      I love those uppers but the stitching on the sole illustrates that you get what you pay for in cobblering.

      Think it, be it.

            No I'm not unfortunately. It looks like they were struggling to control the speed of the machine. The stitching isn't uniform.

              I've seen some Bakers resole jobs on Instagram and they all look pretty good to me. But I'm not that anal about stitching etc. Urb's look fine to me.

                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.

                Think it, be 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?

                        If you watch the video he already mentions a viberg sub brand made in Vietnam or something doesn't he?

                          Pretty sure he's talking about Stompers. http://workboot.com/collections/vendors?q=stompers

                            Stompers is made in Vietnam…

                            Was no one paying attention whilst watching the video?

                              Yes sir, stompers was what I was talking about. I'll edit my post to be accurate… I was surprised, never really heard of that subline. Viberg seems to do a lot of stuff that divides opinion!

                                Maybe they're looking at moving Stompers production to Mexico, maybe they're adding a diffusion line. The town in question does shoes and tanning, but this doesn't look like a tannery to me.

                                          Super nice Seul. While we're on a rough-out tip, here are my Boondockers basking in the sun.

                                          The leather has started to darken up nicely with wear and I've also got a fair bit of indigo on the uppers from my TCB jeans. Love these boots.

                                            Real super nice guys! Never worried about stains (non-indigo) easily accumulating? And do you think the roughout feels as bombproof as normal leather?
