@Chiba:

I see that there has been some interest on here for the Viberg "Boondockers" boot that was a special makeup for Nick Horween. Brett Viberg has offered to do this boot as a special makeup with Styleforum, based on strong interest expressed by members there. Have a look at the thread, and jump on board!

thanks Chiba

If G wasn't already doing something for me, I would jump on that in a heartbeat!

edit, they're going with commando soles, blah!

[Chiba J.]

That hasn't actually been decided yet. And I would only agree to it if it's the sole where the front lugs are hidden and recessed.

gonna own my first pair really soon 

[bagley920]

Whatcha getting Rafa?

[joesaintjohn]

Seriously considering the 4 horsemen. It's been months of window shopping. I'm just in love with that black buffalo rough out.

[joesaintjohn]

Yeah, Finn…tell us your build.

fixed

[bagley920]

If G wasn't doing mine, I would have copped those eventually

[joesaintjohn]

Yeah, G's building by blues, and I'm super pumped. I'm just trying to self rationalize that 3 pairs of VBs isn't too excessive. Key word TOO

[Finn666]

can´t wait, since imo the 4HS is one of the best looking boots around!…

edit:
really looking forward to your guys boots though...sounds pretty interesting imo!

[madmonday]

3 pairs isn't over the top.

in fact i applaud your commitment to quality goods, that is really moving like a Boss.  why talk about it if you can be about it.

**got to put my boots in here, got one or two i need to memorialize before they get some wear on them this fall/winter season

3 pairs that will last you longer than probably your current job, thats how you rationalize it!

Wearing boots or shoes in rotation (i.e. only one day at a time) increases their lifespan significantly as they have time to dry out. So multiple pairs of Vibergs will be saving you money over the long term.

[Seul]

So in short, agreeing with Graeme: having only one pair boots is far less sensible than having three, or four…

[Chris]

Or 12, or 14…

[Seul]

I'm sure that's Giles talking…

[Chris]

I'm not entirely sure he has more pairs of boots than I do.

[Graeme]

I thought that Giles was the Imelda Marcos of the boot world.

Seul, yes. Absolutely. Same goes with other shoes, sneakers etc. (not sure about Flip-Flops though, better have 2 pairs anyway )

I have only 9 pairs of diff. boots on rotation + Wescos inbound. ( + several pairs that I don't use anymore actively) + shoes and sneaks on top of that…

Only bad thing is that this way your boots will last forever, and you really have to justify new boots to yourself. Ha...like that's an hard task.
