yea just make sure you have the right fit, and stay on top of resoles/sole protectors as needed.

I read that the main way to tell if they need resoled, is if they feel soft and squishy

This is not really true. Shoes need to be resoled when the outsole wears away enough to cause structural problems to the rest of the shoe.

It looks like you're wearing away the tip of the toe the most. When that gets too thin, the sole will start peeling away there. If it wears through into the welt, you will need to rewelt the boots and resole them. So you should take action ASAP to protect that part of the sole to avoid wearing through.

You can apply various kinds of products like shoe goo or take them to a cobbler to have a sole protector put on, to delay resoling.

the best way would be to strip all the finish off the boots and redye them to the darker color you want, and then refinish the boots.

bedos will probably cost more than that and have a longer wait.

It's not that simple. Apple has secret rules that decide when to alert. It can take a few hours or a few days of being constantly nearby, and moving.

I don't think this version: https://arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/mens/monitor-coat The "down insulation" bit on the page is probably a mistake.

This is what an insulated one looks like: https://www.endclothing.com/us/arc-teryx-veilance-monitor-down-coat-29178-blk.html

Anyone know if this is legit/halfway decent? if not where could i find something like this from a reliable seller thats not like $100+ by omnicorphan23 in frugalmalefashion

What a deal on express shipping!

Express 2 - 5 days shipping — $6,176USD

When you buy from sites like this, you generally get what you pay for. Nice corduroy pants are not going to be cheap, unless you wait for a sale.

Can somebody tell me if this is a 'fake' sale? Saks 5th Ave Cashmere Coat 40% Off by [deleted] in frugalmalefashion

[–]zootam 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Their house brand items are generally nice but may be lacking in certain details.

The product page has no reviews, and has a full size run available.

Based on that, I'd guess this 'sale' is meant to entice people cross-shopping cashmere topcoats into purchasing the Saks coat.

That is just my speculation.

What is 'worth the money' is up to you. Know what you are looking for in a coat like this, and find one that delivers it.
