My wife says they look like uggs, but they're comfortable and I don't have to tie them.

Interesting. In one sense, that seems to be solid business sense, but in another, it kind of flies in the face of the messaging that a lot of heritage makers would promulgate of timelessness and sticking to their traditions.
MCL what does promulgate mean?? Big word for a bunch of denim heads

Don't y'all have the Google?

I see your point, but she's not entirely wrong.
-
Great!! Great to see some well-worn specimens. Who did the Dr. Soles?
Bakers. I think it was about $140 round trip.
-
I love those uppers but the stitching on the sole illustrates that you get what you pay for in cobblering.
-
what's wrong with it? @mclaincausey
-
@finn666 he is saying bakers did a great job
-
No I'm not unfortunately. It looks like they were struggling to control the speed of the machine. The stitching isn't uniform.
-
They do look fine, but it's a noticeable difference, that was my observation. I'd say it's probably not worth another $300 to get more uniform stitching but you can get it.
-
that's what I thought @derivative666 cuz I knew he wasn't happy with it. imo i think I'd be totally satisfied with it. looks like its getting the job done pretty well. so why spend twice or morejust to have a flawless stitch job done?! just my 0.02
saw them in person btw. and imo they did a great job -
Well we all have different standards and price sensitivity. But I had a sole job done for $50 where the stitching looks like the Viberg with the Dainite sole above. Love the boots but I won't be using Baker's. Ok done crapping up the thread. Back on topic, anyone know what to make of Brett visiting this Mexican shoe factory? http://instagram.com/p/vBjVn_igmG/

Sourcing leathers or looking into a Viberg budget range, who knows?
