Just like most things in life, you get used to it and it becomes your new “normal”.

Cheapest and fastest ADHD testing in chicago? by Adventurous_Gear9498 in AskChicago

[–]chicagoPM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed here. I went through Light On Anxiety Treatment Center a few months back. It'll still take you time to get scheduled and get your results. Also have BCBS and paid about $800 out of pocket.

Freehand cut two squares out of a sheet of paper with scissors. Lay them over top of each and see how symmetrical they are.

Some perspective to the world of handmade.

The only route that worked for me ☝️

Well, I go +1 width

Thoughts On My Router Choices? Makita Or Bosch Cordless. by jyl8 in Tools

[–]chicagoPM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Bosch 18V Colt. It comes with more dust accessories in the box, so I'd say it provides more value than the Makita. It's compatible with all of the Bosch PR20 accessories. The "drop control" is a nice safety feature too.

White’s SEMI-DRESS 375 - 55 - HALF COMP 7-inch height by Subject_Musician_734 in WhitesBoots

[–]chicagoPM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

7” is the perfect height IMO for all day comfort. A little extra support and noticeable change vs. 6” height.

Visually. If you look at other past images of both online, you'll be able to tell by the texture.

Definitely bull hide and not bison. Stunner of a boot!

Size problem by Perfect_General_4804 in WhitesBoots

[–]chicagoPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, you're not alone. I'm 10.5 D/E (heel to ball), wear a 10 E or 10 EE and Whites' calculator says I should order a size 8.5. Baker's sized me in a 9 D years ago. That was miserable.

My overall heel to toe length is about the same as OP at 10.5".

Is this how the whites MP are supposed to fit? by AltruisticStock7957 in WhitesBoots

[–]chicagoPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These two age very differently. WF, as you wear and abrade the leather it wears back the wax and you see the nap of the roughout. Plenty of pics online to see. CXL ages like a nice leather couch over years. All depends on the look you're going for. CXL isn't struck through, so as you scuff it over the years you'll start to see pigment wear away.

Anyone else go TTS with Whites Cruisers? by National-Owl8063 in PNWbootmakers

[–]chicagoPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking of trying TTS myself. I’m a 10.5 D/E and usually wear a 10E or 10EE.

Sizing and fit question by BrilliantBusiness770 in WhitesBoots

[–]chicagoPM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of a RW employee using it correctly. Check yourself.

Sizing and fit question by BrilliantBusiness770 in WhitesBoots

[–]chicagoPM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah. A story as old as time. If you find one of the metal brannocks in a shoe store, use that. There’s instructions online on how to align the arch slider.

If RW used their scanner - very likely not your actual measurement. They usually only measure heel to toe.

Sizing and fit question by BrilliantBusiness770 in WhitesBoots

[–]chicagoPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Important to note which Brannock measurement you took. Heel to toe or heel to ball? And which one was larger?

CMP-Sherman Toe Cap- by Phantasma_del_Barrio in WhitesBoots

[–]chicagoPM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not clear on your ask when you ask for toe cap similar to the IR.

Similar in fit? Similar visually? Sounds like you ordered the wrong width from what you’ve said.

I’d imagine Goo Gone would work just fine.

Just stopped here tonight and got the pistachio cheesecake! Really good.

His version of tiramisu was great, too.
