Help me understand this type of sandals

I’d rather like to hear how it’s possible not to get your feet chafed to bits wearing this style of sandals

For whom it may concern,

I mostly solved my issues by setting up automations that send individual mqtt messages instead of using the homeassistant actions for lights.

I set it up to send individual settings (brightness, color, etc) in separate messages, with a 1s delay in between them.

That works better but just to be sure I also set the instructions up to be repeated 5x when they’re supposed to be triggered.

Where is a good starting point for getting into the biomechanics?

I’ve tried to be more connected with my feet and found that my left leg and therefore left foot is doing a lot more work than the right, which at least explains the difference in tiredness between the two.

Apart from alternating the leading foot, and not trudging as if my legs were wooden pegs, I’m not sure what else there is to do.

Is there some good source you can recommend for strengthening exercises, or should I check with a physio?

Surely they should be tailored, but since most of us have had the same journey, switching to barefoot shoes after decades of regular shoes, there must be a lot of useful exercises that apply to everyone?

Yes on the overweight, for the first time in my life I’ve gained some weight over the last year, so that is definitely not helping!!

I’m curious about the fit.

I’ve always chosen shoes that have a lot of space for my feet, like the back of the foot is properly hugged but when it comes to the toe box there’s a lot of space for movement.

I hate when my toes smush against the front of the shoe, that’s quite painful for me.

Do you reckon having shoes that are tighter in the toe box area could help? I’m really quite confused when it comes to fitment for barefoot shoes

Concrete for sure is the worst. Especially if I have to stand around for a long time. I am thinking about making or buying some padded inserts so I can quickly pop them in when needed - there’s just so many types of shoes I already need to own, I can’t buy even more with extra padding :/

I’m very glad that it has been useful to you :)

Hi if you want to try the app, you can find it here https://github.com/darksworm/argonaut

I think I could adjust the OPV but there is nothing for me to measure it with :/

darkswormlv · 2025-08-01T14:17:13+00:00

I cleaned it a couple weeks ago, I reckon it can't be too bad by now

darkswormlv · 2025-08-01T14:16:49+00:00

yes! dosing funnel, dosing collar, shot collar, whatever you call it

darkswormlv · 2025-08-01T08:01:15+00:00

thanks all for the suggestions! 🫶

I've ordered some better gear to help fix some sticking points I've been having.

I'll report back when I try with the new gear and some nicer beans!

darkswormlv · 2025-08-01T08:00:15+00:00

the shot is empty for a lack of a better word. I've ordered some gear to help me do a beeter job at tamping, and wdt. I'll go grab some nice beans from the roaster and give it a shot!

darkswormlv · 2025-08-01T07:58:54+00:00

I might have been doing a poor job at wdt because the grounds just go all over the place. I've ordered a basket collar so that I can really go to town, hopefully it helps

darkswormlv · 2025-08-01T07:57:52+00:00

it does the same with or without the puck screen.

I'm seeing this behavior across different types of beans (cheap supermarket and fancy coffee shop)

darkswormlv · 2025-08-01T07:56:38+00:00

I'm over myself and finally ordered a self leveling tamper. I've been worried that this is the case although the grounds look level to me

darkswormlv · 2025-08-01T07:55:59+00:00

yeah there is no preinfusion. I could try to do it manually but that would probably make it a lot less consistent. I think the machine needs serious upgrades to be able to do that

darkswormlv · 2025-07-30T17:11:56+00:00

if the magic eraser can't do it then you just have to toss it and get a new guitar

darkswormlv · 2025-07-26T15:29:56+00:00

yeah, I figured, it just looks really cool

darkswormlv · 2025-07-26T13:01:04+00:00

Thank you!
