SAS shoes are pretty good albeit a bit of a grandma shoe

Not so much scripted as just I can logically follow where I was to where I am and infer where I’m going next. There’s surprises to be sure but there’s only so many way things can happen given the parameters of a story you’re very familiar with

Jamie Lee Curtis in Trading Places

In a apples and oranges sort of way yes the same number size can mean a difference that large. What I mean is your size in say athletic type shoes might be different than the same number size of espedrille or stiletto. It seems the seller is trying to have one number represent several dimensions which doesn’t really help anything since it still means the bigger the number the bigger the shoe.

And yes absolutely those can be stretched. The tool we use is a vaguely foot shaped form usually made of wood with a large screw that when cranked down will separate the sections of the form to increase the volume it takes up. After I’ve put the shoe under tension I’ll wet the shoe down with a solution that allows the leather to become more pliable without staining anything. If you just need that one strap to give a bit more than it shouldn’t be too much of a problem but if its the wrong size it going to stay the wrong size no matter what you do.

Shoe size contrary to common belief is not formalized between brands and usually only refers to the shoe length not its width or volume. In my experience as a cobbler shoe size is largely a suggestion. It is possible to stretch shoes, some better than others but the attempt certainly can made. End of the day If its the wrong size your body will tell you

Big changes are always scary but courage is not the absence of fear, it is the will to move past your fear to claim your new future. You clearly have that strength being able to talk about how you feel with us. You got this and good luck

More evidence that confirms my personal theory that I do have at least a touch of ADHD. Not sure going through the whole process of diagnosis would help me any though

How were you diagnosed? I’ve experienced a similar difficulty keeping a consistent sleep schedule but I’d always assumed it was screen related

And she wonders why people hate her guts

Awww is little drunky dumbass scared of consequences?

If they weren’t scared those notoriously stingy bastards wouldn’t have spent all that cash trying to maintain their power

Okay so are you going to do something about it or are we going to see “Kentucky Republican criticizes party over ____” again next week?

Nothing in that photo looks real. The backround looks like a greenscreen, the horse looks like a prop and she somehow looks AI generated

No belt loop on this one, I just wanted a cover for it to better keep it clean while its knocking about in my pocket or backpack. That said its a good starter project

Not going to be of much help with sourcing this because all the pieces I used were what has been laying around my shoe shop for at least a decade at this point. I will say a scalpel wouldnt be the first knife I’d reach for. I find that its less about how sharp the blade is and more about the shape of it. The point of the blade especially is what I notice doing more of the cutting

Cheap retractable razor knives are what I use to cut it but I’ll take a few passes as well, I find I get much cleaner results that way. This is only about 8oz leather so not super thick either. Maybe its because the black leather there has a kinda plasticky finish on it and that’ll leave a super clean line even after beveling the edges and burnishing?

Aldi uses the quarter thing here too, surprisingly effective for us apparently. At least in my own experience I don’t see Aldi carts just hanging around often

Says the asshole who never actually uses the products vibe coding produces

Seems a proof of the shopping cart theory to me
