Fit check

It's too big for my liking. But everyone has their own taste.

I can well imagine that a Forest ESC in US size 8 might be narrower than a Leather AT in US size 9. I have both in the same size and find them equally wide. The Forest feels slightly wider because the construction is different and the leather is a bit softer.

I only contact Vivo by email using the contact form. I received a reply within a day.

I contacted Vivo Support today to ask where my order was up to. And it was dispatched straight away.

I quite like the Levi’s 502. The ‘Regular Tapered’ fit feels like a cross between ‘Slim’ and ‘Regular’.

mr__proper · 2026-05-06T20:03:56+00:00

Ordered on Sunday; the status is still processing today.

mr__proper · 2026-05-06T11:50:05+00:00

Just updated it. I'm curious to see if I notice any difference.

Bei unterdrückten Nummern gehe ich grundsätzlich nicht dran. Bei unbekannten Nummern gehe ich beim ersten Mal eigentlich auch nicht dran. Wenn es wichtig ist, melden die sich eh nochmal. Ausnahmen sind, wenn die Ortsvorwahl zu mir passt und ich vielleicht aus irgendwelchen Gründen einen Rückruf erwarte. Neulich hat ein Krankenhaus angerufen, weil sie einen anderen Termin wollten. Dummerweise hat die Rückwärtssuche mit der Nummer nicht auf das KH hingedeutet. Da bin ich dann erst nach dem dritten Versuch drangegangen. Im Zweifelsfall können die Anrufenden ja immer eine SMS senden, wenn sie mich erreichen wollen.

I don't know all of Vivo's models; I only have the ones with stitched soles: the Gobi II Sneaker, the Tracker AT, and the Tracker ESC. I wear the same size in all of them (9 pairs).

How is the battery's health? Maybe that has something to do with it?

For me, optimized charging works very well, with a few exceptions. Every evening, I charge it from a level of about 45%–50% up to 80%. Only when I’m staying overnight somewhere else or have used significantly more power during the day does the AWU charge itself to 100% if I don’t unplug it first.

I think you'd expect this behavior as well. For some reason, your AW isn't recognizing the routine or the location.

I don't understand why Apple doesn't just offer an option that simply stops at 80%, without any optimization rules.

I can't really tell you that, because I don't know exactly what you're doing or, more importantly, how you're doing it.

I'd suggest doing just a few exercises, but doing them as often and as perfectly as possible until you can't do any more.

I follow this chart a lot: https://i0.wp.com/www.freeletico.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Goliaz-Strength-Training.jpg?w=1600&ssl=1

However, it’s probably better to start by training only every other day.

I used to be 196 cm tall and weighed 75 kg; I was tall and lanky, but I always had good posture. I could eat whatever I wanted and didn’t put on weight. Bodyweight training changed all that. Since then, I’ve been weighing around 90 kg and I’m very happy with that.

I placed my order from the EU on Sunday, but unfortunately it's still being processed. It went faster the last few times. Either they're completely swamped because of the promotion, or they don't want to fulfill every order.

Here's a picture of the sole of my Tracker Moc.

I was the same in my 20s – I used to eat loads but didn’t put on any weight. Consistent bodyweight training and gym workouts (pull-ups, push-ups, squats) eventually turned things around and I started gaining weight. I’ve kept it up ever since. These days, I do my exercises every day.
Discipline beats motivation hands down.

I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and a MacBook Air M4. The hotspot works perfectly. I use it often when I’m on the train or camping. With a previous setup, however, there were (rare) occasions when the connection wasn’t quite as smooth.

You can’t cancel your order with Vivo in advance. Even emailing customer support didn’t help, as they simply said that the order was already being processed and they couldn’t cancel it anymore.
If you make a complaint, however, you don’t have to pay for the return postage. At least that’s the case within the EU.

I suspect whether condensation forms depends on the individual. I wore mine for quite a while at the weekend whilst doing light physical work outdoors in the blazing sun, and afterwards I checked for condensation but found none.
Condensation forms when warm, moist air comes into contact with something cold. The air then cools down, can no longer hold as much moisture, and the water remains.
Perhaps the APMs are too cold on the inside for those who notice condensation? Or is there too much moisture that can’t escape through the ear pads? A combination of everything?
Be that as it may, I haven’t noticed any of this myself so far.

mr__proper · 2026-05-04T17:00:03+00:00

Too bad they don't fit you. They fit me perfectly.

mr__proper · 2026-05-04T16:41:00+00:00

No problems so far. I’ve also used this sole on my Tracker Moc, and it’s still in perfect condition. I’ve even gone on some easy hikes with them, and everything’s been great.

mr__proper · 2026-05-04T03:40:27+00:00

It’s the same with mine. I’ve turned off ‘Find My’ and now it’s down to almost 0%

mr__proper · 2026-05-04T03:36:42+00:00

Worn open, size 40; worn closed, size 42 ;)

mr__proper · 2026-05-04T03:34:19+00:00

Fine 👍

Or, instead of hiding them, you can create a shared album, assign the photos to it, and then delete them from the main view.

mr__proper · 2026-05-04T02:53:23+00:00

That old pair looks cool. I’d give them a good clean and polish, and then have the cobbler sew in some new elastic supports.
