how much they quote u anyways?
oh the sample sale was last year....

maybe they thought ure fronm SF so they charge u higher than normal?

if i were u i'll wait for viberg MTO....

true that....

looks interesting enough...

im looking for a monkey boots for my collections. was thinking of lonewolf wireman. if they can custom made a monkey boots with items i wanted then heck why not....

yeap but the design kindda not what im hopping for...

i like this kind of style...

couldnt afford a mccoy which cost around rm4k.

thorogood yeah... should be ok i guess...
though mine still on lonewolf linesman because of catspaw... and the damn tough leather....

In emergency cases such as need to go to the toilet the speed hook will save from embarasment lol

got venetian shoe cream thou mostly i'll use obenaufs for most of my boots and shoes...

as long as u take a good care of the leather... either is fine...

It did change color a bit but not too obvious for my IR. Both of my vibergs are on the heavyweight leather especially the 310 last and using obernaufs means i dont need to apply regularly ( i apply it around 3 months per apply or 6 months if im too lazy) and the leather still good.

Venitian cream i use it if i really wanna shine my viberg cxl.

I got it free with the purchase of my viberg boots.

Yeap heard it before and have seen the product with my very own eyes. Quite nice for a beginner. Looks sturdy enough.

Nice haul there. How much the damage?

darn its getting more expensive these days... especially the currency thingie and also viberg steadily increasing the price....

i dont have whites so i cant comment on it.

did chat with a friend of mine who have both Whites and vibergs. he likes both of them thou in price wise he'll say whites are a good choice while vibergs craftsmanship viberg wins on that section.

i love the back heels contour (looks so wild -wild west cowboy boots) on whites but i have a fetish for the viberg 310 last....

last time whites can be bought around rm1.4k if im not mistaken

i bought the viberg for rm2.8k 2 years ago plus shipping so yeah....

a hobby is a hobby regardless on how much u spend lol... some just becomes an obsession.... either way as long as they are happy with that i guess why not?

hahaha ok2... no need to go this deeper than it is.... for me if ure thinking about budget wise... go for white's. its still a well made boots i reckon. the important thing is to me personally is how much ure going to enjoy wearing it.

Not really lah. I wear boots most of the times. Does not feel hot. Maybe most ppl think wearing leather boots will make ur feet hot personally for me its not really true. PVC made boots maybe, leather boots? Personally no for me.

Even for the heavyweight leather boots i dont feel any discomfort in terms of hot/warm.

i would go for sagara since the description of the boots quite detailed.

thou MTO sagara boots gonna be around 6 to 8 months (probably more) to be completed.

as for thursday boots, a friend of mine said the leather is from local, not horween leather which gonna cost u a lot more

A friend of mine did a MTO with sagara. Catspaw sole and horsehide leather if im not mistaken. He waited for almost a year and constant bombardment of emails later, he got the boots. I quote his word when asked about the build and quality as "decent".

it will... got mine for a couple of years now... with some care here and there the boots seems like brand new.

thou i noticed if i oiled my cxl boots the color sometimes will stick to my hands.
