    Hi ,
    talking about toe caps, I remembered the new Country Derby BWF.
    Like that boot very much!
    But can anyone explain me, what a Faux Toe Cap is?

      Not a real toe cap. Just a seam which creates the impression of beeing one.

        It is not actually an extra layer of leather.  It is a row or two of stitches at the toe, to make it look like a toe cap has been stitched on….

          And it looks stupid.  And this is coming from someone who likes toe caps on boots.

            Pointless, it doesn't even look right to me. The missing punches of the cap make it obvious it's just a stitch. Why does this exist? If it's your thing have at it, but it just seems like a waste

              Thanks,
              360 degree vamp for increased waterproofing and then they stitch the toe?
              Still like the boot, but that seam is senseless.

                    @Seul:

                    What kind of resole you thinking?

                    thinking something along these lines for my black pair:

                    Original Chippewa" 6" Service Boot if anyone can find these in a US 8 I'll give you my Black Viberg's
                    bottom of sole

                    & hellboy they are a UK 7.5, style is 1950

                        The faux cap has historical roots. It was a measure to save leather and achieve (almost) the same look.

                            Dudes, love those Chippewas, too. Why don't we do one in a Viberg build? We already have three.

                              sorry, but i'm not in.  can't commit to any "new" boots for the year, my stock room is a bit crazy at the moment  😞

                                Looking at flogging my UK 9 Boondockers. I totally still love the style, but these are 110 last and just a little too big/wide for me. PM me if anyone's keen. $500 incl shipping anywhere.. I'm just too in love with the 2045 last Viberg boots to justify hanging on to them.

                                          red goes with Rocket & you always get points from me for always doing you.

                                          What are some of the other sizes you wear in footwear  (i know you do wesco as well)? Are those Vibergs comfortable for you or a bit close?
