Hello I need some resistant and durable farm work shoes that would be used for hiking too (so better if waterproof) and read a lot on Reddit on other posts about barefoot shoes and boots and still didn’t make a choice.

From all what I can note (tell me if I’m wrong or correct):
- Jim Green (African Ranger "barefoot"): the most quoted and top of quality and very durable BUT 1. they are not waterproof 2. they have a toe box tapering to the front and are based on traditional shoes with and are not trully barefoot shoes (plus their other shoes are still not barefoot so maybe not a nice idea to fund this company).
- Bearfoot: also quoted a lot BUT 1. Some issues with quality 2. very bas customer service.
- Lems: one of the most quoted BUT 1. they have issus with durability (according to many people)
- Freet: nice barefoot shoes with a wide toe box and nice alternative to the Jim Green. But 1. they are not resoleable. Didn’t find a lot of info about resistance and durability.

What do you think and what would you suggest?

Those are the most suggested I read about but if you know nice other brands you can talk about them.

Thanks

Hello which brands would you suggest for grounding/earthing conductive shoes apart from Earth Runners?

For example 100% leather or any other free rubber material for outsoles or any non rubber material.

Preferably in Europe to avoid a lot of custom fees but if you know nice ones outsode of Europe you can suggest it too, thanks

Hello do you know where it's possible to get tabi style shoes direclty in Europe without having to pay a lot of custom fees? From the original japanese brands like Kineya, Marugo but also other brands if there are in Europe and if nice quality (not Amazon or Temu)...

First I wanted to order the Earth Runners ION SYNC ones even if out of Europe for their specific grounding conductive technology but they are out of stock even in the original website (quirk of fate looks like many people buy the ER without even trusting in grounding/earthing shoes and people like me that really want it for that in fine can't get it lmao)

Hello apart from putting music downloaded from a computer are there other ways and more easy and fast ways to put music?
For example from a phone with a tip C USB key (I have a Sandisk one which work wth the phone app Memory Zone).

Or interested to know about other ways too.

Also how do you do if you travel sometimes without having a computer?

Thanks

Hello,

If having the choice would you suggest to play before to A Link to the Past (GBA) or to Link’s Awakening DX (Gameboy color)?

Some would say A Link to The Past in the chronological story order and others would say Link’s Awakening before according to the release date and the graphism…

If I play to A Link t the past before could Link’s Awakening DX be more annoying for me or could I find it less good after because of the graphism and console/release date? That’s what I’m a bit afraid of.

If you have advices and arguments thanks

Did you hear or read about grounding phone charging and what do you think about this concept scientifically?

I just discovered a French brand called Wicaya selling it as an « anti-waves » charger and I’m wondering about its efficiency.

The brand also presents its product as a world first (if you know other brands doing the same thing I’m also inteterested to know).

I put the link and a translation of its explanations and brand’s informations into a post on the comment section.

Hello, at home I always soak all my seeds in sprouters, large glasses or bowls during 8-12h before cooking them (with lukewarm water + a few lemon drops to activate the sprouting process) to reduce the anti-nutrients and phytic acid before eating them and I’m looking for a way to soak entire seeds (cereals like barley, oats, rice, and legumes like lents, beans, chickpeas, so not just nuts) to cook while doing hiking, trekking or travelling doing bivouac.

The thing is the glass is heavy, plus the water it needs.

Are there devices adapted to that, or if people in my case have ideas, suggestions?

Thanks
