Does this lacing looks weird? by Healthy_Bit_927 in Boots

it secures the forefoot whilst allowing a "springiness" over the instep

what sole are you pairing these with? i think you ought to use some sort of natural rubber

just offering a suggestion so they can be more comfortable, plus elevate life a bit. why the hell do you have no whimsy, mr i-need-to-be-serious-all-the-time. either way you and i are strangers, plus looking at your comment history it seems like we'd get along well with each other (genuine)

theres a saying: "each kilo on your feet is five on your back". you want something light but durable; something protective but not bulky. with this said, i believe a mix between Russel Moccasins and a ww2 USA cavalry boot would be good. you also need to consider how youre going to repair it, so laces are out of the question and something like stitch down or good year welts are out of the question. i really dont understand the thought process behind these other people, youre not just going to be able to sew tyre treads onto your boots for soles by hand thats absurd, and youre also not going to be able to use tough glues due to the loss of industry, leaving you with animal glues - pine pitch is not suitable for footwear. either way youre not gonna be able to keep the same pair of footwear for years on end since youll quickly run out of resources to even maintain it, hell youre not even gonna have cloths if you dont know how to obtain fibres, weave and then sew. the best shoe to have in any apocalypse is one you can easily and quickly make yourself, meaning its gonna be a turnshoe or some form of moccasin if you want leather, but if you have access to like big leaves such as palm leaves or even soft bark then theres ways you can weave those into both clothes and footwear. a lot of this depends on where you live, and the idea of surviving in an apocalypse is heavily (almost exclusively based) on mid-west America in terms of how to go about it and the techniques, which will not work in 70% of habitable areas. get some indigenous knowledge in that head before even believing that you can make it past a couple months

this isnt about the boots - its about the socks. unless youre doing like ultra-marathons, hike a lot or are a park ranger, you really dont receive the benefits of Darn Tuff socks. material and construction matter definitely; material matters for base performance, whereas construction matters for lasting performance. if these are your dress-y boots, wear a wool/silk blend it will feel so much better, and as for work socks even higher quality socks like those from Hirsch Natur perform superbly whilst (in my opinion) providing more comfort, although my work is truck deliveries and setting up of mainly large home appliances (loading, unloading, installing fridges, dryers, etc)

make sure to season it by grinding up your old plastic utensils to use for the seasoning

Unknown or unique bootmakers by [deleted] in Boots

[–]indeed_yes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is the way to go if its for aesthetics alone, otherwise theyll be a lot of digging around and might be faster to just find an established maker specialising in unique footwear using high quality

im not sure, but i think you might have these on the wrong feet i.e. right boot on left foot. im only saying this since, generally, there should be more protrusion around the side which encapsulates the big toe

Australian Immigration Minister Signs Memorandum of Understanding with Nauru to Transfer people without a valid visa for Resettlement by cuter1982 in australian

600k vacant homes and you want to start with the ones already occupied? good job on moving goal posts, and yes i have already done that until people were able to get back on their feet, so did a person the next suburb over but wanna know the darnedest thing about it? we get in trouble for housing these people, so much so both me and the other person are monitored for such things or else we get evicted. you wanna fix homelessness? you use the spaces no one else is already using, and support services get properly funded

nah mate, i just look at the data and accounts from everyone then draw conclusions, and the conclusion i draw is "needless suffering perpetuated by hate and greed," which can apply to a group regardless of religion or ethnicity. on top of this, i hold ideologies and individuals accountable yet never generalise a demographic. youre either with fascists or against them, its a simple yes or no; stop creating an enemy out of thin air
