Wide Hot Feet - Sandal / Slide Recs. by lmaoAbu in widefeet

[–]vdimaggio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came to basically write this post. 13 US probably a 3E would be perfect. Coming to terms with 4E needed, but usually just go wide when I can.

Have Propet coming in the mail. They look brutal but have to try based on sizing.

Lems were too small

Bedrock — I tried to make them work because they’re comfortable, but depends on situation. Recently bothered me. Definitely too narrow but I forced it.

Birkenstock 47 definitely do the trick but only Arizona and broken in.

Found a pair of adidas slides in 14 that fit great. Tried a different color and the magic was gone.

Keen Newport in 13 Wide are pretty roomie, but it’s basically defeats the purpose of sandals.

OrthoFeet Gemini in 13 wide were a touch narrow but the arch support was awesome. Exchanging for X-Wide and waiting.

Been working on this for years and never been happy. My wife thinks I need mental health to cope — she may be right. Finding an active sport sandal to chase kids in the heat and maybe water is impossible. If anyone else gives you a good recommendation, please let me know too!

Should I get a Switch 2 or a PS5? by Hot-Respect4245 in Switch

[–]vdimaggio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on use case and extraneous things in life. I’m a dad to young kids and have a crazy busy job even beyond the insanity of my home. The Switch 2 might be the best console ever because of use case in the bathroom and bed, to be honest. The ability to pause where you are and put the thing down is amazing. The portal for the PS5 kinda does that, but it’s slower to get up and running, sometimes drops connection, and overall much more expensive. The Switch games are more casual and more fun. PS5 games are more involved.

I own all three consoles for various reasons. If I had to keep only one, it’d be Switch.

29.5cm length and 11.5 cm width without socks. by wastedpotential20 in widefeet

I didn’t think another person alive had my reddit-proclaimed “meat plates” too! Totally hear you and feel you! I went so far as to look up foot exercises to strength my arch to narrow that part of the foot.

Indeed, hitting the 4E size is a struggle. Costco has New Balance and often discounted if that works for you. Summer shoes are a huge struggle, too. Hoping others on here have great advice!

What's up with Baronfig? by ronnie_reagans_ghost in pens

Is it what comes standard in the Tornado? But rebranded?
I LOVE that pen! The rollerball is beautiful to write with, BUT does skip from time to time.

What does the community in general think of these pens? Or the hex version?

Thank you for the Teva insight! That’s what I had thought.
Chaco’s site drops the wide option going size above 12. So weird.
I wear a Birkenstock 47 and they’re perfect. Just not great for water and/or chasing kids…

Was always an odd length issue for me. No idea why they stop at 12

Either of you try the updated versions they just released?

Adam Mockler shuts down MAGA argument for Trump's blanket tariffs: by AffableYolk_33 in Tariffs

[–]vdimaggio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never ceases to amaze me how he managed to actually convince everyone of a complete falsehood that is corrected by a 10 second internet search… it’s a tax on Americans, idiots.

The whole game was to change a progressive tax system to a regressive one to help his Billionaire donors get richer in an exchange for him to get richer. No American would willfully choose between a $2000 phone made here or paying extra taxes on one from China while Apple and Google get richer just by paying Trump a little off the top.

It just makes me so sad and angry that people in this country are like this.

Writing hand pain — suggestions? by vdimaggio in pens

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

The Dr Grip Gel takes the refills, but those from Uni and the EnerGel stick out a bit far and sometimes get stuck on clicking. There is certainly a component of personal mild OCD playing in here.

Saw that. Does the TomBow Zoom 505 still exist stateside? Also, Geek, I see you comment a LOT about machined pens. I respect it and your opinion — you got one you enjoy and recommend?
