Deformed though my feet may be,  I have taken on the onerous task of checking out all new boot collabs  personally.  Thanks for your interest Geo (but piss off)….............

The Buffalo has a really nice texture and is 4mm thick - IH Gauge….

Took a nice little stroll today in the sunshine.

[Giles]

How are you finding that sole in the snow?  Next IH/Viberg is likely going to be a short shift…..

[Jii]

To be honest….

...they are (were) slippery as hell (sideways). I haven't had any problems with my Red Wings so I thought people were exaggerating when talking about the problems with the Vibrams. Luckily (or unluckily according to my wife usually  ;D)  I'm a bit of a DIY-kind of guy so after nearly killing myself outside I grabbed a ruler and a carpet knife and made 6 vertical 4 mm wide grooves per sole. Theyre not visible from anywhere but from the underside but the outcome is that there are zero traction problems. So I'm happy. Really happy.

[Giles]

Cool

[hectic]

Superblack and I'm there.

Jii - would you mind throwing up a shot or two of the  "diy" work on your Viberg sole.  I live in a very rainy environment and have been unhappy with only one aspect of my Viberg boots, the slip factor.  Any suggestions on the matter would be more than appreciated.
