      Hi guys like Tat mentioned is all about personal preference. I have the rc, the viberg vmc anni and the buco. I am not a comparison guy. I enjoy and wear all in their own way i do not baby my shoes, i just enjoy em. I need good shoes as i am out a lot with the dog.
      Christophe has his own philosophy where as viberg does as well. In fact the rc is the only MF product which is re-runned several times 🙂 afaik viberg had pairs with the roller buckles too but hard to get

      Cheers,
      David

        Hello Rafa the VMC anni is not really to compare although flat shape the VMC anni are hardcore and need a lot of time to break that horse butt in, sole is a vibram chevron. The horse butt is incredible it took me over a year To get em shaped 🙂 the rc is a get to go boot the leather gives quickly only sole needs to break in and mold the boot To your feet imho 🙂

        Dont forget guys, MF is coming from a complete different approach 30' to 50's style motoboots with leather sole and cats paw heel for the nice Cali weather

        Rafa remember your Foto of the VMC annis 😉

            SUPERFUZZ- hey, how are the shafts working for you? I was curious if it made it any more difficult to get the boot on or off? Also how long did it take to have it completed I am really considering this when my boots get back from zip

              I'm trying to find some more info on these boots, but even the MF site has very little. Specifically, I'm wondering how large their size run is? I don't have high hopes considering their clothing line runs pretty small.

              Regardless, thanks for sharing your impressions, tmt and davito. The boots look awesome.

                            Tat, the narrowed shafts are great. The fit is perfect. No problem getting them on and off but I don't feel like I'm swimming in them any more. Zip could probably do a similar job for you.

                              Great comp pick. Do you know which last was used on the VMC annis David? Still looks wide but much better than the few I've tried. I would really be sold on those if they had used a half sole as opposed to a sole tht runs ful length into the heel stack.

                                Possibly but I have not heard from him since I sent the boots in despite a few attempts. Not sure if he's just busy or what but had told me he'd call when they came in and verify the modifications and resole I'm wanting and they were signed for Thursday. Hope everything is ok.
