Small questions thread

i'm kind of indifferent to them with t-shirts, but i think wearing waistcoast without a jacket is too 'waiter'.

^ with button ups at least (especially a white one) thats true

how do margiela boots usally fit. from my limited experience like a size big. is that normal with most of them like ann's stuff? anyone know. anyone.

From my experience the one size too big is consistant (buy your Ann size).

Yeah. Exceptions aside I only like them in a traditional getup (three piece).

how to pull off a waistcoat without it looking like some justin timberlake bullshit?

Agreed with Albert on slim dress pants, disagree on the tees. I think pants are key, they don't even have to be very dressy - just don't wear it with blue jeans, that's all.

So, one size down then. How do they fit you over the ankle? I pretty much hate it when my shoes fit too loose around those parts. Also, I pretty much counted on then being loose around the legs, it's actually a part of what I find appealing. The more I think about it them the more I want them, damn it...

Do anyone know if Antonioli accepts returns on sale items? Can find anything about it on their page. If they do I might as well just go ahead and order them...

They are slightly loose around the ankle, so depending on what you think is "too loose" you might have a problem, but they feel more fitted than her Riding Boots from last fall/winter, but that's maybe just me!

There is a setting in iTunes options under the "advanced" tab. One is "Keep iTunes Music folder organized," the other is "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library." You want both of these off.

that's it. i have done it before, and could not remember. when i was on a pc i used to set up the library separate from itunes, but have not done it on the macbook...but now alas, no more space.

thank you

So i bought a pair of slouchy Attachment boots in tokyo, smallest size they had available, and i thought they would fit ok.
Tried them at home and walked to the supermarket and noticed that my right foot almost slips out of the boot.
My question is, would it be possible to glue soft leather on the inner side of the shoe to make it a bit smaller so the foot has more hold?

I already have my orthopedical insoles in there and i amn not sure if it would be enough to put just another insole under mine.
I read that someone put layer on top of his feet to avoid pain with the Poell jointed boots. Thats why i thought about the possibility to permanently put a layer of leather all around the inside of a boot to make it tighter, and maybe even more comfortable.

Any help would be apreciated

for womens shoes they have these adhesive pads that wrap around the achilles tendon portion of the inside of the shoe. Kind of gently forces your foot forward and minimizes forward/backward slippage. Sounds like that's all you need (I think)! They're way cheap and removable.

[theaddict]

Wow, that sounds exactly like this would be the solution.
Any pic or brand/store online?
I need something to describe it to people here in Seoul since they dont understand my need sometimes.
thanks so much Albert

[Chinorlz]

something like this... I think they're called heel liners.

They make leather covered ones, gel ones or this style too!



In the US, they carry them at the pharmacy next to the Dr. Scholl's stuff. Should be very inexpensive!

[theaddict]

Cooool, will try that! Thanks so much Albert again, i was so fucked up yesterday and already prepared a sales thread...
Will try it, hopefully they have that stuff here in Korea...
Cheers

Also search under Heel Pads. Tongue pads are another common thing for the same purpose. You can use both. One is stuck to the heel, the other to the shoe right above the top of your foot.
