HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015
-
Oh yeah just put my order in for a pair of viberg service boots. Now I have to wait 12 weeks! I would like to say a huge thank you to Giles and Morgan for putting up with all my emails.
Since I have got into the selvage denim scene I have only meet really nice people that want to help you out and share their knowledge and not rip you off.
So a thank you to,
Son of Stag , not sure of the salesmen’s name but is a young guy and super helpful and knows his stuff.
Danny and Junior from Rivet and Hide, for Danny letting me into his home to try on jeans, offering to make coffee while chatting for over an hour while Junior did a great job of hemming my Steel Feathers.
Giles and Paula from Iron Heart UK. Giles for all the boot info and general help with iron heart gear. Paula for being one the most genuinely friendly people I have ever meet and making us feel welcome every time we see you.
Again Morgan from Viberg who helped me buy the boots I want. This is the first online clothing purchase I have made and feel super confident in it because of how helpful Morgan is.
All the friendly people I met at the CSM, with a big thank you to MEGA as I wouldn’t be having the fun I am without your efforts!
Cheers

No worries man, this is great scene to be in and I can echo what you say about meeting so many cool people, at the SENYxIH meet last year I met dudes who I know will be friends for life. This is an expensive scene to be a part of, but the products and the people make it all worth every penny.

As an FYI for everyone still waiting on their boots from Baker's: I emailed Kyle yesterday he said that White's production has been recently running at about 10 weeks.
I have not placed my order yet, still determining my tax situation. I will when I get a moment, but I do have a pair for backup just in case.

Is it still possible to join this? I just bought a pair of Redwing boots two weeks ago, I'd participate for fun, I should of asked sooner I guess. Just gave them their first polish today, it's been raining/snowing/winter sleet mix since the day I got them so they have kept my feet nice and dry at least. Got them just in time. Already got a couple scuff marks, I'm hard on shoes :-\

Honestly, and with no bias, the SD's will evolve better in my opinion.

Same as jeans, it's more about the person wearing them, their life, and what they do to care for them, than the boots themselves.

I just love these boots:

@RP:
My weakness for instant gratification has left me with a first world problem: which to use as the competition pair?
I'll be the contrarian here and say go with the boondockers. No reason other than the fact that I think they're cooler looking boots.
By the way, I feel your dilemma- due to my impulse control failings, I have two, possibly three pairs from which to choose (I'll know about the third pair when they arrive in a few days).

Listen to the poor little rich boys, moaning about which pair of $400 - $500 boots to wear

Was wondering if anyone is planning on doing a boot care segment. I am pretty new to the world of leather boots. On the viberg website alone there is viberg leather preservative, neatsfoot oil, arctic dubbin and huberd’s shoe grease.
I know you can use saddle soap to clean and I have seen others use mink oil for leather care? So whats what, when do I clean, when do I condition and what can I protect my boot from eg water, beer. -

I have read that before and I don't think the info there is that great. Some posts at the end are ok, but I think with the knowledge here the great minds could come up with some great info. When I am sinking $700 into a pair of boots I want to know what I am doing.
