IHVB-03CT - Iron Heart/Viberg 8" Smoke Jumper - Reverse-out "Copper Task"
-
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
-
LOVE THESE BOOTS!!
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.

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.

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
-
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.

I've always thought the smokejumper/logger boot style was way too much on the sole, but they are starting to grow on me….I might even go check out a pair of red wing loggers next week to see how the sillouette works on someone who's already 6 foot 4...
