Reply to comment by PageStunning6265 in Guys, ROTHY’S! They don’t have a lifetime guarantee, but I’ve had this pair 6 years and look at them! These were an absolute muddy mess before I threw them in the washer. Bonus, they are even comfortable. by mrsmeesiecks
Other people have also said that the chart online is accurate, so that may help find the best size too!

Reply to A true BIFL jacket, the Stevenson Jacket made by Boathouse. I’ve had mine for over 15 years, rowed multiple seasons in it, wore it shoveling snow, commuting in NYC, and hiking. A waterproof 3 season jacket you can still purchase. by ripgoodhomer
Are you talking about the boathouse that sells skater/surfer clothing? I didn’t think they made anything with more quality than generic brands.

Haha that’s a much better way to look at it! Buying shoes secondhand feels like it’s probably gross to most people, I know my mom judges me haha
And you know they will

The only downside of this jacket is the pocket situation. It has one center pouch pocket under the zipper, and it has one left hand pocket both Velcro and zip. It’s a little bit weird, but from an ergonomic standpoint for rowing it actually makes sense.

Always been thinking about getting something from Boathouse. Probably will

I bet if you took a picture of the logo and posted it to a sub like /r/HelpMeFind, someone might be able to identify it. It's crazy, the knowledge that people on subs like that have (also similar subs like /r/tipofmytongue or /r/whatisthisthing).

Instead of saying “my ( now passed) aunt”, you could just say “my late aunt” or on Reddit since nobody is going to care, you could just say “my aunt”

really? i'm actually genuinely curious about this. i wear ultraboost dna for the support and they're so comfortable but most ballet flats with nothing in them hurt my feet if i wear them more than an hour

Just for future reference, if you’re talking about someone who has passed away, you refer to them as “late”. It was your late aunts pot. It’s a much less clumsy way to get the point across

I have 7 pairs currently and you just persuaded me to buy more.
My oldest pair is 5 years now and I wear those the most. They look impeccable even after all this time.

I’ve been looking at getting them for years and could never justify it! I might go order some right now.

It doesnt have to do with the size of your arches. Whether they are weak or collapsed.

A few people suggested this but I feel like Rothy’s already has a high price tag. If I’m spending money on something I want it to work out of the box. Maybe if I try them on irl and they look amazing on me I could be swayed but I won’t bet on it.
Edit: I’m comparing the price to all birds

I can’t speak to others but I naturally have very high arches

I’m assuming since my jacket is in great condition after pretty regular use that it is a different brand.
