This will not be limited to that particular subject, o' course. Maybe I should add more stuff here later for people to read. Where's the search part where it says Cottagecore or Moody Academia? I think some of those other channels hide my critical comments when they are just promoting some product.

Under for the thing is shaped like a slide. Under heel alll the way forward. It should be flat under the heel, slanted in the waist, sprung in the toe. I think they Frankenstein’d an existing last, raising the heel and slanting the whole shape forward.

Now they've introduced the alternate similar Thunder ones with the flared heels instead? I still don't have enough time in for proper Wear Review, but if you're REALLY on the market for PNW, then you should likely invest there instead.

Are these more comfortable than thorogood moc toes?
@Highland_Paddy
@Highland_Paddy 5 дней назад
If ye get the right fit ye may neigh find them as discomfortable as I did with the narrow shape, but the inner sole cushioning is nowhere near as spongy as the Thoro, even w' Thirsty kinda known for overall comfort compared to leather insole boots like Red Wing. Yes, the other brand costs more and has the thinner or more pliant tumbled leather, so they're neigh considered the Fashion brand, so it can depend why ye want them, etc., but one could still use the Diplo for work boots more than some their other models, I suppose, because the leather is stiff enough and depends on the type of work. But I would need them at least two half-sizes bigger or possibly wide width. Thoro ye may still wish a wide width, especially if getting Steel Toe option. I have vids about them that I ordered on accident last year, but they don't really need break-in but some don't like walking in wedge soles at all, either. An adjustment maybe. I usually suggest ordering two sizes and returning the odd one for best fit if can't try on in store first, but Thoro ran more true to size for me.

My guess is they will be tight. Since they have no wide sizes, you may even need a 12, but it sounds like everyone is experiencing about 2 week delivery instead of the usual, which I guess is not too bad unless you need to do an exchange, that I have no idea how long might take.

20:48 just might be the most ignorant things I've heard come out of a human mouth. Mexicans CREATED the cowboy boot and cowboy/rodeo culture as everyone knows it today. I could go on and on but I know I'm speaking at a hollow wall. Most "USA" made boots that are high quality are made quite literally across the street from the factories ariat and everyone else have. Same workers, same everything, just a few hundred feet away so that they can charge an extra $100 to fool people like you

@Highland_Paddy
@Highland_Paddy Месяц назад
I haven't noticed that issue as much with the Nick's overall, but I haven't tried wearing them all day yet, either. I wore the White's for about half a day but was mostly in the car and not doing anything where I had to walk a lot, but I still don't care as much for that foot shape that whichever guy recommended I would prefer wide size was maybe correct, but I see in the OT boots that a wider front also means a MUCH wider heel that can be more problematic in some other ways, so who knows? I got the other boots and did those other new vids more recently now.
@AJ-by6pd

Why they would put that outsole on that boot? It doesn’t make much sense. Then again, the only boot design I like from Grant Stone is their Diesel Boot.

It's definitely modeled after a traditional upland hunt boot, but could be resoled. And it's nearly MocToeBer, so maybe you'll get in the SPIRIT after all!
@paulgarcia1566
@paulgarcia1566 Месяц назад
So in your opinion which line is best value?
@Highland_Paddy
@Highland_Paddy Месяц назад
Unfortunately, it's neigh just one-size fits all answer. If you REALLY need vintage spec because you are in a throwback band or if you just love the nitro finish and won't play the poly-urethane, then it won't matter that the vintage USA cost way more than the Vintera because that is the only one you'll want. [The nitro finish will age more "gracefully" or handle damage better?] If all you can afford is the MIM, then rest assured that it will function pretty well and the price is charted as being the most consistent for "value" even if a Standard Fender in the old days cost three times as much in today's dollars. The old time Fenders were less Quality Control consistent overall than today's guitars. But if you want the modern neck and the lighter body and can afford the Pro model and the poly finish doesn't bother you, the USA Pro range still might edge out the MIM for this or that reason, even if his percentage chart doesn't account whatever intangibles into the added cost. [Is sound also a thing, that 60s and 50s sound different, too? The cost of the pickups and the sound of the pickups that is worth the extra $150 or $300 or whatever?] I think I said somewhere that the new Performer Tele wasn't necessarily a huge upgrade from the old MIM, but it was also a sale price and pretty much the simple guitar I wanted, but also missing some features I DO want, so the Mod Shop might still be the better guitar eventually than the Pro model if still NOT the better "value". So, annoying as it sounds, it's still a bit subjective at the end the day. Naturally, if possible, try two or three [or five] before deciding upon one or two, but I would argue that having two or three Strats is kind of the norm without being totally redundant, whereas having more than two Teles is starting to become overkill if you're not touring and such all the time. But then I still hafta do another Jazzmaster vid, right?

Well, I don't know where your winter is, so if you need something more insulated or whatever, there is always that. I'd say they're more water repellent than waterproof, so depends how much it rains and don't know if they've solved some of their distribution issues from this spring or whatever. Like I think I said somewhere, they're mostly fine casual boot if you're not planning to try and treat them like Heavy Duty work boots, etc., but they may have cut some corners in the past couple years, too, to keep price down a bit.

A tip: Look for ex-hire/ex-rental kilts and highland wear. You can find a worsted wool 8 yard kilt for around a $100 with a bit of luck. Ofcourse you have to add customs and taxes to that but still…
@Highland_Paddy
@Highland_Paddy 2 месяца назад
Almost any time I see a used one like that from US companies, they are usually too short in length or some super narrow waist sizing issue. BUT I mentioned the other day that now UT kilts sizing is getting more close to correct apparently, but still not the same as Scottish wool for sure.
@Highland_Paddy
@Highland_Paddy 2 месяца назад
Also apparently easier to find pre-owned in Canada because ex-military use ones and such.
@skarn81
@skarn81 2 месяца назад
Some traditional styled kilts actually do have buttons...but these are for suspenders to attach to for larger kilt sizes. Not generally as a closure device nowadays. I have heard that in the past there were some kilts made traditionally which did have button closures. These are not common and you are correct that velcro and belts are used by most manufacturers as preference.
@Highland_Paddy
@Highland_Paddy 2 месяца назад
I don't know if UT finally got their sizing more accurate from before, but the most recent one I got is the same amount across the pleated area in the back but then shorter in the front aprons and doesn't fit large enough now from the previous four or whatever.

You get what you pay for. A good kilt is more cost wise. A polyester kilt just does not look right to me. Though it is an inexpensive way to determine if your man enough for a kilted life.
@Highland_Paddy
@Highland_Paddy 2 месяца назад
Well, if you see my most recent vid, I just got a poly kilt to replace a different one and they can look like wool if they're done well without the itch, but this one I don't care for the feel of the fabric as much or the fact that the brand only comes in too big or too small, but it has a good amount of pleats and all that for times when I want wool alternatives that aren't as horrible and flimsy as typical acrylic, etc.

I reached my max characters in the Description, but I wonder if the script matches the movie exactly, but I don't think I could just read the scenes on here without getting flagged, either. [Beer supply vs. cheese and other thoughts left for later, such as recurring actors and songs, etc., which has nothing really to do with screenwriting, like I sorta said. Well, sometimes people use songs to set a mood, but those songs don't always make it into the film for budget or editing reasons, etc.]
