      Mega, I'm always interested to her opinions about things as long as they're constructive so no worries!

      I would never pay what Virgil's go for stateside, but right now I'm bidding and now they're a deal (well we'll see when what they really go for.) and to be honest, I would actually prefer that the heal was colored like green or something but I'm extravagant like that. And I'm pretty sure the leather is horween so it can't be that bad right?

      And well, mainly I'm tired of wearing vans because I don't feel like myself in them anymore. So it is for fashion the most part I guess - but I also know that I do not need a workboot that weighs 20 pounds strapped to my foot because I will be dealing with the cons while never working in them enough to really appreciate the benefits.

      Basically, I want something comfortable and considering that these Virgil's are going right now for a very reasonable price and they are among my favorite silhouettes I believe it's at least somewhat justifiable.

      Thanks again for the help everybody, if I even get them I think that color should be versatile enough…

        black leather jacket - can't go wrong no matter what color the boots/belt have!
        for boots/shoes, i always try to match with the belt…mostly i'm wearing a black belt (ihb-02) to whatever color my shoes have...simply cuz i don't f^cking care 😉

        now that i've scored my dream pair of shoes (black shell), everything goes 🙂

          Good response Ben, and I can totally see where you're coming from. I didn't know that Visvim were using Horween to be honest, never had it on any of mine but it has been a few years since I owned a pair.

            Hey Ben, just my two cents but since you live in LA and there should be a number of places around where you can actually try on boots I would say to find a pair that you can try on for your first pair. There's nothing more annoying than buying expensive boots online that don't fit! Better to pay some extra money up front and be able to try some on and then have a better idea of your size in general.

              Sf, don't think I ignored your last recommendation 😉 I actually went to leather soul to try some indys, and they had a wopping 7 and a 13 - not exactly my size…..

              Also tried union as they stock visvim and they told me they'd probably have some Virgil's in a few months. So I'm gonna have to go in blind...

                Ben I think that's the first time anyone took my advice! Sorry they didn't have better stock.

                  Haha no worries, leather soul is decently close to mister freedom and self edge so I stopped by there to chat…. And with union I learned my lesson and called ahead first!

                  Now is the waiting time though, because I'm definitely ready for some boots!

                    Hi if anyone could help I would be appreciate. If anyone happen to hear about imperial denim? Other than self edge is there any other online store selling it?

                      My first pair of high end denim was a pair of Imperial Kings. Incredibly crunchy when new. I liked them, though I doubt I will buy another pair of Imps

                      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                        I had a pair of indigo 'Shearers' for about 10 minutes…
                        And then i realised the rise was ridiculously high (it was like 13 inches)
                        Other than the cut, the jeans were really nice.
                        But nothing compares to Iron Hearts.

                            Yes, sorry.
                            I should have specified!
                            When i put them on they were about at my waist, i looked like Mister Harry High-pants himself.
                            Or if i wore them around my hips i looked like MC-swagger… HAHA

                              13" is rather high, even for me, Mister "When I'm 65 I'll be wearing pants around my ears" Seul.

                                Yeah it was quite high, and i'm sure that makes them very prone to crotch blow-outs if you wear them low?

                                        I bet Left Coast Tees makes one. Not loopwheeled or anything but nice and soft.
