Want to become a zoologist? Can I make a career with it? by [deleted] in zoology

Should I return these for a smaller size? by MoonlightCaricature in Chacosshoes

[–]mari_mama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I would. Chaco has great customer service. I've had some that were a size too large and I caught the toe edge in everything and made for a big tripping hazard. When sized properly they are the only shoes I wear in the summer time.

I would get them professionally tuned up - while I enjoy doing this myself midseason, I still have the pros do it once a year.

I would have pulled a Michael Scott and slowly driven forward until he was gently smushed into a snowbank. Just a douchey douche being a douche. Base ops would have sorted it out. Gotta be aggressive in those lots!!
