I like the leather sole on the boondocker
-
I used to feel the same way about the cord soles. I had only ever seen them on super cheap looking vintage boots in thift stores. But now that I have the Dr. Soles Raw Cord soles on my Scouts, I love them.

The change of sole has improved the look of those boots enormously, great choice urban.
-
Corded soles are a nod to the original military issue boondockers I think. Points for authenticity at least.
-
Im just not a fan of leather soles really. I mean if i only wore them on carpet then sure they would b ok. But leather soles in the real world just seem like a step backwards.
-
I find leather to be kind of dangerously slippery. Thinking of adding a half sole to me Road Champs.

Do it! The leather sole helped them break in/loosen up, but soon as that was done, BAM, time to get that half sole. I can now strut around in my RC's instead of looking like I'm walking on an ice lake.
-
Perfect analogy Snowy. Usually no problem but on worn concrete holy crap its like ice skates!
-
I tend to walk crotch-forward. Why, you ask? So it gets there first! A deadly strut come winter though…

wipes tear from eye as MCL strides by, bravely crotch thrusting into the night, Foo Fighters' "My Hero" playing loudly in my mind
edit:
Here are my Viberg boondockers (their first release on the 110 last), a few weeks of wear, just before I waxed 'em:
A year of wear:

Super nice. Do you use trees in those boots? The toe appears not to have flattened much like other Vibergs with unstructured toes.
-
Great boots Aries!
-
Thanks chaps. Yep Sugar, I use trees, I don't mind the toe flatting but do like to keep it minimal.
-
Can't wait to see it.
