HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015

[natehate]

about 8 weeks to my door
they have really improved in that aspect since they stopped letting retailers do single custom boot orders

Great boot and good to hear your ankle is coming around.

[natehate]

thanks brother! i was up front at the lucero show all night tuesday and it held strong, super pumped on that! when you and chris get your boots we should do a meet up

[zwer]

Chris opted out of the comp! Mine should be in mid-late April, which also coincides with Urb's next visit, I think. Take the boots out for a night on the town (if he doesn't do himself in with Crown Royal again).

Hey Guys , what the best avenue to order vibergs?

Ha ha ha. No more Crown for me.

Just to put it in perspective, if anyone is complaining about wait times then I've got another three to four months to go. This is similar to what I'll be in.

[Chris]

It certainly could be worse- these took over a year from order to delivery, and they came in 3-4 months ahead of schedule…
@Chris:

custom built by Dave Wheeler, one of the finest bootmakers in business today.

Not my style but that brown leather looks amazing

@natehate:

i can only wear these 30 times in the next two months????
fuck! thats gonna be hard

I look at my bobcats everyday and think the same thing…I still contemplating if I should wait until the official start date or put some pre-wear into them

[Finn666]

maybe we should also start a "pic only" thread for this comp. as well?!

[seawolf]

Brilliant idea Rafa.

No leather liner? With all due respect, that's a mistake  :o

[Chris]

Why?  That's a heavy enough leather that a liner isn't necessary for the boot to hold its shape, and since it's rough out, the smooth side of the leather is on the inside, so a liner wouldn't be an improvement in feel.  Boots will be cooler without the extra leather, too.
