    Hey Alexa, i personally don't have any problems with you owning a lot of clothes or a lot of shoes. It's your passion, you shouldn't have to justify yourself about it. Love your videos

      Same but sadly though you just can’t win with this. People used to get really upset about buying too many clothes and buying from fast fashion. Thankfully people have calmed down though. Haven’t really seen the constant comments about this with RUclipsrs since I think around before covid. People were honestly really annoying about it.

      @@theezzie yeaaah, i totally understand why she makes a disclaimer tho. I guess a lot of people have told her that the quantity of stuff she owned was insane. What's cool with Alexa is that she actually thrifts a lot and she is aware of fast fashion's repercutions. Thanks for answering my comment 🥰

    I love shoe collections, wide feet hold me back from super unique shoes but I still love seeing other collections. Also, for weight training like squats, deadlifts,etc you really should be using flat shoes like converse, vans or even bare foot. The cushion adds instability during your lifts. Happy lifting!

    For the little hook for your unif boots you could just go to a small shoe/leather repair shop. They could properly put one in for you and it’s usually very affordable. Love your shoe collection!

  • @Zullala
    @Zullala 2 года назад +4

    Yes! It's always a good idea to look for the item on multiple platforms. You can usually find the seller selling the same exact item for different amounts.
    As a seller myself I end up having items sold for different amounts because I forget about my listings 😅. On macari you can set it to automatically lower the cost of the listing as time progresses. So sometimes my listings on macari tend to be cheaper than my listings on depop. Plus depop fees are out of control!

    I'm a huge shoe enthusiast, so this was so fun to watch! I'd recommend going to a cobbler for tbe missing eyelet on that one pair of boots. I used to break those types of eyelets on my figure skates, and the skate shop always had replacements on hand. I assume a cobbler would work the same way.

This year, and by indication of many, many people, i’m going to invest in solovair

      @@StarrySeagull they could be too small for you. I bought a size 5 and wore them for over a year and never broke them in. Went to a shoe place to get them stretched and the guy told me I should’ve got a size 6. Stretched the shoes; it didn’t work. Sold them; bought a size 6… most comfortable shoes ever. I wear my docs almost every single day comfortably. With the size 5 I got blisters after 30 mins. Definitely try a size bigger. When I tried a size 6 in store, I thought they were too big. Now I realize I was wrong and they were perfect :P

      @@basharalbutseggs8056 this could be true but I've already sized up! I'm usually a size 7.5 in shoes so I got my docs in a size 8. Size 9 felt like clown shoes and I could barely walk in them.

    re breaking in docs, my favorite pair out of the 6 or so that i’ve owned has been a pair with soft leather, least comfortable would be an older pair of 1460 koram flash ones (probably because the leather is thicker and harder). my 1460 pascals didn’t need to be broken in at all!

    Here comes the secret to breaking in Docs: cover them in wonder balsam (leather conditioner- not wax, there's also wax but that's for after) and stick them on your heater vent over night sideways our upside down so that the hot air hit it. Really push it into the heel seem, ankle edges, and anywhere else the leather overlaps. You can also use a hair drier but it takes a loooong time. The next morning it should be soaked in, do it one more time. They'll be soft as butter.

    I’m all about second hand shopping but I can never find ones that are pre-loved and comfortable. I find that if they have been worn like AT ALL, the other person’s weight distribution and foot shape etc has already made an impact on the shoe and then it hurts my foot. Unless it’s second hand but new in the box sort of thing it never works for me! Sad cuz there are some GEMS out there

    Do you find that your new docs squeak at all? I'm trying to break in my 1460s and Pascals and the front soles are so squeaky!! Any thoughts?
