IHVB-03CT - Iron Heart/Viberg 8" Smoke Jumper - Reverse-out "Copper Task"

[Giles]

Yes, about 20 mins ago when I realised I had got the wrong price up…...

[tmg]

What's the significance of the white lug on the sole? I know that a red lug represents a sole specifically optimised for fire-fighting, but can't find any info about the white.

[Giles]

Morgan tell's me it is "fire and ice", but I can't 100% confirm that….

[tatmantall]

what last are these on and how does it compare to the wild ones last? I know the measurements on an 11 would have been perfect for me… but am really considering the wild ones

[Giles]

The last is the 160

[Giles]

A few more sizes added to stock….

Sorry for yelling…

Guys honestly sorry for such a newb question but I really don't know anything about suede.
With proper care will it really last as long as "regular" leather? (I know it's all leather- I don't know terminology).

I assume these Vibergs are top notch quality skins, but still, what's the deal? Wear them in all elements just the same? I understand suede to be more porous that's why I ask.

[mclaincausey]

Suede is a split skin, these are roughout, where the flesh side of the skin is on the outside. So it's thicker.

I lightly sprayed Obenauf's silicone water resistance spray on mine and did nothing else. I brush them periodically. You can "dub" them with wax or some other leather protector but it will affect the look.

A lot of forum members think you should just leave roughout alone and just brush it.

[Seul]

I'm dubbing my Vibs cause I know they'll get darker and I wouldn't mind that… Otherwise: it's rough out, fuck it!.. Wear 'm hard!..

[Spring Son of Light]

Cool thanks for te advice guys. I'm really leaning towards these. Only thing stopping me is the heavy duty sole. I can always change that in the future once they wear out

[mclaincausey]

I loves mine. Wearing them today. Dubbing would look cool, it flattens the nap and darkens the shade. I love them as is but may do it one day.
