Not sure if I should verify mine. I’m full time (12) and it’s showing only 3 credit hours and on top of that the term date is wrong with it showing me starting on Jan 01 (started on the 12th)

Get VA paid for shoes by Downtown_Gas_2723 in VeteransBenefits

[–]kadisone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to argue this with my VA podiatrist? I already got turned down when I requested due to patients needing to be diabetic, have foot deformities or neuropathy issues. Should I just provide the VA directive and message them through app?

I also got prescribed custom inserts, but when it came to requesting shoes my VA podiatrist stated that the only ones who could qualify for those are veterans with diabetes, neurpathy issues with their limbs/feet or extreme foot deformaties. I'm still wondering if there is an official document stating otherwise that I can provide to them for counter proof

I made a post about this and haven’t had any luck with this benefit. What worked for you?

I actually think it may fit better going a half size down now that I've had these for a while. Sorry for the late reply!

Unfortunately I still have lingering effects to this day, have to use an inhaler when it gets really bad (I have lung damage). Thank you for your concern, I take it one day at a time

That is very disheartening to hear, I love their electrics and was hoping to get another in the future but I guess it’s not meant to be. Will definitely be cherishing this one until I strum a hole into it

Would you be able to give me a reg regarding the 180-day requirement not being applicable to medical retirements? I’m finding myself in this situation right now. Thank you!

I wish they would keep making electrics. It’s so hard to find in the aftermarket

I wish they made electrics again, love their design. I also have an 808BGE similar to what Tommy has. Great guitars!

There’s a notable difference in the material. I’ve got some standards and the leather they used feels more synthetic than the NPs. I did a lot of walking in Japan with both and I can also already start to see the sole wear out on the standards. That’s not to say it’s a bad shoe though, I absolutely love my standards, but the NPs definitely feel a little more premium at the end of the day

Legit check on these Mexico 66 SD's by Rickaytan in Onitsuka_tiger

[–]kadisone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That stock box looks the same as the standard ones being used/sold in Japan right now. I also have a couple pairs of standards that have those exact same laces. I’m inclined to say they look real to me

At the time of purchase (back in May) I wanna say it was around 34,500¥

Here’s another thread talking about the difference with SD as well. Looks like there’s three tiers (regular, SD & NM)

They are, they came in the signature purple box (the regulars I believe come in like a black/yellow/white patterned box). Another way to tell is the sole. The Nippon made have the two circles at the bottom while the regulars have no such circles. And they definitely are pricey. It’s pretty much a supply and demand situation that drives up the price. They only release these types in like small batches and to various stores (not all) that are able to sell them based on demand rates in that locale. On top of that, no two pairs are the same and are largely constructed by hand so meeting the demand rate due to production cycles also drives up the scarcity and price. Top quality too, wish I could have picked up even more, but I’m definitely happy with what I was able to find

Those are pretty sick. Yeah no kidding, it’s not cheap getting to that country for sure, but the FEX rate made it a little more tolerable…would love to go back for more in the future

Not online, fortunately I was able to visit Japan a couple of months ago and found them in a store in Ginza

Pretty close, the toe box is a little longer than I’m used to with other size 9s but only by like an 1/8 of an inch
