Allegra K Women's Trench Coat
Looking for a stylish and warm winter coat? Look no further than the Allegra K Women's Peter Pan Collar Double Breasted Winter Long Trench Pea Coat! This reviewer loved the look and quality of this coat, but there are a few things to consider before buying.
https://preview.redd.it/jtqrr1fn643d1.jpg?width=379&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47264481b47b370637cf0197c122fac08e113a8d
First, the fabric. The reviewer found the material to be quite rough and returned the coat for this reason. However, they also mentioned the coat is thick and well-made, so it might just depend on personal preference. The coat also comes with deep creases that likely need steaming out, and since it's not recommended for ironing, that might mean a trip to the dry cleaners before you can wear it.
On the plus side, the reviewer loved the style and fit of the Allegra K Women's Trench Coat. They ordered a large and found it perfect at 5'8", so the length is great for taller individuals. The sleeves are also a good length and the buttons seem very secure. Overall, this could be a great winter coat as long as you're aware of the potential fabric roughness and need for steaming.

2024.05.27 13:09 Raw-Indighoul Bordon Tukano Tan Latigo Review

Bordon Tukano Tan Latigo Review
Quite a bit has been written and said about Bordon and their Tukano model. While I’ll give my thoughts on the boots, I also would like to share my thoughts on the brand and the folks behind it.
I ordered these on size 12.5E (EU 45.5E). I am 12D on the Brannock but I have high volume feet and depending on the last and model, I play with the sizing. This pair is a Tukano in the original model (I meant to order the V2, but alas) in W&C Tan Latigo. The sole is an Itshide commando sole. I ordered these last June 2023 and I received them in March 2024. I paid $349 for the pair.
This pair fits me comfortably and I’ve done a decent amount of hiking in them. Personally, I think the boots are great if you are on the move but they are way too heavy for just standing around. It’s strange, but these make my feet hurt if I have to stand on them for extended periods of time without actual walking. The construction is outstanding. No stitches out of place, and the stitching density is just consistent across the boots. These boots feel substantial, and on foot I have this sense of security whenever I walk. That’s always a good feeling. The Itshide sole is solid, definitely my favorite commando sole. Nice grip and I think the recessed lugs look better than most Vibram lug soles. They are also softer and grippier than the similar-looking Goodyear commando soles.
The leather is absolutely fantastic. The tan latigo started as this orange/brown, and over time with use and the sunlight is becoming a dark red. The clicking is superb on my pair, Andrés (partneowner of Bordon) has quite the eye for clicking and selecting where to cut hides. I’ve been wearing this pair for over two months in wet conditions and desert. The creasing on the vamp is what I’ve heard described as “sugary lines”, very fine creasing that actually makes the boots look better. The creasing on the quarters is also great, sugary lines and smooth rolls. I get the hype of W&C leathers now; I am a definitely a fan. The tan color on this leather under the sunlight is mesmerizing. I sometimes stop to just look at all the shades of red, orange, and brown. I added a picture I took during a sunset to show how the light hits the boots, it’s really awesome.
Now onto Bordon’s owners: Natalia and Andrés. I was lucky to travel to Colombia, and they were generous to let me come to their workshop to pick up in person the pair I am reviewing here. They are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Generous with their time and always happy to chat with customers like myself. They love their craft and are committed to creating the best quality product. I was able to see their processes and how their boots are built step by step. It’s an impressive process and it’s all leather, nails, and rubber soles. They had boots at all stages of the process and I am thankful for the experience to see how the make their boots. I feel great wearing this pair because I am aware of all the steps and work it took to get me a finished product of this caliber.
Andrés and Natalia agreed to make me two pairs of custom boots, and I am beyond excited to see the final product. I took a hide of Horween’s russet dublin from Tannery Row all the way to Bogota, and I commissioned pairs of Wanes and Isidro w this leather. Andrés showed me which parts he would click for each part of the boots, and it was fascinating to learn about clicking and what makes a good cut. We went over the hide I bought and he showed me compromised spots that would be too thin or would crease in an unsightly way and how to cut around them. The dublin hide I brought to Bogota had some interesting veining that we decided to turn it into a feature instead of trying to hide it. It was an awesome learning experience. I am very thankful to both of them for their willingness to make these pairs for me. My wife will also be getting a pair of Isidros on the russet dublin.
I’d like to finish this review by saying that Andrés and Natalia are fully committed to their art and the quality of their boots. These are perfectionist boot makers that prefer to start from scratch if there’s a mistake rather than hide it. I am certain that my next pairs of Bordon will be excellent. When you contact Bordon you will be talking directly with either Natalia or Andrés. They are responsive and eager to provide the best customer service they can.
I know some people have been very disrespectful to them and belittled their work just because they happen to produce their boots in Colombia, which is total BS. Wyatt&Dad just released a video taking apart White’s, Nicks, Franks, and Bordon boots. Bordon’s construction quality is on par with our best PNM bootmakers, don’t take my word for it, look up the video in Youtube. Anyhow, if you’re on the fence about whether these boots are worth the $350 to $410 (for W&C options), I would say go for it! Just be aware it make take a bit to get them, but definitely worth the wait.

2024.05.25 08:39 Big-Building-2191 Best tires for southern CA weather?

I know there’s tons of subs on tires in here but all the reviews I’ve been reading seem to be for more extreme weather variances. I live in southern CA, so see rain occasionally but no snow (unless traveling). I currently have GoodYear Eagle F1s but don’t really enjoy the ride.. I’m looking for tires with higher longevity and warranty, reasonably priced, and a smoother ride. I was quoted on GoodYear Exhilarate ($279 each 45k warranty) and Hancock Ion Evo ($337 each 50k warranty). Any recs would be much appreciated!

2024.05.25 00:13 lobster-666 Seattle Animal Shelter accused of safety issues, retaliation (2024/05/21)

Seattle Animal Shelter accused of safety issues, retaliation (2024/05/21)
A sign on Theon’s kennel at the Seattle Animal Shelter explains to staff, volunteers and prospective adopters that he can be anxious and does better outside
Kassandra Rocker really wanted a new best friend. The local animal shelter matched her with Grubauer – a 2-year-old Catahoula Leopard dog named after Seattle Kraken goalie Philipp Grubauer – as a foster parent with the idea that it would lead to adoption.
“We jogged together, and I got this, like, ‘Oh my god, this is my dog’ kind of feeling,” she said. “I had always dreamed of having a dog I could run with and it was amazing. I thought he was the damn cutest thing in the world.”
Rocker had previously owned dogs, studied pre-veterinary medicine and worked at a veterinary hospital when she came to the Seattle Animal Shelter last fall. Yet it was not enough to prepare her.
Grubauer had a history of biting, but Rocker said the shelter never warned her before she took him home. In their two days together, she suffered four biting incidents.
By the last instance – which she described as a vicious attack resulting in her gushing blood – Rocker knew she could not handle Grubauer.
“I still have a scar on my shoulders from a puncture wound, and I was so beat up. I was bruised everywhere. I was bloody, everywhere,” Rocker said. “I had to step out of myself and say, ‘You can’t handle this and that’s OK because there’s someone that can, I hope.’ It just needs to be known. You can’t just send Gru home with anybody.”
Seattle Animal Shelter dog handlers allege such incidents reflect an increasingly fraught culture at the organization. Volunteers have accused shelter leaders of disregarding safety complaints, retaliating against those who voice concerns and failing to communicate clearly on policies or risks — endangering animals and their handlers while also taking a mental toll on those who keep the shelter running.
More than 20 current and former volunteers and staff spoke with Cascade PBS, many asking to remain anonymous or be identified by first name only to avoid retaliation or damaging relationships within the local shelter community. Cascade PBS also reviewed nearly 100 recorded incidents of bites and dozens of records ranging from detailed animal files to email exchanges, including multiple internal reports detailing reforms that have yet to be completed.
Shelter director Esteban Rodriguez said he was aware of issues with communication and the workplace culture, but those can take time to fix as a government agency. He emphasized he considers safety his top priority and pointed to department policies that are modeled on industry best practices.
“It actually hurts me to hear that people are saying the culture is toxic,” he told Cascade PBS. “We have a list of things that we’re doing that we’re currently engaging on and that we’re actively pursuing so that we can create a culture that is inclusive, a culture where people feel that they belong, and they can do their good work.”
But the mounting concerns have led many to leave the organization, taking with them at least a century of combined experience volunteering with the shelter.
“I think it was sort of a progressive decline over time,” said Pavi, who volunteered at the shelter for a decade before leaving at the end of 2022. “It was just systemic issues. … It became clear to me that things were not on a path to change anytime soon.”

Bite safety concerns
Most shelter workers will tell you: Bites come with the job. Working with animals means accepting a chance of being bitten, especially at a municipal shelter where they cannot choose which animals they take.
But several longtime volunteers argue the shelter has adopted riskier practices for handling dogs with documented bite histories and should be doing more to prevent bites where possible.
“It was pretty clear-cut that there was a change in policy in terms of what volunteers were allowed to do, and what kind of dogs we were allowed to walk,” explained a former volunteer with 15 years of experience at the shelter. “It’s only been in very recent times that volunteers were allowed to walk dogs with any bite history, and such significant bite history as they are being asked to walk today.”
The volunteer said she suffered her first significant bite in 2019 despite having worked at the shelter for more than a decade prior.
“Staff asked me to walk a dog that was on active bite quarantine,” she said. “They handed me a leash over this dog’s head, and it turned out reaching over their head was the trigger, and it just launched at my shoulder and got me. That’s just the kind of thing that wouldn’t have ever happened in prior years.”
Shelter spokesperson Melissa Mixon provided data showing bites have increased slightly since 2018, both in the number and in the percentage of animals brought in. Mixon said the shelter could not provide consistent data prior to 2018. The highest count of bites in a year was last year at 27 bites.
However, those numbers do not include bites to foster parents or potential adopters. Mixon wrote in an email that the shelter implemented a new policy last month to use the same form to collect bite data from all sources. It also includes recording the severity of the bite, which had not been a standard practice in recording bites.

Many dog handlers also said they knew about bites that never got recorded in the animals’ reports. In a sample of records obtained by Cascade PBS, several bites appeared on city incident forms that did not show up in the animal report, which is what is used to provide information to potential adopters and foster parents.
Volunteers often expressed increased concern for foster parents and potential adopters who they said were not receiving adequate support or information, like Rocker.
Grubauer’s history of biting began shortly after he arrived at the shelter in May 2023 when he bit a volunteer hard enough to tear through a sleeve and bruise, according to shelter records. He had also been returned to the shelter once for biting before Rocker took him, but the shelter never shared that history publicly either before or after Rocker had him.
Instead, the shelter heavily promoted Grubauer, including in a guest appearance from the Kraken goalie Philipp Grubauer on the shelter’s Instagram account. The video shows the goalie holding a leash and giving treats, while the dog attempts to wander.
“Grubie is still up for adoption, so come by and check him out,” the player said, adding that other animals are also available if Grubauer is not a good fit.
Some of the messaging mentioned that staff would review medical and behavioral history at the shelter with adopters and foster parents – which Rodriguez said was shelter policy – but Rocker said that did not happen for her. Even after Grubauer first bit her, Rocker said she kept quiet about what happened because she thought that she must have caused it.
“It’s always the owner’s fault, and I always say that,” she said. “I was keeping it to myself because I thought I was protecting the dog, and I was like, he must have been traumatized so badly in his past that he has a switch going off.”
Another adopter also returned Grubauer a few months later for biting, saying they felt his behavioral history and needs were not reviewed in enough detail, according to the animal report.
Volunteers argued the disconnect between the shelter’s internal notes and what they shared publicly posed one of the biggest risks to both workers and visitors.
“I’ve had a few cases where a dog would be described as pretty easy or pretty straightforward, but then you would read the file and it would turn out this was not the case at all,” Pavi said. “Some of it, you know, there could be an error of omission maybe. Maybe they’re running short on time and they didn’t intend to not convey that info, but there was a very casual attitude that goes back quite some time.”
Pavi – who left more than six months before Rocker took Grubauer home – contended that the discrepancy between internal and external messaging goes back before Rodriguez came on as director.
“Where things progressively got worse were these long-term dogs that had been at the shelter for a really long time and you know their behaviors, you know their needs, but nothing was actually being done to support those dogs,” she said. “Week after week, the same dog goes on the emails and eventually someone would ... feel bad that the dog was in the shelter for so long, and they would offer [to take the dog] and something terrible would happen. Like the script repeated a few times.”

Alleged retaliation
When former Seattle Animal Shelter volunteer Gauri met with shelter managers on April 20, she brought up concerns she had about the shelter’s handling of dogs with bite histories.
“We want to make sure that everybody has access to dogs and animals,” she recalled telling the managers. “However, are we doing it in a way that we’re ensuring that these animals aren’t just going to anybody? … What are we doing to ensure that we’re vetting out people to make sure that dogs are going into safe homes and people are being kept safe?”
Gauri said a manager had revoked her volunteer position by the end of the meeting. In response to questions about the meeting, Mixon wrote the shelter expects “input to be shared in a manner that is respectful.”
Several volunteers said they faced retaliation for voicing concerns – the primary reason most asked to remain anonymous. For some, the concern for the animals tips the scales on the side of staying quiet so they can continue their work, whether inside the shelter or with other organizations.
“I really feel for our volunteers because a lot of them are really at their wits’ end of not being heard and of fear for their safety,” an employee at the shelter said. “They’re afraid to speak up because they’re afraid of just being fired as volunteers because we did go on a little spree of just firing a bunch of volunteers anytime they ask a question that our leadership didn’t want to hear.”
Volunteers described a pattern in which a volunteer would ask pointed questions or criticize a decision and shortly after be asked to meet in person with several managers or others in the city’s Finance and Administrative Services department, under which the animal shelter falls.
“It feels like I’m walking into an ambush,” said a former volunteer who worked with the shelter for more than a decade. “I had heard from other volunteers that this is how they fire you, effectively.”
She said she was told repeatedly that the meeting was not a time for her to defend herself. While she was not explicitly fired, she was told she no longer needed to foster, despite indications that they had been “desperate for foster parents.” She quit soon after.

Another longtime cat volunteer, Ed Hutsell, said he was let go in 2023 after pointing out that he didn’t believe staff were collecting from previous cat owners a form that detailed behavioral history, which was key to finding a good adoption match. Hutsell said he had volunteered at the shelter for 12 years under three directors, and was asked to be on the hiring panel for a new volunteer coordinator only weeks before being let go.
Shelter spokesperson Mixon said just four volunteers of nearly 600 had been fired in the past five years, adding via email that she “cannot underscore enough how rarely pausing or ending volunteer relationships occur.”
Rodriguez said feedback from volunteers is valuable and that volunteers can bring concerns to the volunteer coordinator and up the chain of command from there if necessary. He also said he would encourage them to speak with the ombuds office or the city’s human resources department.
“What we don’t want is we don’t want them going outside of that to other avenues, right?” he said. “Because then it doesn’t get back to the shelter, and we can’t actually fix the problem.”
Gauri sent a letter detailing her experience with the shelter to the city’s human resources investigative unit. However, they told her they could not look into it because she was a volunteer – not an employee.
Other volunteers, like dog foster parents Allegra Abramo and Catherine Weatbrook, said they were not directly fired, but noticed reduced shelter account access or communications after expressing concerns.
Abramo, who had been a foster for nearly 20 years, said she stopped receiving emails for foster volunteers. When she asked about it, the foster coordinator responded that they were “unsure when or why this happened” but maybe there was confusion because Abramo “expressed a fair amount of discontent with the program.”
(Abramo is a journalist whose work has been published at Cascade PBS, most recently in 2022.)
Weatbrook volunteered as a foster parent for about a decade and was volunteering as a foster case manager when she noticed she was not receiving emails with new cases anymore.
“You look around and go, ‘Gee, no one has called me in six months,’” Weatbrook said. “And that’s odd because I’m hearing that there’s many, many, many dogs in foster homes with brand-new foster parents.”
She then found out they had stopped using volunteer case managers and emailed the volunteer coordinator at the time to get clarification and express her frustration. The deputy director emailed her back asking for a meeting to discuss her future with the shelter, Weatbrook said. Having heard about similar discussions with other volunteers, she quit.
When asked, Mixon wrote via email: “It is not shelter policy, nor standard practice, to revoke an active volunteer’s access to shelter accounts.”
A cork board at the Seattle Animal Shelter shows dogs that have been recently available for adoption
In early 2023, a group of volunteers from the dog foster team – including both Weatbrook and Abramo – sent shelter leaders a list of concerns and proposed recommendations. Seventeen volunteers – with an average of more than a decade of experience – signed the letter. Most of the signatories have since left the organization.
The ~letter~ warned of declining volunteer morale, recent departures of experienced volunteers and increased risks to workers and the public from shelter practices on handling dogs with bite histories.
“It seems only a matter of time before the City of Seattle is confronted with a lawsuit,” volunteers wrote in the letter. “We know that [Seattle Animal Shelter] leadership and management do not want anyone to get hurt. We want to work together to minimize the chances of serious injury, and take quick action to support those who do get hurt in the line of duty.”
Shelter director Rodriguez said he believes that many of them left because they wanted to maintain the processes that they had developed.
“They ended up leaving because we were taking ownership of that body of work, right? Because we needed to establish, OK, how do we get the best resources to our fosters. ... How do we include everybody?” he said. “They wanted to keep it the status quo, and I wasn’t going to keep it the status quo. We’re going to make a little bit of a shift and include more people, bring more people into our organization. That’s why I kinda say, well, there’s two sides to the story.”
Several foster parents also told Cascade PBS they were asked to return the animals they were fostering after questioning or criticizing the shelter, and many chose to adopt the animal – whether they wanted it or not – because they said they did not trust the shelter to find it a good fit for adoption.
“I grew up visiting that shelter,” said former critter volunteer Kari Pelaez, who quit in March 2023 after four years. “It was a great place to adopt from, and now I’m sad because I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go there. I don’t trust that they have the animal’s best interests at heart, and I know they don’t have the volunteers’ best interests at heart.”
Safety concerns and other issues have been raised by current and former volunteers at the Seattle Animal Shelter
Consultants suggest reforms
The shelter has hired consultants to evaluate its practices three times in the past two years. The Performance Dimensions GROUP provided a ~report~ in 2022. Maddie’s Fund – a national animal care organization – delivered its findings in May 2023, and the organization Rachel at the Shelter issued a report in July.
“Every time things go badly in the shelter, they either hire a new layer of management or they hire a consultant to tell them what they’re doing wrong,” former volunteer Hutsell said.
The ~Maddie’s Fund report~ offered a mix of recommendations, with nearly half aimed at improving the organization broadly and the rest geared toward improving animal welfare and outcomes. Many of the recommendations in both categories involve creating or updating standard operating procedures, creating clear lines of communication and expectations and increased training.
The report also specifically noted strained relationships within the shelter, and describes the issue as urgent. It recommended creating a clear procedure for reporting code of conduct violations and creating “an environment of openness and transparency where staff and volunteers clearly understand their role in conflicts.”
“All staff and volunteers need to very clearly understand that [Seattle Animal Shelter] is committed to inclusivity and respect for staff, volunteers, and the public,” the report concluded. “There is a tendency amongst some staff and volunteers to disrespect or villainize others instead of utilizing a trauma informed approach and working to understand others’ situations and support them.”
Similarly, the ~Rachel at the Shelter report~ – which focused on the shelter’s foster programs – included a section on foster volunteer communications and roles, saying that many volunteers expressed discontent with a lack of clear expectations and a “perceived discarding” of requests and concerns.
“The natural power dynamic between leadership and their team or leadership and their volunteers (at any organization) complicates this,” the report elaborated. “When one party has the technical power to enact change that another invested party is advocating for and feels powerless to do anything about, that is a dynamic to be very conscious of.”
Related recommendations included clarifying volunteer roles, centralizing documents, creating consistent meetings and allowing room for mistakes because “the lack of written processes have contributed to an environment where a not-insignificant number of volunteers feel they may have certain privileges revoked for crossing lines that were not clearly communicated to them.”

Based on these reports, Rodriguez said he wrote a two-year plan to implement the recommendations. The plan – the first of its kind since 2014, according to Mixon – includes 245 action items and a timeline to be completed between January 2024 and January 2026.
“We’re a city entity and things move a little slow, and that’s OK,” Rodriguez said. “But we are making progress, and we’re making progress in the right direction.”
Shelter leadership had completed just 17 of the 245 recommendations within the first four months of 2024, putting the reforms behind schedule based on the benchmarks within the plan.
Many recommendations carry over verbatim from the consulting reports. Some are clear, tangible items, such as creating an organizational chart for the foster team. Others are more broad or vague, such as “more emphasis on post-placement support” for foster parents.
Some recommendations also overlap. For example, two separate recommendations describe the need to create standard operating procedures for different volunteer roles, with different timeframes for each.
A few of the recommendations addressed decision-making and communication for animals at risk of euthanasia.
Rocker repeatedly said she feared Grubauer would be euthanized – even getting into arguments with her veterinary clinic co-workers who said they thought it was necessary.
Grubauer went to a foster or adoption home and was returned 11 times in total, mostly over bites, according to his animal report. On Feb. 22, at just under 3 years old, Grubauer was euthanized.
During her last biting incident, Rocker knew she couldn’t get Grubauer back to the shelter on her own. She said she called animal control at the behest of her girlfriend, and a police officer showed up to take him away. It broke Rocker’s heart.
“I looked at Gru, and I looked in his eyes, and he was such a good dog. Like, I could feel it. It just didn’t make sense,” she said as her voice began to shake. “He was just laying down looking at me like, ‘Where is this guy taking me?’ And I just felt like I fucking failed him. But my girlfriend was like, ‘You didn’t fail him. They failed us.’”

Trusted website? Discounted wheel warehouse.
Does anyone have any experience with this website. Looking to buy new AT tires for my 2015 Lx570. I'm running stock wheels and want a larger and more aggressive tire but don't want to break the bank. Can buy same tire and size for about 210 on Amazon but if I can save a few dollars since I want to replace the spares tire as well. Any one with any experience with buying from the site would be helpful. Thanks

Farroad FRD26 Tyres; am I an idiot?
Long story short my tyres were at the limit and I've got a long trip ahead later on this weekend, I was initially going to get Goodyear's and Uniroyals but then for the sake of budget and them not being available before the trip, considered part worns and immediately said no. Eventually the garage got some new Farroad FRD26's fitted on the front of my car for £130.
The steering wheel feels lighter now compared to before and the car drives fine but I later looked up the tyres and found out they were a Chinese brand, although most reviews seem to be good on them and they're approved by the EU, I feel a bit stupid now and am wondering should I have kept patient and spent extra considering how much I like to travel?
P.S. I don't drive like a maniac since it's quite a boaty estate anyways but I do like to travel long distance on motorways.

Orchard Park developer has a plan to restore a long-vacant pair of commercial buildings downtown wgrz.com
BUFFALO, N.Y. — An Orchard Park developer has a plan to restore a long-vacant pair of commercial buildings at 138-140 Seneca St. in downtown Buffalo.
In documents filed with the city Preservation Board, David Robida details plans to rehabilitate the building with commercial space on the first floor and apartments above.
140 Seneca St. was built in 1865, followed by 138 Seneca St. around 1878.
Robida plans to seek historic tax credits for the project, according to the Preservation Board application.
Tax breaks from WNY IDAs tallied $100M in 2022, state says (buffalonews.com)
Businesses across Western New York received tax breaks totaling more than $100.7 million on 576 projects through incentives granted by the region’s industrial development agencies in 2022, according to the latest annual examination and report by State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. On the whole, those tax breaks were worth $71.37 per person across Western New York, the report said.
In exchange for those incentives, the projects and developers created 22,908 jobs in the region, which works out to $4,394 in tax breaks for each new job. “IDAs were created to help grow local economies, businesses and job markets,” DiNapoli said.
Iskalo's Old Editions conversion delayed by Planning Board (buffalonews.com)
After battling to win zoning variances and other clearance for its parking lot plan, Iskalo Development Corp. had hoped on Monday to receive final city approval for its plan to convert the former Old Editions Bookstore building in downtown Buffalo into apartments and commercial space.
But longtime former city planning director Nadine Marrero, who now sits on the Planning Board as a member, had other ideas.
No longer restricted to just providing legal advice and direction to the board, Marrero made her feelings clear about a secondary aspect of Iskalo's proposal: to replace two other small buildings around the corner on Oak Street with a parking lot for the new residential and retail tenants.
“I don’t think it’s an efficient use of land, and I don’t think it contributes to the street,” Marrero said of the plan to demolish the former Farthing Press buildings at 260-262 Oak. “I have been working for 20 years to get more density along Oak and Elm, and I don’t think today is the day I’m going to change my mind."
Endeavor Health advances East Side mental health facility (buffalonews.com)
Plans by a West Seneca-based mental health agency to construct a 16,000-square-foot counseling facility on Buffalo’s East Side are advancing through municipal reviews, as Mid-Erie Counseling & Treatment Services seeks a special-use permit for the $7.5 million project.
Mid-Erie, which does business as Endeavor Health Services, is proposing to build a two-story behavioral health center at the northwest corner of Broadway and Goodyear Avenue, to replace its aging and outmoded space at 1131 Broadway, where it leases 12,000 square feet. There, it would offer group therapy, counseling, substance abuse programs and other treatment, as well as community space and access to nurses and primary care specialists.
The hottest hot spot for development? North Amherst (buffalonews.com)
After years of relative inactivity, the more rural northern parts of Amherst are seeing a surge of new development projects that are bringing hundreds of new apartments aimed at young professionals, couples, families and students.
From the new student, senior and market-rate housing near University at Buffalo’s North Campus, to Muir Woods, to projects along Dodge Road, North French Road and Millersport Highway, developers are eying the vast swaths of undeveloped land in Buffalo’s largest suburb, seeing new opportunities to meet a seemingly insatiable demand.
That has made the area a hot spot for new construction, while also adding some more retail space to the market.
(Note: I kind of hate all of this. These developments are purely car dependent and typical suburban sprawl. Why doesn't UB allow for some housing to be developed on the many, many open lots they have right on campus!?)
Bliss proposes new mixed-use project near Main-Transit (buffalonews.com)
Adding to a slowly growing real estate empire near the prime Amherst intersection of Main Street and Transit Road, developer Paul Bliss is pursuing a five-story mixed-use project at Tennyson Terrace that would introduce another 34 market-rate apartments to the local mix.
Bliss, owner of Bliss Construction, wants to construct a 66,316-square-foot building that will occupy five lots at the northeast corner of Tennyson and Main. That is about one block west of Transit, on the north side of Main, and it is adjacent to other Bliss properties and existing projects.
The 2.16-acre property is home to a 15,150-square-foot commercial building with an associated 57-space parking lot, plus a single-family residential house – all of which will be demolished and cleared prior to construction.

🔗Embroidered Button-Down Collar Neckline Long Sleeve Shirt Dress


https://preview.redd.it/4dszi48b9x1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f57d79cbf1313c24fb1da623414c7da66d24d8f
Oh, this Kensie embroidered shirt dress - where do I even begin? It's just the perfect piece for those who love to stand out in the crowd. The black multi color palette gives off a sophisticated vibe, while the intricate embroidery adds that charming touch.
The first time I wore it to a friend's birthday party, it was an instant hit. Everybody kept complimenting me on how stylish and unique I looked. And trust me, there's nothing better than getting compliments on a dress that's as comfortable as this one.
However, there's one thing I would have liked to see differently. The collar is a little stiff as compared to some other dresses that I've worn. But hey, maybe that's just part of its distinct charm. Overall, it's a beautiful addition to any wardrobe.

🔗Women's Poplin Shirtdress - Navy - Size 14


https://preview.redd.it/bxigfsmb9x1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf425e79068ae0b251554efd222fd728b0c01523
As a fashion enthusiast, I have to say that I am absolutely in love with the Pari Passu Women's Poplin Shirtdress in Navy. It's like having the best of both worlds – the classic elegance of a shirtdress combined with exceptional comfort.
After trying this dress on for the first time, I was immediately drawn to its crisp navy color and tailored fit. The fabric is of high-quality cotton with just a hint of stretch, which ensures both comfort and longevity. The dress features buttons down the front, side seam pockets, a self-sash, and cuffed sleeves, making it both stylish and practical.
One of my favorite things about this dress is its versatility. It's perfect for business meetings when paired with a black pump, but can also easily be dressed down for the weekend with a pair of clogs or sneakers. For more casual occasions or warmer days, I've even worn it with sandals, and it still looks fabulous.
However, one thing to note about this dress is that it does run slightly small in size, so you may need to order a size up to achieve the perfect fit. Overall, the Pari Passu Women's Poplin Shirtdress is an essential addition to any wardrobe, offering timeless elegance and unbeatable comfort.

🔗Women's Long Sleeve Button-Down Shirtdress - Universal Thread


https://preview.redd.it/pfbarhxb9x1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62821edfba87d09a98de64cc2368fb685827a6eb
I recently purchased an incredibly comfortable and stylish Women's Long Sleeve Button-Down Shirtdress from Universal Thread. This solid-color midi dress is made from a soft twill cotton that keeps me cool and relaxed all day while still maintaining its pristine appearance.
One feature that immediately caught my eye was the collared neckline with a full-length button-down front. It gives me the perfect balance between casual and professional, making this dress suitable for a variety of occasions. I also love the long sleeves with buttoned cuffs, which add a touch of sophistication to the overall look.
The side vents in the dress provide just the right amount of airflow, keeping me cool even on the hottest days. Additionally, the patch pocket on the chest and two welt pockets on the waist give this dress a practical touch without detracting from its aesthetic appeal.
However, I did find one minor issue. The sizing runs slightly small, so I would recommend ordering a size up for optimal comfort. Despite this, I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase, and I'm confident that I'll be getting a lot of use out of this feminine and versatile dress.

🔗Aiho Modern Sleeper Chair with Linen Fabric in Light Gray


https://preview.redd.it/gowwmrac9x1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe2d5617ad16ca36853514a6d7b79da5a3bc3065
As a fashion enthusiast, I've had the chance to try out the Amazon Essentials Women's Sleeveless Woven Shirt Dress and let me share my experience with you. This versatile piece is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a casual outing or a more formal affair. The sleeveless design lends a modern touch while the spread collar adds a classic touch. I found the button-up front to be quite functional, making it easy to put on and take off.
One standout feature for me was how comfortable it was. The fabric is 100% viscose, which felt soft and silky on my skin. And the best part? It's machine washable, making it easy to maintain. The relaxed fit gave it a comfortable, easy-going vibe that I loved.
However, one con that I noticed was the lack of structural support. The shirt dress has a tendency to cling to the body, which might not be favorable for everyone. But overall, I would say this shirt dress is a great addition to anyone's wardrobe who's looking for a versatile, comfortable piece.

🔗Floral Print Shirt Dress with Belt for Women


https://preview.redd.it/ud5j8inc9x1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49716dfb0446bc249905ef26d01e43a833d72ef1
I recently tried the Allegra K Women's Contrast Collar Short Sleeve Belt Shirt Dress, and I must say, it's a stylish addition to my wardrobe. Its floral print, tie belt, and button placket give it a chic and feminine touch.
I appreciated the slim fit as it accentuated my curves perfectly, while the above-the-knee length made it both practical and fashionable. I found it quite versatile, suitable for shopping trips, dates, and weekend gatherings. The only downside was that the fabric, being 100% polyester, wrinkled easily, but a quick steam or ironing session fixed that right up.
Overall, the Allegra K Women's Shirt Dress is a stylish and comfortable choice for any occasion.

🔗Button-Up Shirt Maxi Dress - Comfort and Style


https://preview.redd.it/t6zslx0d9x1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=352695199a61375965b04b9bf54f8a2ca83702ce
I recently purchased the stylish and comfortable Renee C Button-Up Shirt Maxi Dress in Khaki from Nordstrom Rack. I was immediately drawn to the relaxed fit and the beautiful khaki color. The detachable belt is a nice touch, allowing me to switch up the style easily. The spread collar and three-quarter sleeves give a polished look, perfect for work or a night out.
What stood out to me were the comfortable, stretchy fabric and the flattering waist, which made it easy to dress up or dress down. However, I did have one issue: the dry clean-only tag. I think for such a versatile dress, the care instructions could be a bit more manageable.
All in all, this dress has been a great addition to my wardrobe, offering a perfect blend of style, comfort, and practicality.

🔗White Layered Shirtdress for Women


https://preview.redd.it/dqsduobd9x1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5951904b663677bd837e604fa2307dd8936e6cd6
I recently got my hands on this stylish and versatile Nuno Shirtdress from Interior, and I must say, it has been a game-changer for my wardrobe. Its bright white color and crisp double-collar design make it perfect for both casual and work occasions. The layered sleeves and A-line silhouette provide a comfortable fit and ample room to move around.
Plus, the cotton poplin fabric ensures it's breathable and easy to care for. I've worn this dress to both office meetings and weekend brunches, and it has always received compliments. While the waist is a bit loose, I can easily pair it with a belt for a more polished look.
Overall, the Nuno Shirtdress has quickly become one of my go-to pieces for any event.

2024.05.22 02:05 derroc [MEXICAN BOOT REVIEW] Russet Horsehide captoe service boots from John Doe Shoes, 1 month review

Album first: https://imgur.com/a/ZnEVrHz
Yet another review! I'm almost done with my collection, just 2 or 3 more and I'm done. When I'm finished, you'll have a very comprehensive guide of Mexican boot/shoemakers in my profile.
Why Mexican shoes? Because I live in Mexico, and they are more affordable and easy to find than other options. Besides, I get to support local business, and that is a big plus for me. Obviously, English is not my first language, so bear with me.
Disclaimer: This review has been completely sponsored by my compulsive shopping. I have not received any free boots or discounts, but if someone wants to give a free pair of boots, my feet are ready.

Brand: John Doe Shoes

John Doe Shoes is a Mexican boot/shoe manufacturer with a peculiar business model. You get to choose the leather first, then the boot or shoe style. When I was starting to get into boots I was really confused by their website, so I'll do my best to explain it:
Sample sale: https://www.johndoeshoes.com/sample-sale
These are shoes that in stock. You can buy those at a lower price, and you don't have to wait for them to make your boots. The downside is there's not really a lot of options, but it's worth it. I actually bought this boots from the sample sale. Pretty forward buying process. Prices are in USD, and they ship outside of Mexico.
Made to order: https://www.johndoeshoes.com/mto/
Style guide: https://www.johndoeshoes.com/style-guide/
Here you start choosing the leather. The pictures are just examples but when you click on "Brown SB Foot Tanning Co" you get to choose the exact model and sole you want. You can see their different models in the style guide. They have 2 lasts: milo last (like mine) and their normal last (more rounded in the front). If you see few photos of their work, you'll recognize them easily.
For example: Choosing "Brown SB Foot Tanning Co" > 420 Cap Toe (Milo Last) + D width + Studded sole + Goodyear welt > You'll get a similar boot as mine, but made with Brown SB Foot Tanning Co leather.
They have a running 3x2 sale. Just add 3 made to order shoes or boots to your cart, and you'll get the discount.
You can see some ideas of what to order in their social media, but they are not very active: https://www.instagram.com/johndoeshoes/

The boots:

Russet Horsehide leather is not usually found in boots. It's no the fancy leather from a horse butt. It is more of a heavy-duty leather: thick, stiff and more visible grain. I think this particular leather is from Horween Tannery. I bought it in natural color, and it is veg tan, so it should develop a nice patina. These are my first natural veg tan leather boots.
I paid $190 USD for them. Their normal price would be $292 but I got them from the sample sale.
About sizing, I'm a 9D brannock and I ordered that size. Another redditor recommended sizing down half a size for their Milo last, I kind of agree. I like my boots on the tighter side, so 8.5 would have been ideal. Anyway, I'll just add a leather insert or wear thicker socks.
I've got nothing bad to say about the build quality. I'm very pleased with what I got. I thought they would be stiffer at first, but after the ones from Urban Wolf Club, everything else seems lightweight.

Could be better:

Would I buy from them again:

Yep, that 3x2 sale seems like a really good deal. Besides, if I want a pair of longwings made with tan horsehide chromexcel, John Doe Shoes is THE PLACE to go. Just look at these beauties: Tan Horsehide CX Connor Longwings. There are some mixed reviews on this sub, but my experience has been mostly positive. I'm sure I'll order again someday.

P 235/60R18 103H
I’m looking to purchase a new set of tires (tires that came with the vehicle is near the end) I’ve always stuck with GoodYear but heard mixed reviews with their quality recently. Any suggestions?
I do live in Upstate NY where the winter can be brutal at times but thankfully I’m no where near the great lakes/ finger lakes areas. I don’t drive too far for work on the daily and take small trips here and there so theres not much driving involved.

Why Mexican shoes? Because I live in Mexico, and they are more affordable and easy to find than other options. Besides, I get to support local business, and that is a big plus for me. Obviously, English is not my first language, so bear with me.

Brand: Urban Wolf Club

https://verneleather.com/
First, a little clarification. I got this boots from Verne Leather, but they were made by Urban Wolf Club. Verne Leather is just a brand. I think the guys from Urban Wolf Club deserve the credit here.
There's a couple of review for them already on this sub. Urban Wolf Club has a made to order model. You can see some of their models on their website, but I would recommend contacting them on social media so you can customize your boots.
Urban Wolf Club: https://urbanwolfclub.com/the-urban-wolf/
Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/theurbanwolfclub/
Verne leather: https://verneleather.com/
Take a look at their last videos on IG, you'll see they can do some interesting and different boots.

The boots:

I'm gonna piggyback a few comments made by other Redditors:
They have thick leather uppers, full leather lining, Goodyear welt construction, cork filling, steel shank, leather midsole and rubber outsole. No gusseted tongue, but they have a lace loop (or whatever it's called) in the tongue which keeps it from sliding to the side. The welt joint is almost invisible, it's the best I've ever seen.

Would I buy from Urban Wolf Club again:

Yep, I actually ordered a pair of boots for my brother as a gift. I have a few tips if you're planning on buying from them:

I had the chance to try out the Carhartt 6" Ground Force Composite Toe Waterproof Boots in Men's Brown, and I must say, they have been quite an experience. These boots are designed for those working in tough environments, and they definitely live up to that expectation.
The first thing I noticed was how comfortable the Insite technology footbed is. I was able to wear these boots for long hours without any foot fatigue. It was great to be able to focus on my job without being bothered by my feet.
However, there were a couple of drawbacks that I couldn't quite shake off. The boots felt a bit heavy, and the ankle support could be more effective. Additionally, some reviewers mentioned they had problems with the boots not being waterproof, which is a major concern for those working in wet conditions.
Despite the cons, I must say that the Ground Force boots are a game-changer for those looking for comfort and durability in their work boots. They are well-designed, and the features like the FastDry lining and EVA midsole really make a difference.
Overall, the Carhartt Ground Force Composite Toe Waterproof Boots are a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable work boot. Just be prepared for a bit of adjustment time as you get used to the fit and feel of these boots.

When I wore the Carhartt Wedge Boots for the first time, I immediately noticed the soft, unlined casual upper that felt comfortable from the start. The stylish wheat oil-tanned leather uppers were perfect for both work and casual settings.
However, the lack of arch support made my heels feel like they were on fire by the end of the day. Despite the cushioned foam footbed and good-looking design, the footbed didn't offer the best fit for my wide feet. Overall, the slip-resistant Goodyear welt construction and wicking lining made it a suitable choice for construction and landscaping situations, but the comfort level left something to be desired.

I've been wearing these Carhartt work boots for about a month now, and I must say, they've really made an impact on my daily work routine. The leather is top-notch, and I appreciate the Storm Defender membrane that keeps my feet nice and dry even on those damp workdays.
One of the features that stood out to me is the dual-density rubber sole - it's incredibly comfortable, and I find myself walking more confidently on uneven surfaces. The Goodyear welt construction is another highlight, ensuring that these boots will last for a long time, even with the occasional accidental bump.
That being said, there were a couple of downsides to these work boots. The break-in period was a bit longer than expected, but once they fit comfortably, it was all worth it. Another minor issue was the size - I usually wear a 10, but I found that these boots ran a bit big, so I had to go for a smaller size.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with my Carhartt work boots. They're a durable and comfortable choice for long hours on the job, and I feel more confident wearing them on the construction site. I hope more people can experience the benefits of these boots, just like I have.

🔗High-Performance Carhartt Waterproof Work Boot for Men


https://preview.redd.it/pb5s4vw4yc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=527c9d624b7eb799cbdcd180770bcfa9e5945a83
I recently got these Carhartt Waterproof Soft Toe Hiker Boots, also known as the FP5070-M ones, and they've been a game-changer in my outdoor activities. One of the features that stood out to me was the Vibram Arctic Grip outsole for superior traction in wet and on ice. As someone who spends a lot of time in slippery environments, this came in handy on a recent hike where I had to cross a narrow bridge over a fast-moving river.
The olive nubuck leather and high abrasion resistant 1260D material was also impressive. I couldn't help but notice how resistant these boots have been to scratches and wear, especially after a particularly rough day at work. The waterproof and breathable membrane worked exceptionally well too, keeping my feet dry even when I had to wade through knee-deep water in a swamp.
However, there were a couple of cons that I noticed. Firstly, they fit a bit snugly, so it was a bit of a struggle getting them on and off. But overall, the benefits outweighed the minor inconvenience. Secondly, I found them to be a little warm during the summer days. But considering they're waterproof and offer great support, it's a trade-off I'm willing to make.
All in all, these boots are a solid investment if you're looking for reliable, comfortable footwear to take on rugged terrains or challenging outdoor activities. The combination of style, durability, and comfort makes these boots perfect for both work and play.

I recently started using the Carhartt Men's 6" Brown Waterproof Work Boots, and I'm quite impressed by their performance so far. The first thing that stood out to me was the leather upper – it seems durable and looks sleek. But the true test came when I encountered wet and damp conditions at work. The Storm Defender waterproof and breathable membrane really kept my feet cozy and dry, which was a huge relief. I also appreciated the FastDry lining, as it wicked away sweat and moisture, keeping me fresh throughout the day. The cushioned insole was a game-changer, providing support, comfort, and reducing foot fatigue.
However, there was a downside to the break-in period. The boot initially felt a bit stiff, which made it uncomfortable to wear for long periods. But that's a common issue with work boots, and I expected it. Another thing I noticed was the potential for stitching issues, as one customer had mentioned. I'll keep an eye on that, but so far, so good. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase, and I'm looking forward to putting these boots through their paces in various work conditions.

🔗Carhartt Work Boot - Rugged Design, Durable Protection, ASTM Certified


https://preview.redd.it/2jla0bm5yc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=004ac68c2dded48a0e007b5dd84d1cb04491bcb9
For years, I've been on the hunt for a rugged and comfortable pair of work boots that can withstand the test of time, both on and off the job site. After trying out several pairs, I finally stumbled upon a winner: the Carhartt Men's Rugged Flex Steel Toe Work Boot. The first thing that caught my attention was the brown leather, paired with the Carstrong durable reinforced fabric that protects against wear and tear without being excessively heavy. The boots' FastDry technology lining is a game-changer for me, as I tend to sweat quite a bit in the heels of my footwear.
One of the standout features of this pair of boots is the composite toe that protects against both impact and compression hazards, ensuring I am always safe on the job site. The rubber heel bumper provides extra stability and protection, while the EVA midsole with cushioned polyurethane insole offers great support and shock absorbance - something my feet appreciate after long hours on my feet.
The Rugged Flex rubber outsole not only offers durable traction but also keeps me feeling flexible, enhancing my overall comfort while I'm at work. However, there have been a couple of cons worth mentioning. For instance, the boots took a bit more time than I would've liked to break in properly, which disrupted my workflow for a few days. Additionally, the FastDry lining didn't seem to work as effectively as it should have, leaving me with sweaty feet at the end of the day.
Despite these minor setbacks, I have found the Carhartt Men's Rugged Flex Steel Toe Work Boot to be a reliable and comfortable choice for those seeking top-notch work boots. The pros undeniably outweigh the cons, making these boots a worthy investment for anyone looking for durability, protection, and comfort in their footwear.

🔗Carhartt Men's 6-inch Work Boots: Oil-tanned Leather and Rubber Outsole


https://preview.redd.it/id49gd36yc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1a1381e10cf71763a2abd08181be278217c7453
These Carhartt work boots have become a staple in my daily life. The leather upper and rubber outsole make for a durable and reliable footwear option. I was a bit skeptical about the removable insole, but it provides great cushioning and support. The fit is true to size, and the boots have a nice, snug feel around the foot.
One issue I did encounter is the tongue stitching. It gets in the way of putting my foot in the boot, which is a bit inconvenient. Also, I've noticed the FastDry lining doesn't do much to control odor, so I have to clean them more often than I'd like.
Despite those minor drawbacks, the boots have held up well during my day-to-day activities. The removable insole is a great feature and adds to the overall comfort of the boots. I would recommend these Carhartt work boots for anyone in need of a tough and reliable pair of boots for work or play.

🔗Carhartt Force Sneaker Boot: Lightweight, Comfortable, and Abrasion Resistant Men's Boot


https://preview.redd.it/uan9sfm6yc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81daa386ebff1a5c9c84624d82974118d3c92f01
As someone who loves the convenience of sneakers when it comes to working hard, but also needs the support and durability of proper boots, I was excited to try the Carhartt Force Lightweight Sneaker Boot in Men's Coyote.
From the moment I first wore them, I was impressed by the lightweight knit upper and the protective, abrasion-resistant heel and toe counter. The fact that it has a slip and oil-resistant Carhartt Force rubber sole made me feel confident that even though I spend a lot of time working outdoors and being exposed to various weather conditions, these boots would hold up well.
Another notable feature for me was the FastDry technology lining, which kept my feet comfortable and dry during my long, tiring days at work. The light and high rebound EVA midsole, along with the Insite technology comfort footbed, provided the cushioning and support I needed, even after countless hours on my feet.
However, there was one drawback to this otherwise great pair of boots. As mentioned in the title, the boots had a slightly oversized heel and were not as snug or comfortable as I would have preferred. Additionally, while I appreciated the soft toe design, it did make the boots feel looser than I had hoped.
Despite these minor issues, my overall experience with the Carhartt Force Lightweight Sneaker Boot has been positive. It's a versatile and functional boot, perfect for those who want the comfort and flexibility of sneakers, combined with the support and durability you'd expect from a top-notch work boot.

Recently, I had the chance to try out a pair of Carhartt Men's Rugged Flex 6-Inch Waterproof Steel Toe Work Boots in brown. In terms of durability, these boots truly lived up to their promise. The oil-tanned leather and reinforced fabric provided a long-lasting wear that I appreciated as I went about my daily work tasks. The lace closure was a great feature, giving me a more secure and custom fit, which was important to me as I was often on my feet for long periods of time.
One of the standout features for me was the FastDry lining, which helped wick away sweat and fight odors. It kept me feeling fresh and dry even on the warmest days, which was a welcome relief. The composite toe offered excellent protection against impact and compression hazards, and it met ASTM 2413-18 standards. This gave me the peace of mind I needed when working in potentially dangerous environments.
The rubber toe and heel bumpers added stability and protection, while the EVA midsole with cushioned polyurethane insole provided support and shock absorbance. The Rugged Flex rubber outsole offered durable traction and flexibility, making it a great choice for tough outdoor work environments. I also appreciated the secondary protection against incidental contact with electrical circuits of 18,000 volts or less under dry conditions and the ASTM 2413-18 EH standards.
Though the boots were generally comfortable and supportive, there were a few minor drawbacks. One was that the insole was not as cushioned as I would have liked, which made long periods of wear less comfortable. Additionally, I found that they ran slightly big in size, which took some time to adjust to.
Overall, I was very impressed by the Carhartt Men's Rugged Flex Boots. They provided the comfort, support, and protection I needed for my demanding work environments, and I have no qualms about recommending them to others.

🔗Carhartt Ground Force Waterproof Work Boot for Maximum Comfort


https://preview.redd.it/gkg93ub7yc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e46ec3dfbceda06b69adb54668fc4e852f17f51
Imagine a day in the life of a Carhartt Ground Force Men's 6" Waterproof Composite Toe Work Boot wearer. He wakes up to the comfortable, supportive cushioning that reduces fatigue, all thanks to the Carhartt footbed with Insite Technology. He laces up his boots, feeling the durable oiled leather upper and the Storm Defender waterproof, breathable protection keeping feet dry and comfortable. As he starts his day, he heads out into his construction project, walking on earthy and rocky surfaces, his boots standing up to the test.
However, after some time, he notices his soles are starting to crack and peel - a clear sign that these boots aren't as sturdy or durable as he thought they were. The boots he bought 18 months ago should be in good shape by now, but they're not. He wonders about the boot's durability and if it's worth the investment.
He also expresses his dissatisfaction with the customer service. He reached out to the company multiple times but received no response. It seems like the brand isn't as committed to its customers as it claims to be with its products.
Overall, he appreciates the comfortable features of the Carhartt Ground Force Men's 6" Waterproof Composite Toe Work Boot. However, the concerns about the boots' durability and the lack of customer support cast a long shadow over his experience with the product. Would he buy these boots again? It's a difficult question, but the current quality and support issues make it a challenging decision.

🔗Carhartt Men's Oil Tanned Welt Work Boots: Durable, Comfortable, and Versatile


https://preview.redd.it/dpu8b2w7yc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=773e761f47270a607e1268e5c5a9ed3983c26833
I recently tried on the Carhartt 10" Traditional Welt Comp Toe WP Boot, specifically the 15 Men's Brown variant. Right off the bat, I was impressed by the oil-tanned leather and suede upper coated with high abrasion PU. It gave the boot a rugged yet premium feel. One feature that I found quite appealing was the molded rubber toe bumper and the Carhartt Heel Guard. It provided great support and protection to my feet while on the job without compromising on flexibility.
The Storm Defender waterproof protection was another aspect of the boot that stood out to me. Working in a rainy environment, I could feel the water resisting capabilities of the boot. It did a great job protecting my feet from getting soaked.
However, one downside I encountered with these boots was the removable foam cushion insole with TPU arch support. While it offered some comfort, it felt a bit off after some time, giving me unnecessary pressure on my arches.
Another thing I was a bit disappointed with was the rubber lug outsole, which while offering excellent traction and slip resistance, wore out much faster than I expected for a boots in this price range.
In conclusion, overall my experience with the Carhartt 10" Traditional Welt Comp Toe WP Boot was satisfactory. The boots have shown good support and protection for my feet, but they could use some improvements in the comfort and durability departments.

2024.05.17 19:33 vauntedobserver778 Goodyear Asymmetric 5 MO vs. Asymmetric 6 non-MO

Hello all, My Mercedes C220d with 19 inch alloys has come with noisy and bumpy Pirelli runflats. I've read that the thick and stiff runflat sidewalls eventually cause the wheels to crack. So I'd like to replace these at this early stage with normal tyres, and minimise any future headaches.
I like how Goodyear tyres stack up, I'm wondering would it be better to get the previous generation MO tyres or the latest and greatest normal ones?
I've read that MO tyres have better handling and stability, but this is achieved with stiffer sidewalls. (I guess I'm implicitly trying to avoid this to preserve my alloys, but maybe losing the runflat sidewalls would be enough?).
The TyreReviews YouTube channel reviewed the difference between the non-specific versions of these tyres in a Tesla Model 3,, which weighs approximately as much as my C class. He found the 6 is a meaningful iterative improvement over the 5.
However, the 6 is not available in a MO variant. So would you suggest getting the 5 MO, or the 6 non-MO?

2024.05.17 04:48 derroc [MEXICAN SHOE REVIEW] Classic Derby from Miles & Louie, 1 month review

I hope you guys like my reviews because I'm not even halfway through my collection.
Album first: https://imgur.com/a/dWueeFt
Pics from the manufacturer: Pics
Why Mexican shoes? Because I live in Mexico, and they are more affordable and easy to find than other options. Besides, I get to support local business, and that is a big plus for me. Obviously, English is not my first language, so bear with me.
Disclaimer: This review has been completely sponsored by my compulsive shopping. I have not received any free boots or discounts, but if someone wants to give a free pair of boots, my feet are ready.

Brand: Miles & Louie

Miles & Louie is a Mexican brand with a made to order business model. The offices are in Tijuana, but the shoes are made in León I think. Their website prices are in MXN, but they have an Etsy store and ship to the US.
I really like their designs and lasts, it's one of my favorite Mexican brands so far. You can choose one of their models or contact them to customize the shoe.
Website: https://www.milesandlouie.com/men
Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MilesandLouie
Social media: https://www.instagram.com/milesandlouie/

The shoes:

These are some good ol' classic derbies. Not much to review to be honest. Leather uppers, leather lining, leather insole, foam underneath leather insole, leather sole with rubber on the heel. Goodyear welt construction, but the stitching is hidden in the outsole. Beautiful almond shaped last. These are perfect for everyday use. Just match them with a pair of chinos or jeans, and you're good to go. I paid ~$115 USD for this pair, using the 10% discount for the first order. Manufacturing time is 4 to 6 weeks.

Could be better:

The leather edges, where the welt stitching is, have a paint coat. There IS white thread for the stitching, they just have a paint coat to increase contrast. Not an issue per se, but I was kind of disappointed. There's not much information about the leather. I can see some grain in it, so my guess would be top grain or calf. It is thin, but that's what I expected for this model, since it is a classic shoe and not a tough boot. The welt joint is not as clean as I would like, but I can live with that. No manufacturing defects or scratches anywhere.

Sizing:

I used their sizing guide, and I shouldn't have. According to their sizing guide I'm a 8.5 US size, but according to brannock I'm 9D. I ordered the 8.5, and it was a little bit too tight for me. Definitely go with your brannock on these.

Would I buy from Miles and Louie again:

Definitely. I would have ordered already, but I swear my wife is going to divorce me if I come home with another pair of shoes. You'll see what I mean once I finish all my reviews. These 2 models are in the top of my list:

Just months after starting construction on a $175 million project to construct and open a new osteopathic medical school on Buffalo’s West Side, D’Youville University has called a halt to the work that was already underway as it considers whether to proceed or to abandon its plan in favor of a cheaper alternative...
Details on what had happened or why were not available, but financing problems appeared to be the culprit, as the cost of the project has soared because of higher interest rates, as well as construction, material and labor costs. But those have been factors for all construction projects for the past two years, yet there was no prior indication of any problem for D’Youville, until now.
Jemal lays out $4.2M plan to transform Main Street block wgrz.com
Douglas Jemal has detailed his plans for new apartments and facade renovations in several buildings on the 500 block of Main Street.
In a series of applications reviewed this week by the Buffalo preservation board, Douglas Development described a combined $4.2 million worth of work across three related projects and 515-521, 525 and 529 Main.
Two Homes Planned for Main/Woodbridge - Buffalo Rising
The site of a proposed apartment building at the northwest corner of Main Street and Woodbridge Avenue is now targeted for two single-family homes. Property owner Nick Giambra is seeking to split the parcel into two lots oriented towards Woodbridge Avenue. The change in plans comes after pushback from the Central Park Homeowners Association and to comply with deed restrictions on the site that only permit single-family homes.
(Note: I'd prefer main facing properties to have a larger footprint than a SFH, but at least these won't be empty lots much longer)
Financing for new MusicalFare Theatre in Amherst up in air (buffalonews.com)
The Amherst Town Board has reversed its decision to borrow up to $11 million to pay for a new MusicalFare Theatre building at the former Westwood Country Club, an abrupt reversal that leaves the fate of the project up in the air.
The move came after the borrowing received withering criticism from a group of town residents who collected enough petition signatures to put the MusicalFare bond up to a public vote.
Construction Watch: The Lawrence - Buffalo Rising
Work on The Lawrence, a Fruit Belt apartment building, is underway. Symphony Property Management is building the 132-unit apartment project on a site that fronts both Michigan Avenue and Maple Street at the edge of the Medical Campus.
(Note: I really wish this had a commercial street level component to it)

Why Mexican boots? Because I live in Mexico, and they are more affordable and easy to find than other options. Besides, I get to support local business, and that is a big plus for me. Obviously, English is not my first language, so bear with me.
Disclaimer: This review has been completely sponsored by my compulsive shopping. I have not received any free boots or discounts, but if someone wants to give a free pair of boots, my feet are ready.

Brand: FOP Boots

FOP Boots is a small brand from León, Guanajuato, México. They have 3 models in different colors: service, chukka and chelsea boots. They do have stock, but I'm sure they can accommodate some modifications in case you need them.
These were my second pair of boots and still one of my favorites.
Website: https://fopboots.mx/
Social media: https://www.instagram.com/fopboots/

The boot:

It is a heavy, solid, good quality boot. Regular price is ~$160 USD, but I got them at a sale for ~$120 USD. They have a 25% discount right now. They do ship outside of Mexico, but international shipping is not included in the price.

Could be better:

The sole edges (were the stitching is) are a little bit too wide and the pull loop catches my jeans constantly. I'm considering removing it. Nothing more to add to be honest, I love these boots. I'm sure someone will mention the creasing, I don't think that's an issue, just a consequence of regular constant use. They creased differently, it is much more noticeable in the left one (the one in the picture), no idea why.

Sizing:

My boots are labeled 27.5 Mx size and 8.5 US size, which is honestly wrong since the proper conversion would be 9.5 US size. It may be a labeling issue with my particular boots, but you could always ask them about sizing. Order your brannock size. Last width is a D, they do not offer E or EE (not really common in Mexico) but you could ask if they can make one for you.

Would I buy from FOP Boots again:

Sure, but they offer a limited selection, so probably not soon. If someone stole my boots, I would 100% order the same ones again. If I had to buy another service boot, I would ask them to make one without the pull loop and with slimmer sole edges.

Brand: Varonte

Varonte is a Mexican brand of shoes/boots with a made to order model. As far as I know, they don't ship outside of Mexico, but you can always ask. One of the advantage of these small brands is that they are really flexible.
These were my first boots and in general my first pair of goodyear welted shoes. I paid around $100 USD for these boots. Most of the shoes/boots they sell go for $100-$130 which is really cheap for a goodyear welted shoe.

The good:

These boots are made almost entirely of leather. Leather uppers, leather lining, leather sole with a half rubber sole. There seems to be a foam layer underneath the insole. They were comfortable right out of the box, no break in required. I liked the folded leather edges. The QC seems wonderful for the price point. Overall seems like really good value for the money.

The could-be-better:

The upper's leather seems really thin. I didn't find any information about the leather, but chrome-tanned for sure. There's no gusseted tongue, so It slips to the side. I'm sure that's not an issue with the boot per se, but I wish it had a gusseted tongue to avoid that. They had a hand painted patina that I wasn't a fan of, but I used a burgundy shoe cream and is much less noticeable now. The laces they came with seemed really cheap, I changed them for some waxed flat cotton laces from Amazon.

Would I buy from Varonte again:

Sure, great value for the price and several different models to choose from. If I had to buy from them today, I would contact them to ask for a custom shoe with thicker leather, no hand-painted patina, contrasting-color stitching and gusseted tongue.

The important questions:

Are they better than Thursday? No idea, I don't own a pair of Thursday boots but I will update the post once Thursday sponsors me.
What about sizing?>! These were my first boots, so I kind of screwed up and orderer my sneaker size. They are slightly big for me (maybe half size) but that's my fault. It's a D last for sure.!<
Would you say these boots are perfect for getting black-out drunk while drinking red wine? Yes, I think they would hide a red wine stain perfectly. Just wear them with some burgundy pants, bugundy socks and a burgundy shirt and you're good to go.
