      I have the same pair gb, I always wear long socks with them for the same reason you have. Once they break in
      you'll be even happier with them. 😉

      So, do I need to invest in a series of long socks or do they stop slashing my shins when they have broken in?

      Bro, have a look at ski socks like these, http://www.smartwool.com/mens/on-snow/phd-ski-medium-169081.html they have padded shins for ski-boots.

        mad! I think I'll go with simpler tall white socks, tho… $24 a pair is a bit too much

              I saw a pair of WESCOS in the latest edition of Heritage Post, and I really loved them. How do these price/quality compare with White's and Viberg's?

              Trying to be as objective as poss.  I would say that Wesco and Whites are about the same, Viberg are next level…..

              I disagree Giles, WESCO  are the best boots made . Wear a pair of Firestormers you will see what i mean !!!!!!

                                    Well, that settles it. I'm going there. I saw that you posted a picture on facebook of Camden Lock and it piqued my interest. This picture confirms my decision to go when I'm in London next. Thanks Rafa!

                                      yeah, you definitely should check it out…a lot of garbage around but if you take your time and really search for the good things, you'll def.gonna find'em! a lot of used Barbour jackets, Wesco & Alden Boots, Doc Martens o/course, LVC and even found some Fullcounts at a vintage/thrift store (this was in Nothinghill though)...
