[Bluegrass]

Wow!  Based on the look of the shafts I'd "guess" cowhide - horsehide is sooo tough.  Great score - those are beauties.

@summ3rhays:

First pair of Danners.

Did you buys these at the Gentry sale? I just bought the same pair for what I thought was a great price. I'm hoping they fit well. I've been looking for a lighter weight hiker and these look like they will be perfect.

hey MADame,

nice pickup. just talked myself out of a puss j/k, hahahahahaha

[madmonday]

Whoops, puss n boots j/k.  @ least for another 5 or so mpnths, hahahaha

[mclaincausey]

This build is great. I really think replacing some of the speed hooks with D hooks was a stroke of genius Viberg should include in the standard 66 build. These are very comfy. Can wait to hit the trails.

[Anesthetist]

These Viberg hikers have got to be some of my favorite boots on the forums.

[khaki8]

McC…be careful you don't break your ankles in those Viberg's. They aren't really good for rocky terrain....for flat stuff they are fine but over the rocks they don't flex enough. I have three pairs of them and use other stuff for hiking.

@Madame:

New Viberg Hikers

[bornheim]

I posted these on the Wolverine thread… but thought I'd throw em up here, too...!

These came back from the boot maker a bit earlier than expected. I just wasn't getting along with the rubber fore-sole on the rough out 1K boots.
This is what they looked like to begin with:

I had an additional rubber protective sole applied over the existing rubber to beef it up a bit… but I still wasn't happy. Then I went looking for and managed to source a range of different sole options including a cats paw-like "Dr. Sole Original" cord composite rubber sole, but these things are super heavy… and well, you know... sometimes the idea of a boot is more comfortable than the actual boot on your foot--like lugging a slab of concrete around strapped to your foot.

In the end I decided I have so many heavy duty boots, and with summer coming, I'd go for a lighter option... so the Vibram.

I'm pretty happy with how these turned out... kind of the way that should be, I think. 

Cheers,

I like the way they turned out - good call - very fine looking boots!
