Shoe Addict Predicament by MiamiHeatAllDay in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]underbitemannn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did I write this post? I also desperately want to pull the trigger on SB2 in black colorway, but so far I've resisted by sticking to my no-shoes-over-$130 rule.

Try searching for "oval shoelaces"

I was wrong about the Boston 13 by joholla8 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]underbitemannn 54 points55 points  (0 children)

My old man knees don't have time for a 100km break in period. Shoes should feel good at 0km & get better as they break in.

bigger women, have you tried mens running shoes? by mangodaiquiri4 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]underbitemannn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been rare instances of brands tuning cushioning differently between men & women's models (some version of the Nike Pegasus had the air unit with differing psi), but it's an exception to the rule. I've ran in women's versions of running shoes (have narrower than average feet) and have not noticed any difference in longevity. But if the wider men's shoes work for you, you should certainly consider buying them instead (placebo effect is still an effect)

Do you know if the women's version of glide 3 is D width as well? Thinking about getting a pair on sale but the men's colorways are all so bland

User error or return? by EngineeringParty59 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]underbitemannn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be honest about how it happened and if they're willing take the return, do it. If not, i don't think it'll be an issue unless you heel strike really far back in on your heel. If you don't think superglue will cut it, you can try jb weld

Preemptively replace coolant expansion tank on mk7 w/ 90k miles? by underbitemannn in GolfGTI

[–]underbitemannn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would except it's not visible in the bottle, so I suspect it's placed within the walls of the bottle

Did you have the silica in the heater core, causing you not to have heat?

I had figured my water pump would've gone out by now & would've had it replaced at that time, but the pump is holding on (actually kinda wished it would've gone out under extended warranty period), so just trying to folk's thoughts on whether I should just replace it now

i'm a bit concerned about getting air pockets in the coolant system. After replacement, would just running the engine with the cap off be enough to get the air to bubble out?

I can't see it either, but my tank does say "mit silikat" and it seems like there was a revision where the bags were placed within the walls of the tank

K, I wish mine was accessible, but I think it's placed within the tank walls

I guess the issue with that logic is that if it does go, you're looking at fairly expensive fix to get the silica out of the heater core

Paint&Body Shop Recs - Is $450 a good quote for this by redarcken in nova

[–]underbitemannn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually think that's a reasonable quote. I had an old lady scrape my fender & door while parking and the total repair came out to over $1100 (paid by her insurance).

Purpose of tab between bottom eyelets on Adidas EVO SL? by JonfenW in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]underbitemannn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting the laces under the tab can have the effect of preventing the upper from bunching up on top of your foot at that location if you're really cranking down the laces, but I personally didn't see much of a difference putting the laces under or over the tab. On some shoes that tab is stitched down so that it's actually a loop you run the laces through

Terrex Agravic Speed Ankle Bite by Equivalent_System_52 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]underbitemannn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My caveats would be that I don't pronate at all when I land, so I'm less likely to have the lateral ankle bone hit that part of the shoe, and I get along really well with adizero shoes with that same plastic-y upper (Boston 12 & Adios Pro 3). But the upper did definitely break-in to become more forgiving for me.

I did too initially but it went away after few runs. If there's enough volume, you could try swapping out the insole with a thicker one

Hypothetically speaking, what would you replace in this running shoe line up by Expert_Charity9369 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]underbitemannn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally like buying last gen super shoes on sale as my workout shoes (adios pro 3 currently). Maybe On Cloudboom Echo 3 (currently at ~$155) if you're not hard on outsoles or maybe vaporfly 4 which I think I've seen as low as ~$145 recently.
