      @CLJ:

      To be honest I'm not sure if it is black or brown smooth leather. I feel this configuration will work best for what I want it to be. Anything, anywhere, any time. Steel toe for work and moto. Classy enough for going out and being sociable.

      8" Height. Lace-to-toe. Mine will be steel toe, double mid sole, vibram 700 sole, standard heel, brass eyes/hooks, brown leather liner, rolled top, and leather pull loop.

      Can you still do a steel toe with a lace to toe design?

      Yep. Spoke to Kyle about it as while as sizing the other day.

            After much thinking, and drinking, and realising that adding an extra few people won't exactly make this contest any harder to organise (as I'm not really organising anything new), I am opening the contest up to a further 25 people. Come get some.

                Kyle has been ill, but he's back now. He mailed me a few minutes ago.

                Is there anything you want me to ask?

                    A resole and a refurbishment are two totally different things. A resole is necessary maintenance.

                    Yeah, I completely agree.

                    I'm glad we can resole. I'll probably need a heel replacement after a few months.

                        I think that is a completely unfair assessment. Different kind of boot and as far as I am concerned a tremendous boot company that makes outstanding timeless product.

                          I didn't mean that in a bad way I was just saying there is a noticeable amount of difference in size.

                          In reading my statement I can see how it could be understood that way; however, it was in regard to overall size of boot compared to other two… by no means is that in regards to quality or anything else.

                            … And the reason I noticed is ALL of my shoes currently are alden and just have stepped over to purchase a pair of viberg. Alden is one off my favorites obviously if that's all I own currently

                                  Do they have a Loden Green leather? I can't seem to find a White's in it anywhere.

                                        Rafa, doesn't look like anyone answered. I just measured my standard Cuban heel on my White's SD. 1 7/8"
