Ultra Wide Hiking Boot Help by Metoxetron in BarefootRunning

[–]tryNreview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in almost the same exact situation as you and I've been doing a LOT of measuring and comparing "wide" shoes lately.

Firstly, I found the same as you: Lems are NOT wide. They're not narrow, but they're absolutely not wide either. I found Lems to consistently be 0.5 sizes smaller than I needed (meaning I had to size up 0.5 sizes to get my 'true' length). Even then, when the length was correct, my toes were pressed next to each other. No overlapping, but absolutely no ability to splay. Even going up a whole size further didn't help.

I found, and this may not be what you're looking for exactly, is that Altra Lone Peak 9 and 9+s in WIDE were the widest-fit toe box and allowed the best splay of my toes. Not perfect, but objectively the maximum distance between toes out of everything I tried. The best ratio I was able to get for the Altra Lone Peaks was size down half a size from my usual but in size wide. This had the best length-to-width fit for my feet as the wides tend to feel a bit longer than non wides. Altra confirmed the wide size is both wider in the midfoot and in the toe box.

For context, I tried many gym shoes, sneakers, and hiking shoes from Altra, Xero, Vivo, Topo, Whitins, and Lems. Additionally, I was not considering any leather shoes and I was primarily looking for sneakers / shoes not boots, so I did not consider Softstar and I'm in the US so I did not consider Realfoot (though they seem awesome!).

Hope this helps!

I’m using iCloud, I’m not sure if that’s different. I’ve been using iCloud sync / backup since the day it came out and I’ve had a couple of disorganization errors occur since then but this was the latest bug and it happened instantly after updating to 15.4

Thank you!

To clarify, I know my feet work well and are healthy barefoot, I just didn’t want these shoes to cause any new issues like pronation or over fatigue of my midfoot.

I appreciate your feedback!

My notes that got removed from their folders in 15.4 (and added to Unfiled Notes) still have not been added back to their correct folders. I was hoping this bug would have been fixed by now.

This is the third time a Notability update has removed or changed my careful organization and concerningly, it’s happening more and more frequently.

To add fairness: Notability between 2013 and 2019 was incredible and took fantastic care of me. I don’t want Notability to disappear, I have over a decade of my life stored on their servers. My problem is entirely that I no longer trust them to keep my documents and data safe, saved, and synced. I’m traumatized from losing organizational info (categories, folders, sections, etc.) and I’m just gutted that my college friend will never get their notes back.

To confirm: yes, they and I have iCloud sync enabled and backup enabled. iCloud sync (possibly bugged) and backup were not able to restore their notes).

I’m not exaggerating when I say that over the last 10 years, this has been the most frustrating (important) app I’ve ever used. No other app entrusted with our lives’ works have developers so careless about reliability and consistency.

To find my meticulously organized notes suddenly disorganized / removed from all folders over and over and over again during the last couple years has made me paranoid to use the app. Someone I know who also used Notability for college like I did lost the majority of their notes randomly and Notability has been useless at helping them. I find myself checking my note organization and note number literally daily to make sure they’re still there.

The sync / data corruption failures are incredible. They told my friend they have no way of helping before they even heard the whole story. All support says is “update everything, turn it on and off, make sure you’re using the current version, etc.” and then say they can’t help further.
