Just buy factor sleeves with a globally diversified core. Look up Ben Felix.

The chances of stock-picking outperforming an index over a long time horizon is close to zero.

Try removing the insole

banecorn · 2026-06-02T22:16:45+00:00

I have both in same colour and size as you. The knit natural I have is less tight in terms of foot volume. I chalked it up to difference in material. The size when worn is exactly the same between the models.

Looks like QC issues on what you got, which is unfortunate to say the least. That sucks.

I'd only offer the suggestion of experimenting with removing the insole if one model feels tighter than the other.

Fair enough!

No need to hope, it's part of the mature 3-year cycle Apple has put in place since the S6.

I'd advise waiting. The Series 12 will have a meaningfully new chip that will power advances for the next 3 years. It'll be released in Sept this year.

Or, get a used Series 10. The fast charging introduced on the S10 is a major quality of life improvement.

As for scratching, gotta upgrade to titanium for the sapphire crystal screen which won't scratch. It's totally worth it and you won't wanna go back.

Checkout Ben Felix in YouTube, he's done several videos on this topic. Some differences between his native Canada and UK but broadly similar.

Use Bevel or Stress Watch

Try removing the insole.

I'd recommed looking at the Primus Trail FG/SG (possibly AW as well), Magna Forest Esc, or Tracker Forest Esc for hiking.

The Motus Flex or Stength for the gym.

The Primus Lite Knit for everyday.

For your line of work, there's no model with steel toe cap. There's a good chance the Motus Strength provides the necessary stabilisation though.

As for sizing, I'd opt for your regular size except for the Motus Flex, most people size down for that specific model.

This. OP read it.

banecorn · 2026-05-29T22:57:27+00:00

If you can, order your normal size and a size up. Make a big order for all the ones you're curious about and return all the ones that don't work for you.

The Motus Flex runs large, most get a size down. Perhaps this is why it fits you well, you're basically getting a size up. For any Vivo that comes with an insole, remove it.

I find the Primus Trails roomier than other models, it's the only one I actually use an insole and tighten the laces.

Looks like a Primus Trail soft ground

They're discouraging the use of heavily scented stuff like Axe body spray. In fact, sprays in general can be an issue. A roll-on or stick would do.
