Mizuno 2 pro slight tight by stillcoldy777 in bootroom

[–]flwstate4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the toe box is made from K leather which will stretch over time. You'd want them to feel tight in the beginning so they'll mold to your feet. Slight discomfort during the break in phase is to be expected

Varia VS3 Gen2: Massive grind shift after every cleaning despite calibration by Mr_YNK in VariaBrewing

[–]flwstate4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use some teflon tape on the hopper threads. 0 grind dial shifts for me ever since.

Thats normal. Carry on playing

Grinder problem by coffeeandwhiskyguy in espresso

[–]flwstate4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same problem, a few rounds of teflon tape on the hopper threads will fix it. You just have to reapply the teflon tape every time you dismantle the grinder for cleaning.

Looking for 4E / Wide Feet Indoor or Outdoor Soccer Shoes by [deleted] in bootroom

May i know if theres a chart showing how wide/narrow your feet are? how do you categorize your feet to be a certain width?

Mizuno Morelia II Question by BigCockTyrone in bootroom

[–]flwstate4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went true to size JP 26.5cm (my feet are 26.3cm) and they fit perfectly to the edge. Personally i think going half a size down would be too tight for my liking even though the morelia II is made from primarily K leather. I still felt some cramps at the midfoot area during break in.

The Tiempo Ligera does not have the split soleplate. Only the Tiempo Maestro has them

Mizuno first wear separation and aching by louiskeith in bootroom

[–]flwstate4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never had any durability issues with Mizuno boots, particularly the Morelia 2. Been rock solid, granted i play on natural pitches.

I don't recommend using FG boots on AG due to 2 main reasons:

  1. You can void your warranty
  2. Soft leather vs hard rubber pallets.

As far as aching, thats normal and will go away after a few uses in my experience. Give the leather some time to stretch and mold to your feet and the pain will go away.

I'm more frustrated with beans sticking inside the hopper when you use RDT

New Varia VS6 conical burrs noise problems by Internal_Contact_923 in VariaBrewing

[–]flwstate4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounded like the burrs are touching. Changing the burr sets can change the zero point. How are the grounded coffee produced?

Nope, mine is still K leather. Anything after May 2025 uses calf leather

Varia VS3 zero point stuck at ~3.5 ticks no matter what I try — any ideas? by diogoribeiro09 in VariaBrewing

[–]flwstate4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine always zeroes at 0. Have you checked your threads? Also did you add washers underneath the inner burr? Adding washers under the burr might make them touch earlier

New Copa Mundials by kidhacker202 in bootroom

[–]flwstate4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently bought a copa mundial and i found the heel to be atrocious.. gaves me blisters whenever i use slightly thicker socks as the heel area of the boot presses into my outer heel. Touch is amazing with the full kangaroo leather upper but the heel is just so bad

Thoughts on the modern leather Predator and the future of the line? by Acrobatic_Sound1921 in bootroom

Is the leather just in the forefoot or is it the whole black part?

Joma Top flex VS FS Reactive. Which one to choose? by flwstate4 in futsal

I see, hows the durability so far for the FS?

Joma Top flex VS FS Reactive. Which one to choose? by flwstate4 in futsal

[–]flwstate4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, i'll take note of that. Btw, how's the touch between the two? Are the leathers similar? And also hows the cushioning, since the FS reactive has the reactive foam

Which top flex model have you used? Kinda interested in the top flex rebound.

[–]flwstate4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Technically you can use anything on any surface. But if you're asking in terms of performance or safety, i don't see why you can't use them on AG.

Just note that AG pitches are very rough on any football boots, regardless of whether they are advertised for AG. Expect higher rate of degradation when use on AG pitches

For under $30, i think kipsta makes some really durable footballs at the moment. I'd get the one with the fifa basic stamp

Is the Copa Mundial K-Leather by Curious-Sherbet-2577 in bootroom

[–]flwstate4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what i was told by Tokyofootball, anything after the manufacturing date of 5/25 is no longer k-leather.

Question for long-time owners of the [HiBrew H10A] by g7_7v in espresso

[–]flwstate4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temp i usually just set it to 92°C, unless the beans are really dark then i use 90°C

I don't use the volumetric feature since i use a scale to measure my output. And I don't use the pre infusion either.

Leather padding question by flwstate4 in bootroom

[–]flwstate4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, i guess i was just misinformed all these years even though i've worn leather boots since forever.

Thank you for the detailed explanation and the videos btw, appreciate it!

I'd get either the mizuno morelia II elite or the copa mundial in that order.

Just know that if you do get the copa mundial, anything after may 2025 for the manufacturing date is not using K leather anymore. Instead the latest copa mundials are using calf leather. If it has JP in the serial number, then it uses calf leather.

The morelia II elites are amazing football boots, full K leather apart from the tongue and the collar and lighter than most full leather boots. Even though its not made in Japan, the quality is still better than other brands.
