      Thanks guys, wasn't sure if dubbing roughout would get the same effect or not.

        Hi Ben, of all the samples I have or have had experience of so far from white's, none are similar really in texture. I agree with erk above, that effect/ texture looks, and from memory of other brands using a similar leather, and imagine would feel like a rough out (albeit after a slight shave) that's been waxed. Could be an interesting experiment?

          Its a good question. I've got the new Wolverine 1000 Mile Morely boots in rough out. The toe and heel is supposedly waxed or burnished but it looks less like the application of wax (or, for e.g., dubbin) and more like the finish from a burnishing wheel with 'rouge' or something. However, it looks to me like the finish on the Viberg's is more a high quality waxing process (like applying dubbin) rather than all over burnishing.

              I'd go with brass hardware for that color, but that's about all I'd change.

                  Excellent! Which leather is it? How does the double sole feel?

                              I am a 8.5 E in the SD and NW last, Kyle at Bakers said I should order a 8 EE because they fit a half size larger.
                              Can anyone confirm it?

                              Thank you 🙂

                                          Mate, Is it single midsole? Your pics look really like double.
                                          But yea, I've heard by some guy that White's offers like 1.5 midsole on commando mini lug…

                                            You are basically right - the mini lug is attached to some leather, which makes the boot look like having a 1.5 sole. It was the main reason for me to get that sole.
