Ohh... Those look great. I would love to wear something like that at work. How can you be sure they will fit?
 



I went to a store and bought them in person. They don't use a standard sizing though, and if I had guessed and bought a size I probably would've had to return them.
 
The person at the store even guessed my size wrong and gave me a pair too small so I had to ask for a bigger size before leaving. You basically have to make sure your big toe fits perfectly in the pocket without being too tight or loose.
 
They are amazingly light though and make walking such a joy. My feet do sweat a lot though and I don't wear them with socks but you can get odor removing balls and also machine wash in warm water and air dry them so it's not a huge deal.

I always thought they looked weird but I needed running shoes fast and I decided to try them on. I love how they feel.

Nice! It's a great car and I'm loving it. It's actually not in black. My first car that's not in black and not manual. It's a Deep Blue that looks great in person, can look black when not lit, but the blue stands out in direct light.

That's amazing you have that many miles on it, but I totally understand. I liked my previous cars, but this is the first car I've loved. I'm hoping to have it for a long time.

My A4 has just 150,000 miles, which is more than 230k, and it's young yet.



My truck is rolling over about the 8th time it's 100,000 odometer. So 800,000 miles
 
But it's almost 60 years old and on it's 5th engine, so it doesn't really matter.
 
 
I did buy a new steering wheel, New-Old stock for it a couple days ago. $20 was a brutal price. I'm cheap.

It's a 1963 Chevy "S-10" which there was only 300 made with the first S-10 emblem on the side. Short cab with short bed.
It's got a 1976's running gear underneath it with a 1984's 458 V8 with custom boat motor heads.

I thought my 1970 Beetle with 400,000 miles was a lot! I better start driving it more.

Well, I've only put on about 60,000 miles myself.
 
The guy that my Grandfather bought the truck from after a year he bought it, my grandfather, my father and me have been driving it the entire time.
 
And I'm still not entirely sure if it's about 800,000 or more, or less. We've just counted how many time's it's been flipped over. I've seen it once, my father 3, and my Gfather 3 times. It's somewhere at 95,000 at the moment, so soon.
