  • Do you need sneakers, or would boots be an option? If so, that opens the door to Goodyear welted boots whose soles can be replaced when they’re worn out by a cobbler. They’re also generally comfortable (especially after being broken in). You can go from premade boots (e.g., redwing) to custom boots; costs escalate quickly the more bespoke they are, obviously.

    There are some Goodyear welted sneakers, but boots are probably easier to find.

    I know it’s probably not the most popular suggestion, but the goodyearwelt subreddit is a great place to look for recommendations and reviews and post questions.

















  • Possible Act 1 Spoilers re: Goblin Camp

    I managed to get into the Goblin Camp temple without killing anyone outside the big front doors. Once inside, I ended up killing everyone. When I tried to walk back out the front door, everyone went hostile. I ran back in and they didn’t follow, which was odd, but okay. I didn’t think I’d be able to beat the mass horde outside in a giant melee battle, so instead I blessed, bard songed, and sanctuaried Asterion and gave him the misty step necklace. He walked outside by himself and was beset by everyone, but he managed to dash, misty step, and hide his way to safety. From there, he poked around the edges, picking off single foes with his long bow and causing some chaos before sneaking back into the shadows. On my third probe, though, I got careless, and it looked like he might get overrun. Then the other three emerged into a now empty courtyard with the goblins all looking away. Wiped out the rest of the goblins and cleared the whole camp. Ultimately, my favorite part of this whole thing is imagining my PC bard telling Asterion inside the temple, “So, I know you’re not going to like this, but I’ve got a plan to get us out of here…”
