Looks like just a small selection online

God would I love that store to be local to me. I'm itching for a boot shop like that. Anyone know of a place that stocks whites in the NYC area? I would love to try some on. I'm thinking either a pair of semi dress whites or a pair of Viberg service boots. What do u guys think would be a better buy?

White's are probably a better value. Vibergs cost about 60-75% more, but I don't see how they can be 60-75% better boots. The construction techniques are largely the same and in some cases (chromexel leather, Vibram soles) the materials are exactly the same. I'm seriously thinking about getting a pair of Semi-Dress boots to do a side by side comparison with my Viberg Service Boots, (which I love, don't get me wrong) but I doubt I'll see a huge difference in quality.
-
Just buy two pairs of whites instead of Vibergs.
In NYC, I believe these are it.
Whites- Graham Fowler
Viberg- Leffot, Freeman's Sporting Club -

Love that last pic!

brown dress is really nice! better than cxl or other leather for me.
Haha thank you! I'm glad I made 1 good choice on this boots then!! Haha
I've been having cracks on my leather midsoles.. are those normal? I applied a coat of obernauf but to no avail they are still turning lighter and cracking….... Should I put on more? Or leave it?
-
Pics of said cracking? Probably not a big deal, but that's just a guess…
