Is anyone keeping a list of suede TS make ups ordered by AEAT guys? I was wondering if anyone has ordered a bone suede Leeds.

And, can anyone who has seen them both describe bone suede vs sand suede (as used on the MD chukka?)

I made a list here, but not too many people have added in their order.

Can you point to any good online resources about diet re: gout?

There are no great studies on any diet doing anything. Most of the studies are of poor evidence, collected as epidemiological studies that are mostly trash. We have a lot of anecdotal evidence only. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/316111

@ae_ashley are the new denim Strandmok’s fully lined? Any thoughts on the sole, will it have the longevity of a “real” Dainite sole?

Thanks - I've been meaning to get more serious about keto, and what I've experienced over the last week has been the kick in the butt that I've needed.

I have come to the conclusion that suede is made and the color is declared after. Going back to #Olivegate a few years ago. AE had three oliveish colors around the same time. I picked up the Loden but they had olive and slate. As one color stopped another popped up.

Santa Moks with olive Dainite. What a great combo. Thanks for the sole change!

They are not fully lined. The sole is definitely softer than Dainite. Even though it is not fully lined, it does not seem to be a width looser than some models of the Strandmok. After having them on my feet, my conclusion is less durable than Dainite but for those of you who cannot stand Dainite this may be a better option. The Ishtide sole is a gum derivative. I have never personally worried about sole durability since my collection got over 10 pairs.

I recommend you listen to the 2 keto dudes episodes from the beginning. Lots of info on ketogenicforums.com. Also good stuff from Ivor Cummins on heart risk indicators. I’m a fan of Shawn Baker, too.

Thanks for the reply! Interesting they don’t seem to be looser, go with my normal 65 last size?

If you had to swap them out for Dainite, what color would work? Blue?

I plan on getting this Strandmok in April. Thanks for the info on it. I’m not concerned about the durability. Dainite is a bit hard for my preference anyway. I only worry about single house-leather durability. I chew through that very fast!

I bet red, brown, and even olive would work
