@Giles:

I love that aged bark….

Same here.  Would look great as a service boot!

Looks a little pre-distressed

[Sugar Mountain]

^ This. I'm kinda surprised people don't see that kind of leather in the same way as a pair of pre-faded jeans.

I believe it's what aged bark leather will look like when abused for a long period of time as this is what it looks like when relatively new:

I'm quite liking both this boot and the leather.

here is the picture from the aged bark I ordered

It's either the Aged Bark or the Copper Task. They're comparable colors, so it's hard to say for sure without know who this boot belongs to.

almost have my new boots ordered

Finally got my hands on my Boondockers.  They fit perfectly.  I was sweating it out the entire time, but I chose wisely with the 9UK.

[Friday]

^^ and your normal is 10us?

[RP]

I am between 9.5-10 US so I was thinking that I should have gone with an 8.5 in the Viberg.  Most of my UK shoes are size 9, but I do have a couple of pairs that are 8.5 UK.  I ordered the Boondockers in December, but had them sent to my parents' house so I didn't try them on until yesterday.  Viberg agreed to leave me extra time to return them if necessary, but in the meanwhile all of the 8.5s were sold so I needed these to fit.

[Friday]

Thanks… Would you reckon an 8uk will fit you as well but maybe with less room for the toe?

[RP]

Friday-  I do not think that the 8UK would fit, and it would be a very tight fit with the 8.5, if I wore slightly thick socks.  I hope that helps.

Helps a lot.. Thanks
