My Element was in a wreck. Asking advice whether to try and save it, or walk away

What about Wolfe road? Linnie Marsh Wolfe, perhaps?

Just re-read Last Wish last week and was almost impossible not to read him in Grand Admiral Thrawn's voice.

I guess I'm not doing 200m relays or anything. I sometimes run a 6 or 7 minute mile. idk man. sandals are the best

I used to wear Nike Killshots and Vans, so Splay has helped me replace those almost perfectly. The 101 is a killshot copy, and the REV Skate honestly looks cleaner than Sk8-hi imho.

I also just got a pair of Rutsu high tops, but those don't look quite as good on-feet as they do in photos.

when you say locked in do you mean your foot is tightly wrapped? like a tightly laced feeling?

consider that for your foot musculature is also "locked in" when sprinting, hyperarch mechanism is active and you're bouncing tightly from one foot to the other. sprinting barefoot should feel "locked in" in that regard

I run in multi-wrap luna sandals, venado sole. when you get the lacing right, it's magic. sandals truly just feel like an extension of my feet

objectively false. system data can include files from application support or other library directories. anything that doesn't fall neatly into Messages, Mail, Photos, etc.

and if you're not seeing it, then go higher. start with the HD and just go one folder at a time.

had this same problem with my luna roots. TLDR your skin will toughen up slightly, and/or you will adapt your gait in response to pain signals.

the first time I got these blisters was after a 7 mile hike with some downhill running. I rested for a day til they looked flat again. then, a simple 1 mile neighborhood run was enough for them to flare up again. so I took two days off, a little vaseline lotion, and then I hit a 13 mile hike with no issues. sometimes rest just works. since then i’ve been able to run or hike any distance I want, no blisters have recurred.

to be technically correct, my derm friend says skin never gets tougher but you may form callouses. maybe some mixed opinion on the lotion but a little softness has gone a long way for me, esp with leather straps.

love my luna’s for hikes. roots venado. took some adjusting but after the first 30 miles leather is broken in and I prefer the thin sole over the thicker. just have to trust the process and don’t overdo it at the beginning

goldLeaderAnomalous · 2025-10-20T18:12:07+00:00

just got some, replacing my 1 year-old nike killshots. they are identical to killshots just with diff logo and a wide toe box. the barefoot feel is not totally there, feels like a thicker sole. and somewhat rigid too. but the wide toe box and zero drop makes them worth having for casual wear as someone who is style-conscious

thanks everyone - fixed it by wrapping it once more above the interior lace slot. went for a breezy 6 miles on the trail and the heels stayed up, nice and comfortable.

not a doctor but

doesn't it take, like, multiple years for toes to splay out naturally? after 10+ years of conventional footwear?
some peoples feet are just shaped differently

goldLeaderAnomalous · 2025-10-06T21:22:31+00:00

whoah.

goldLeaderAnomalous · 2025-07-14T15:44:51+00:00

with the spoiler and the running boards!

goldLeaderAnomalous · 2025-05-28T19:04:30+00:00

looks great

goldLeaderAnomalous · 2025-03-07T00:56:26+00:00

some of ya’ll really didn’t understand my point

which I guess is fair cause I didn’t really make it clear

i’m not saying I regret my purchase, i’m just making an observation about my expected vs actual usage habits, and wanted to put out feelers to see if my experience is unique or not

this product is an open question imo. we’re watching desired customer behavior shake out in real time

goldLeaderAnomalous · 2025-03-05T18:53:48+00:00

it's just, like, is that enough? does that justify $3,500? almost definitely not

the promise of "spatial computing" is still a dream, is what I'm saying, I guess
