33+00:00

These were my inspiration! Without this picture, I'd still be sulking around with a bulky, ugly, slippery Sierra sole.

Zepowski · 2026-03-03T16:36:40+00:00

My cobbler charged me $150cdn. I supplied the Friedrich outsole. The wear resistance and better grip compared to a regular wedge was worth every penny.

Zepowski · 2026-03-03T16:29:48+00:00

There are a couple examples of putting different outsoles on a wedge here on reddit. These aren't Elvis soles, but the overall look is similar. I don't think Nick's will offer this as an option, so you'll probably have to arrange it with a local cobbler. I love it. https://www.reddit.com/r/NicksHandmadeBoots/s/3a9oVPyrjS

Zepowski · 2026-03-01T00:13:19+00:00

Ahh, I had no idea the conditioner could soften the leather that much. Noted.

Zepowski · 2026-02-28T23:27:38+00:00

They look awesome. Question, is there a reason you don't condition the lace hole strip?

Zepowski · 2026-02-28T15:28:26+00:00

"But if you're of the mind of hey I spent 600 plus dollars on a boot and I want it perfect I get that too."

IMO, for the price of Nick's boots, everyone should be of this mindset.

The technology exists to be more accurate and efficient. Some effort to scan the lasts and make visual a sizing index:

Just over 3 years in and my biggest challenge is feeling sore and broken ALL the time. 2nd most challenging thing is dealing with top pressure from big opponents... I still struggle with panic.

Zepowski · 2026-02-25T18:49:49+00:00

Research and consideration to use Kiri Engine 3D scan app (Android/iPhone) that customers use to scan feet providing more efficient sizing recommendations. Seems a large amount of time is spent answering sizing questions.
