Bwahahahahaha…Cage......wait for the celebrity lookalike thread shortly
Honestly Mike, I know nothing about them as I bought them from a fashion type guy on ebay, he paid £600 for them from Oki Ni and if I had done that I would cry and be divorced. For the price I paid I am more than happy and they are evidence that some people have more money than sense.
I think they are CXL and rough out, they are very well made and super comfortable right out of the box, minimal wear and a small price tag makes me a happy bunny.

That does look exactly like the type of boot that would sell on Oki Ni for an absurd amount of money. I'm not loving the front/back alternating roughout and smooth, but considering you got them at a hefty discount, they look pretty good. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on them after you've had some time to live with them and develop an opinion.
-
Agreed on the checkering of textures, but the front of the pipe won't often be visible, unless Mega starts wearing shorts of capri pants with these…
-
Congrats Mega! I don't mind the alternating smooth & RO since they are black. Any other color would be too much contrast.
-
Thanks fellas, I didn't even notice that the front of the shaft was rough out until they arrived (that's how quickly I concluded the purchase). It doesn't bother me, and no plans to wear shorts any time soon
Initial impressions after almost a day of wear.

Comfy like my old White's oxfords.
-
Build and stitching is a bit cleaner than Whites.
-
They improve the stacking on my Sammies.
-
They will be more comfortable for work than my SD's or Indys due to the mattress
Job done.

The Vibergs are causing me some severe heel rub pain, I've been reading about wearing 2 pairs of socks, wearing them for just a little each day etc… Anyone have any tips for this, it's caused by the slightest of heel slip, but enough to cause a skin to be worn off.
-
Thanks David, I'll try that. The boots fit well generally, just this annoying issue.
-
What size and last are those Mega?
-
They're a 10….no idea about the last.
-
@megatron1505 my boondockers on the 2045 did the same thing. It will continue for roughly 5-7 days. It will then go away.

You're like a boot fortune teller

I had the same problem with my IH-VB bot boots: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5366.120
Now they´re ok,… I think. A tank could hit those heels, and your heels would stil be intact.
Maybe I should have got half a size bigger.
Strangely it was only my right foot, my left gave me no problems.
