HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015

[Finn666]

my vote goes towards the SD's…just because they're badass and because they'll fade nicer but also "slower" as the boondockers which isn't a bad thing cuz we're talking about two years of wear and abuse right here!

[Highvoltage]

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.

Boot care thread Todd… ^^

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.

The only thing I'm putting on my boots is spilled beer and the blood of my enemies.

I feel sorry for your neighbourhood cats 

[zwer]

I love the neighbourhood cats. It's my cat that I hate.

Got an update from Morgan @ Viberg today

Careful- cats can read.  You will made to suffer for your insolence.

[fanya]

Just polished my boots for the 4th time after the 18th wear, they are starting to look real shiny!

Can't wait to see everyone boots tomorrow!

[Nerkg]

Yea, me too! I wonder should I post the pictures new and after 20 wears at the same time tommorrow?

[fanya]

@Nerkg - mad jelly, I was thinking about the brown trench boots but I wanted something in black, when I'm ready for a pair of brown (I rarely wear brown) I'll be looking that direction.
