@Graeme how do you like your Hoppers?  I love my Viberg engineer boots on the 2005 last.

[Graeme]

I like the Hoppers, but the sizing isn't 100%.

With thin socks, they slop around on my feet. With thick socks they fit fine, but there's a little pressure on the inside of the tip of my big toes. This doesn't cause any problems, and I've had days when I've walked ten miles in them.

They're currently in Australia, and I'm in the UK for the next few weeks, so they're not getting much wear right now.

Not a big fan of the CXL leather but these Chelsea boots are damn fine:

[Bluegrass]

I personally prefer the various rough out versions (I have the dark brown), but this style is the nuts.  They are VERY comfortable boots and they look really great with slim tapered jeans.

They sure do! Great look. I also prefer the rough out, especially when it comes to Chelsea Boots.

[Appfaff]

I agree - chelsea boots have always seemed "wintery" to me and putting them in a rough out always makes more sense.

What trip to Gosport would be complete without an unexpected pair of boots.  Giles got my girlfriend into some Vibergs…

Perfect for shredding Gos Vegas in the Land Rover…..

Anyone know anything about 'insidecatering.co.uk'.. must be a scam, they appear to be selling the Mr Porter selection of Vibergs for less than £100 a pair!

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is….

There's something not quite right about that site. I would avoid.

@Nomad:

Just about everything is not quite right about that site. I would avoid.

'units in stock' gives the game away… laughable really, bet Mr Porter would be interested

You have made my day…...

Another classic from Shakespeare (their copy writer)….

"All ordered items are the right items you pick here. We promise you of the right order package. So if returning right items for a refund: all returned items are subject to a 15% restocking fee. Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable."

And another:

"The real shipping cost are far more expensive than the amount we charge. i.e.(EXP: The EMS Rates:$20 is not the real shipping expence). So if returning items, you need undertake the whole delivery cost. You can see our shipping documents for the real and exact shipping cost."

One more:

"And you still want to cancel, you need to pay our lose. So please do not hesitate to contact our customer service if you have any idea about the order, they will deal with your questions patiently, and do their best to satisfy your demand. Thanks!"

I saw this site yesterday while looking up Boondockers… seems like a similar scam

If they Took Amex or Paypal I might be willing to give it a risk, but they are smart and take neither...
