>>2753216The price is funny for a piece of rubber and some straps. You can DIY something like that for 1/3 price.
>>2753216how did they not break their ankles the second a single drop of water got between their feet and the sandal? I have sandals perfectly molded to my feet but as soon as any wetness occurs they get slipperier than a Chicago politician in a baby oil bath.>>2753225>obvious trolling slang term>"THE STATE OF EDUCATION"Jesus Christ you people are sensitive little morons. I'm guessing you probably also have a heart attack because we write "July 10th, 2024" as 07/10/24 like logical people.
no you can't idiot
>>2753231Mutts waste unholy amounts of money and then die alone and destitute after accumulating debt. Such is the curse of hog people, germs are the same.
>>2753259>>2753231I'm currently researching how I can make something that looks a lot like a pair of caligae but that have a modern base. Rubber or plastic or whatever. Want them to be practical for hiking as well as outdoor rock climbing
>>2753286Why can't you just be normal?
>>2753231>>2753259I didn't realize Europeans just wake up in the morning and seethe because their playgrounds their call their forests are now filled with migrants.It's polyurethane, vibram rubber, and nylon webbing, made in us, and resoleable for a product that lasts over 3000 miles.Your average trail runner made of eva, mesh, off brand sole, and pig leather, made by 3rd worlders costs the same and gets 500 miles.Sure you can DIY for cheaper.>>2753251Who are you talking to?
>>2753216>2,800 miles / 4,500kmWe can see the Vibram logo. It’s a very popular brand, but nothing spectacular about any of the soles they make. We know this claim is bullshit>it was in EuropeSo he travelled that far by bus and by train. Cool story.
>>2753216I really don't care. I'm still using my hiking boots.
>>2753234>le I was just trolingclassic
>>2753313Kek we summoned the lardlord.
>>2753216These look great OP, what kind of shoes are they? I need new sandals for hiking, my birkenstocks and chaco sandals usually die after a year or two of constant wear
>>2753231That would be crocs anon.This is 3 different pieces of foam/rubber.While i honestly prefer Adidas beach sandals for my hiking, the strap is most likely better..
>>2753226>1 feet
>>2753362>wot sandalshttps://bedrocksandals.com/pages/compare-sandals
>>2753216those look great. ive been wearing the same pair of luna sandals like these since 2016 and theyre still in great shape. just the footbed is getting worn so looks kinda rough but still passable
>>2753461the unit is feet per nanosecond. it's written with a slash so you know it's the unit. "one foot per second" and "1 feet/nanosecond" are both accurate and equivalent.>>2753226my favorite conversion is the speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles per second. I found this one to be particularly astonishing when I first learned the subject
>>2753349Oh yeah he must really not know the word "kilometer." Jesus fucking Christ Yuros are almost as stupid as they are elitist.
>>2753586>hecan you stop pretending you're not the OP? it's so embarrassing.>he must really not know the word "kilometer."Playing stupid now? Go back to plebbit.
>>2753234>how did they not break their ankles the second a single drop of water got between their feet and the sandal? I have sandals perfectly molded to my feet but as soon as any wetness occurs they get slipperier than a Chicago politician in a baby oil bath.Can't speak for Bedrock but the grip on Luna soles is crazy, I use them for water crossings etc. and my feet don't budge. Feels like those dry-grip yoga mats even underwater. I replaced Teva Hurricanes and Chacos with the molded sole that had the slippy problem
>>2753286You van by vibram soles in plates
>>2753642Correction: "can buy"
>>2753543>>2753602>>2753543>>2753375Op here. Nice reddit spacing fags but forgot this is /nuout
>>2753725that's not reddit spacing you newfag
>>2753225>July 11th, 2024>Eleventh of July, 2024When you think about it like that, complaining is stupid. Both are equally fine Also it's not like imperial measurements are intended to be scaled like that. There's no reason to measure the length of a wall in miles, inches and feet will suffice. The benefits in conversion don't really mean anything when people operate at completely different scales
>>2753753The problem is when you use short-form. >12/01/24According to the entire world outside of the USA, that's January 12, but according to the USA, it's December 1st. Pretty retarded.
I've owned two pairs of bedrocks. They're very comfy and have a near non-existant breaking period. I think my longest hike with them is only a few dozen miles though.
>>2753754Don't talk to Americans then?
>>2753216I have xero runners and vibram toe shoes and they have their issues. With the xeros they blister your feet and with the tevas your toes get worn out well before your legs do. But I have longer middle toes than my big toes.
>>2753759Xeros are nice to wear. It just feels so good to have a wide toe box. Haven't had any blister issues yet. Where do you get them?
>>2753759I meant the vibrams sorry. I have had two pairs of tevas as well and birkentstock arizonas in leather and in foam. Out of those 5 pairs of sandals the leather birkenstocks are by far the best. And I wore them until all the cork disintegrated and had to throw them out. The foam ones are what I have now and the front part tears when you catch them on something. The other wird thing about these xeros is they give you WAAAAY too long of straps. The vibrams toe shoes I have are the cvt hemp ones and these are my second pair because I wore out the first ones. Also cholla cactus goes right fucking through them. I wore them to the superstition mountains and was stepping on jumping cactus mines the entire time. I reccomend leather birkenstock arizonas out of any sandal I have had.
>>2753762On the ball of my feet right where I put my weight. The footbed also wore on that part and I've probably only walked 20 miles in them at this point. I'll take a picture when I get home I'm at the gym right now.
>>2753766Oh also thr teva hurricanes were black and in the Arizona sun they heat up and burn your feet. And they were too squishy and felt weird especially if you smoked weed. I had to take them off when I smoked weed because the sensation was so weird.
>>2753768Cheers. Enjoy the gym
>>2753216>absolutely not an adWhen I was living in Japan for a while, I was using cheap chinese martial arts shoes because it was to hot and humid for boots. ~15 bucks for one pair, mad only of a thin rubber sole and some canvas. Used them for more than a year, doing 50-100km per week, so something around 4000km. They still had half the profile left after that.tl;dr: if you want to shill your crap, at least make it sound good. 4500km is nothing much.
pretty cool desu senpai
>>2753768>>2753770

>>2753831>newfag uses terms he doesn't understand
>>2753725>HOW DARE YOU USE PUNCTUATION >REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>2753842>reddit spacing is punctuationlol
>>2753824Well that sucks. Those do look awfully soft which I'm guessing is causing that?
The PCT is long and hard as fuck but not brushy or dangerous to walk on at all. In fact, you can do the whole thing on a horse. Perfect trail for sandals. Almost all hikes here you'd be cut up and shit. I love when I can use my sandals but it's almost never.
I am wear CHACO'S for walk many miles (30km per day); you are mad
>>2754108What is that like 3 miles
>>2753216sandals are nice and all but dont you guys find it eventually leads to just going barefoot. like i only put my sandals on if theres a shit ton of zebra mussels to contend with. i dont even bother if its just barnacles, surely the skin on the bottom of our feet is designed for grip and to take a beating.
>>2753842>>2753833>>2753729Go back
>>2753225American Imperial units describe the human experience, SI units are for laboratories and manufacturing. Blow it out your ass.
>>2756727Kek they have such an attachment to the confusion units.
>>2753831>>2753833"Reddit" spacing was used on 4chan, before reddit was even a thing.
Would pic related work for hiking? It's hot af in suthern europe and I was thinking about hiking in sandals, but then I realized caligae were a thing and they offer ankle support too. Do you know if larp ones are high quality or will they break down after using them?
>>2756991forgot pic
>>2756991Why do you keep trying to make this a thing? Larp as a Roman legionary if you want to, nobody is going to stop you. You're going to discover that caligae suck and modern shoes don't.
>>2757000>Why do you keep trying to make this a thing?first time I asked about this.
>>2757002Ok, I guess all the oddly specific caligae posts I've seen for months were purely coincidental
Boot bros, how the fuck do you deal with sore pinkie toes?
I've been hiking in Chacos with socks for years, and can't recommend it enough.If you're worried about looking like a dork in the woods try therapy.
>>2757022Chop it off
>>2757022Make sure the boots are well broken in, try different combinations of insoles and socks of varying thickness, else change boots. Most modern footwear is not anatomic and causes health issues.
>>2756727obligatory
>>2757073Kek, somehow hadn't seen that one yet.
>>2757000>You're going to discover that caligae suckPeople walked in it for centuries and we still talk about Rome today. yeah, I get the larp aspect today. But fuck it, return to sandals man. feels good on the toes.
>>2753216>stubs toe
>>2753216or get a set of boots and avoid looking like a streetshitter

>>2753225Metric has it's place--usually in third world countries with low IQ populations. The sciences that matter don't use metric or standard because the universe isn't in intervals of either you mouthbreathing retard.>>2753216>I hiked 2800 miles in sandlesEnjoy your back and leg problems when you hit 40. Young people always think they're tough and do stupid shit and then it catches up to them.
>>2757134The Romans wore shoes you historically ignorant retard.
>>2757340>Enjoy your back and leg problems when you hit 40Brother I started hiking in sandals in my late 30s and the results after ten years are nothing but positive. Eschew dogma, embrace performance.
>>2753831This was normal and never called reddit spacing until the election tourists from reddit. Really makes you think.
>>2757347>things that didn't happenThe only think you're eschewing is truth.Keep lying, tell another big one so I can keep laughing at your obvious stupidity.
>>27573472800 miles over 10 years is 280 miles a year or around 23 miles a month.I do 23 miles in ONE DAY of a multi day hike.JFC if you're going to brag about something don't be so embarrassingly obvious about trying to make your pathetic numbers look impressive.
>>2757357>>2757359These anonymi think there's only one other person on the Internet.

>>2757370>schizophrenic shadowboxinglamo indeed.
>>2757375nice cope--this is the part where you get completely incoherent because you think 20 miles a month is a lot and are mad that I'm laughing at how pathetic you are.>here comes the incoherent screeching
>>2757384It's just 4chan friend calm down. Let's talk about the best hiking footwear!
>>2757340>The sciences that matter don't use metric or standard because the universe isn't in intervals of either you mouthbreathing retard.best example of dunning-krugar I've seen in a long time.
>>2757389>Incoherent screeching
>>2757392lolI love it when someone who doesn't know shit about science says something like thisHave a you english major haver.
Why are we arguing about insignificant things like the metric system and sandals when there's still true injustice in the world?
>>2757395>>2757340Can you tell me about Newton's second law? What units are used?Can you tell me what units astronomers use to measure distances?
>>2753766>>2757389>WAAAAY too long of strapsWhy don’t you just cut them and restitch the end part, or just burn the ending after cutting with a lighter to stop it from fraying. First option is better.https://youtu.be/bsaditut48E
>>2757421Why not both? Melt the end to prevent fraying, and sew in a fold to give yourself a handle and prevent the strap from slipping out of the buckle.My chacos only have about 0.2 light-nanoseconds of free strap. That's about half a hand for you imperial folks. Seems about right.
>>2757334>sweat>it dries>cool dry feetthanks anon
>>2753225Using month, day, then year puts the information in order of relevance for most people. If I was about to be dropped in the middle of nowhere and had to prepare for the weather, that's the order I'd want it in. Not that it matters much either way
>>2757516>Desperate hail Mary to defend confusion units.
>>2753631For me it's not the soles that's the problem, it's the insoles. If my feet get wet they slide off the sandals when walking downhill and sandals with a thong between the toes hurt my webbing. Do you just suck it up until you get calluses between your toes?
Bedrocks are neat. Hiked a couple of long trails in mine. They have their time and place. Not great on some terrain though.
Just got some earth runners (circadian)tell it to me straight, did i fall for the meme
Does anyone know where to get size US15-16 hiking sandals? I've been wanting to try it out but cannot find anything in my size
>>2757399>Let me use centuries out of date examples of antiquated science Exactly what I'd expect from a midwit who has never actually done any real science. I doubt you even know what a partial derivative is much less how to calculate one.
>>2757399alsoThey use Astronomical unites or relate it to our sun's solar diameter and mass you fuck faced retard. The average distance from earth to the sun normalized to a unit is the most common.So, again, you're laughably stupid.
>>2757955>the laws of physics don't count if they were discovered before the current centuryget a load of this brainlet.>They use Astronomical unites or relate it to our sun's solar diameter and mass you fuck faced retard. Astronomical unites are based on the metric system, you fuck faced retard.>The astronomical unit (symbol: au,[1][2][3][4] or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to 149,597,870,700 m.you are just as stupid and uninformed as your demeanor indicates.
>>2757970Thanks for verifying you have zero clue at all what you're talking about wikepedia warrior.The only thing more laughable than how stupid you are his how far out of your intellectual league you're trying to argue.An AU is the average distance between the sun and earth over a year. You simply converted it to metric, the measurement itself has nothing to do with metric.God damn you're retarded--keep going wikepedia warrior.
>>2757973The AU is defined by a distance measured in meters.>The astronomical unit (AU) is a standard unit of measurement for distances within our solar system. It is defined as: >1 AU = 149,597,870,700 meters >This is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, and it serves as a convenient scale for measuring the vast distances between objects in our solar system. >Note that the AU is not a fixed distance, as the orbit of the Earth around the Sun is elliptical, and the distance between the two bodies varies slightly over the course of the year. However, the defined value of 1 AU is a reliable and stable average distance that has been adopted as a standard unit of measurement in astronomy.
>>2757973I'd also like you to explain to me why Newton's second law is no longer valid in the field of physics.
>>2757980First point out to me where it is still used by physicists. This should be amusing.
>>2757978>No linkObviously you're an idiot.
>He doesn't know about the measurement problem lol
>>2757981>>2757982>>2757983this is the same retard spamming /pol/ with nukes aren't real threads
>>2757981Newton's second law, F = ma, is a fundamental principle in physics that relates force, mass, and acceleration. It has numerous applications in modern physics, including: Particle Physics: In high-energy collisions, forces and accelerations are crucial in understanding particle interactions and properties. Astrophysics: Newton's law helps describe celestial motion, galaxy rotation curves, and star formation. Condensed Matter Physics: It's used to study material properties, phase transitions, and transport phenomena. Biophysics: Forces and mechanics are essential in understanding biological systems, such as protein folding, cell mechanics, and muscle contraction. Robotics and Control Systems: Newton's law is applied in designing and controlling robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles. Materials Science: Understanding forces and stresses is crucial in developing new materials and optimizing their properties. Nuclear Physics: Forces and energies are critical in understanding nuclear reactions, fission, and fusion. Space Exploration: Newton's law is used in trajectory planning, propulsion systems, and understanding spacecraft dynamics. Medical Physics: Forces and mechanics are applied in medical imaging, radiation therapy, and understanding human physiology. Computational Physics: Numerical simulations rely on Newton's law to model complex systems and phenomena.These are just a few examples of the many areas where Newton's second law remains a cornerstone of modern physics.>nooooo you can't use AI that's cheating!!! you have to waste your own time on my retardation
>>2757987Nice try to gaslight and well poison but no you're just an idiot.Plank units aren't in metric retard--they are rounded to metric when convenient (emphasis on rounded).>>2757989So, in conclusion, you can't link one paper that applies this formula.Try again. Just one paper--prove to me you can actually read scientific literature (which you can't) before I openly mock you for saying nothing and supporting it with nothing.Look up the IAU before you embarrass yourself even more.You know absolutly nothing about any of those topics--that much is obvious.Link something to substantiate any of your points: oh wait, you can't.
>>2757989>he doesn't know that Newton wrote the equations unitless and bounced between several types of units LOL
>>2757991here you gohttps://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Classical_Mechanics/Classical_Mechanics_(Dourmashkin)/08%3A_Applications_of_Newtons_Second_Lawimagine having such a low IQ that you need someone to spoon feed this stuff to you...>>2757992and modern science has settled on the metric system. what's your point?
>>2757991>Just one paper--prove to me you can actually read scientific literatureno one needs to prove anything to you, as you've already demonstrated yourself to be a complete and utter retard. please leave this board immediately and never come back. you are a shame to your entire bloodline.
>>2757993"They arise from observation and experimentation, and they have limited ranges of applicability."Ahahahhahaha, you didn't even fucking read your own source. God damn you're retarded and embarrassingly stupid.>>2757993>Modern science settled on metricLOL, nice straw man retard. Re read what I wrote and feel bad about being an idiot.The measurements that matter are not in metric--they are rounded to metric for convenience. JFC you're super stupid.>>2757994lolnice cope idiot.I love that you retarded science worshipers clearly don't even know the basics of actual science.LOL Idiots coping.
>>2757998>herp blerp derpnice reddit spacing. you have to go back (and take your meds while you're at it)
>>2757993let me throw you a bone before you embarrass yourself move about Newton (who didn't use metric as you clearly believe he did)https://books.google.com/books?id=Tm0FAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q&f=false
>>2757999>I am out of my intellectual league: the concessionthe cope is palpable.
>>2758000>>2758002>look at me mommy I'm retarded
>>2758005yesThe measurements that matter aren't in metricThanks for confirming and for the concession that you're indeed stupid as all hell.lolcontinue--you're just seething at this point.
>>2758006The metric system is widely used across various scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and biology. Here are some examples: Physics: Example: In physics, the metric system is used to measure fundamental quantities like length, mass, and time. For instance, the speed of light is measured in meters per second (m/s). The universal constant for the speed of light in a vacuum, denoted as cc, is approximately 299,792,458m/s299,792,458m/s. Chemistry: Example: Chemists use the metric system to measure substances' quantities and concentrations. A common unit is the mole, which represents 6.022×10236.022×1023 particles (Avogadro's number). Concentrations of solutions are often expressed in moles per liter (mol/L), known as molarity. Astronomy: Example: Astronomers use metric units like kilometers (km) and astronomical units (AU) to measure distances within our solar system. For interstellar distances, light-years or parsecs are used. For instance, the distance from Earth to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is approximately 4.24 light-years or 1.3 parsecs. Biology: Example: In biology, metric units are essential for measuring biological samples, such as cell sizes or chemical concentrations. For instance, the size of cells and microorganisms is often measured in micrometers (µm), where 1 µm is 10−610−6 meters. Concentrations of substances in a biological sample might be expressed in micrograms per milliliter (µg/mL).These examples highlight the versatility and global standardization of the metric system, facilitating consistent and accurate scientific measurements across disciplines.
>>2753216What are some recommendations for good brands where the straps won't cause blisters and brush burns? Moneys not an issue for me
>>2757905>>2758009Soooooooooooooocks and Chacos.Chaco Z1 don't have a toe loop, so you can wear normal socks. If you buy sandals with a toe loop (or thongs) you'll need toe socks like this gentleman: >>2757908

You keep repeating the same stupidty.>BiologyLOLTHE MEASURMENTS THAT MATTER ARENT METRIC.You're so dumb its unreal how little you clearly understand about science.
>>2758008I also love that you gave up on the newton argument after the book he wrote was posted definitively proving you have no idea what you're talking about.
>>2758026why do you keep responding with this incoherent gibberish and reddit spacing? who are you talking to at this point?
>>2758029>I am too stupid to understand anything you wroteFTFY. Seriously, why are you commenting on something clearly beyond your intellectual depth in the first place?
>>2758031I tip my fedora to you good sir. Have a nice day.
>>2758036I just wanted to talk about sandals and some science cultist just had to star reading lines out of their bible. Embarrassing really how few science cultists can't comprehend that science is loaded with imaginary and infinite constants and that all measurements are relative.
