SHIT, MY BRAIN HURTS

Going to have to agree, regardless of color I'm not a fan of the style/look of the boot.

@BloodnThunder
Thanx for the honest opinion.
We always have a choice__ to ignore or engage. I can take neg criticisms, but I push back on unwarranted nasty close-ended comments that are solely meant to insult & disparage … talk about "behaving horribly". -
No worries @BrownIcon. To be fair it's not that particular boot either. Different strokes for different folks, I just happen to have always disliked the look of basically any boot with a wedge style sole.

That boot brings out the worst in me. But don't worry, I'll stick to the Beer section on StyleForum

Never thought I'd own a pair of Engineers just cuz I dint feel I can pull off that sorta steez … & now i got 2pairs.
Styleforum GMTO is a great way to get some jawns that're more rare/unique than a limited edition. This year, I thought I'd venture out of my comfort zone [again], as I did w/ the Trickers Allan Teak Cordo & Viberg Tobacco Chamois "Hopper" … w/c was my very 1st engineers ... only this time, I'd like to contribute & be a part of the creative process.
Inspired by Kyle Reese's (Michael Biehn) BlackTrench X BlackNike hi-tops from the first Terminator movie__ 'thought I'd treat the **Scout**s to a stealthy, more nimble, "hit-the-ground-running" kinda cross-utility urban trekker fit for a NYcity-dweller.

i saw them on your instagram. to be honest, the black was what made the decision for me. SF had great GMTO especially with trickers and alden in the past i think..

Hey, man! FOK updated possible leather substitute__ Scotch Grain Print Horse Butt (Italy) & cuz of the thickness, it can be done on stitchdown. So far, got 2 SuFu peeps interested, pending actual price quote. -

@louisbosco
Ahhh, I see … cool! There are other make-ups right now that are on discussion for voting, just in case you're on a hunt for a pair of mtos. -
Any Viberg owners care to offer some advice to help me with the following conundrum?
I'm looking at getting a pair of Viberg service boots. This would be my second pair as I already own a pair of scout boots with a Vibram sole. I've narrowed my choice down to two options:
1) Brown service boot with dainite sole.
2) Brown service boot with vibram sole.
My dilemma basically relates to the sole type. I've tried on both pairs and while the Dainite sole felt fine when I tried it on, the Vibram is definitely more comfortable on the foot. As soon as I put the Vibram sole on I knew that this would be super easy to wear all day long. On the other hand, the Dainite sole makes the boot a little dressier which I don't get with the pair of scout boots I currently own. I'm pretty casual with most of the clothes that I wear but having something a little nicer to wear on my feet wouldn't be a bad thing.
Waddaya reckon?
