          Nicest boots I've owned, seriously considering some Wesco FPs though which sound much more comfortable. I guess these fit but think the 2030 last isn't ideal for me…

            @EJS  I've owned two pairs of 2030 boots, and the Foot Patrols are much more comfortable.  Granted, everyone's feet are different, so this is just my observation.  The 2030 is fairly flat and tight across the top of the foot, whereas the FP has a little more room.  Also, I think the FPs are (marginally) better made.

              Thats really good to know, thanks. How does the 2030 compare to the FP sizing wise?

                      I definitely took my time mulling it over, but seeing your worn in pair again just pushed me over the edge!
                      Now I'm just waiting for the tracking number so I can monitor that way too frequently. 😛

                        I'm always happy to be an enabler. You'll love the boots when they arrive. Did you buy from Viberg.com?

                          Yup, ordered from the Viberg website. I like the raw cord sole a lot, nice detail.
                          I'm guessing they will also ship with leather laces? I think that would suit the Boondockers well.

                            Mine came with leather laces, though I've always used the waxed cotton ones as it seemed more appropriate for a military boot. I think the leather laces got used when I tried to smarten up my old Red Wing oxfords.

                              Got a tracking number, now I'm just (im)patiently waiting on their arrival.
                              Should be sometime next week, maybe a little delay with the holiday.

                                This is what you get to look forward to.  Mine are goodyear welted though.

                                  Looks great! The raw cord stole was one of the big selling points for me I think, suits the boot well.
                                  I still don't fully understand the stitch down vs good year welt argument but regardless, good looking boot.
                                  Still impatiently waiting for my pair, hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday.

                                    I think that a lot of the stitchdown vs Goodyear argument is down to Styleforum disappearing up their own posteriors. There are arguments that the former is more durable than the latter, but I've never had a welt fail on any of my footwear, and it's probably not a problem for someone with thirty pairs of boots in rotation. 🙂

                                    A Goodyear welt changes the look of the boot a bit, which might be an issue for some people. It also affords some benefits to Viberg, in particular it makes it easier to work with certain leathers.

                                      Figured this is what it really amounted to.
                                      I only own two pairs of nice boots and they're both GYW'd Alden, no real issues myself. ::)

                                        Yeah, the Viberg stitch-down vs. GYW argument makes for a lot of boring reading. People are struggling to accept it because really it's being done to achieve greater productivity and output as the brand grows. Many would rather that the company stays as it has done over the past five years and remains our little secret. That said, I do love the traditional style of a Northwestern work boot.
