6 month update.

Just shy of 4 months of everyday wear. one soak, one ocean wash.

what size are you wearing, and dose it shrink a lot?

size 30. I didn't soak it since it states its Tenpi treated and should not shrink anymore. If it does, it should be very minimal and should stretch back.

I needed a new pair since my thighs busted out the last ones. I decided to pick up the MIJ. They are a lot softer than I thought they'd be. Pretty happy with my purchase. I've had them for about 3 weeks and I already see some electric blue poking out. I'm excited to see how these age.

Spikesx001 Just shy of 1 year. 4 soaks 2 washes so far.

Yes, they were tapered by Railcar.

710's, about 10 months of wear so far.

Spikes X001, 7 months.

1 wash 3 soaks.

Went for a hike at sunset and took a few photos of my 710's.  It's been too hot to wear them the past few months so hopefully it will cool down soon.

About 8 months of wear, 2 washes.

I got my 710's back from Railcar this morning. I'm extremely pleased with their alterations. It fits so much better now. They even threw in a free t-shirt and some goodies too.

Okay, well, rather than try to sell these and by another one sized down. I'd rather spend a little at Railcar to get the waist and thighs taken in. Luckily they are only an hour drive's away. thanks guys.

I already sized down 1 and did 2 hot soaks for 4 hours per time. I've heard about machine washing and putting in the dryer, but from what I've heard it can give you strange creases. 

I just bought a pair of 710's.  I thought I got the measurements right to get them tapered properly. But they are still a bit wide on the thighs and hips area. It gives me a bit of hip flare. Any ideas on how to shrink it? Or should I just get them tapered again? Would rather not spend another $60 at Railcar, but I don't wanna wear a pair of jeans for 2+ years that look odd.
