Sounds awesome Finn/Rafa! Which last btw? Looking forward to see some pics once you receive them.

Thanks guys!

@davito those VMC 25th anniversary engineer boots look awesome. I really like that they are made on the 2030 last, not that I wouldn't like 2005 last but 2030 is still my favorite.

hehe.. that's the plan @rocket!

A bunch of pics of the Boondockers made for Rivet & Hide. Received them few days ago. Big thanks to Danny and Junior (and my GF ;))

Looking good! That brown suede/roughout packer.. Does it have unconstucted / soft toe box?

Those sand suede service boots looks great, thanks for sharing the pics bl@aster!

Thanks madmonday & mijama! I've been really pleased with them. Buffalo & buffalo roughout is a great leather.

I have absolutely nothing against SF group orders, but I find it a bit strange if Viberg will allow SF to still offer 4 people group buys from now on. Especially as Giles has been kind enough to arrange group orders for a lot longer than SF and for a price that is way cheaper for European customers (because of customs/taxes).

Personally I don't feel that there is a need to apply any wax/polish to shell cordovan after every 15 wear or so. I much prefer the color to age naturally. But then again, I'm not after highest possible shine. I only apply a thin coat of venetian creme once in a year or two. Other than that, I just brush dust / wipe dirt of after use (and keep the shoes in shoetrees when not using them).

It is Horween's natural chromexcel after some wear, stunning pair.
