The IHF/Viberg Hiker

Now you're irritating me….

And another update. This time on 2.900 m, but the way up was less exhausting than the last tour of 9 hours. The boots still serve me well, although they take a lot of abuse. Any ideas how to clean and treat the roughout leather when I'm back home?

Oh, sorry Finn, I'm in the italian Dolomites, near Sexten.

did this ever MTO get into fruition? I would be in for a pair.

It has been and gone I am afraid.  What size are you looking for?  I'm looking to move mine on, as I have a "few pairs" of Wesco inbound….

@Max:

Thank you! I have mixed feelings about them. They are super heavyconstructed and feel like they'll last forever. I should have sized up or gone for an E width, so I had blisters the first times I wore them. This is over now and they begin to feel really good on the feet. The only current problem is, that the metalpleats caused blisters on the toes of both feet. But we were walking almost 9 hours and it's been the third day of wearing them. RO is perfect, just brush the dirt away and they look awesome again.

Thanks for the reply, Flo, and I apologize for my delayed response. I'm glad you are enjoying them. I love them, and consider myself lucky to have them every time I hike. I went with an E width, and am definitely glad I did. They fit exactly how I prefer.

You're right that the RO is perfect. I've included a pic of mine after a couple heavy dubs, with countless miles in between each treatment (and since the last treatment). I think they look great for utility boots – and the treatment is useful for the soggy conditions I sometimes hike in -- but I would definitely keep the rough out "as-is" for my next pair of everyday, service-type boots.

Thanks, again, and I'm wishing you a speedy recovery.
