true story, doing too many things at once.

from now on i just state my interest & then watch the space.

word to Jiminy Cricket 

[Jii]

@monday:

honeylug outsole is so perfect for me.  looking very fwd to these. . .  not sure about the buckle, but that is so minor a detail & my jeans will likely cover it . . .  so i don't even mind.

patiently awaiting sizing to be worked out so i can get this going.  would love to be a test subject just so i can get my pair a bit earlier

***have to go about measured proper like so i have no issue with the sizing on these

I think I know exactly what you mean with the buckle (my thoughts were the same initially) but I have to say that it is a detail that definitely makesg the boot. I think mine are exactly what G is going for with a different sole, when the time comes for a resole I'm going for a lug sole.

On the sizing thing, mine are a full size down from my Nike Air Max 90 size and they're still roomy enough to use a proper thick bootsock. The boot is very bulky though, very much bulkier than say a pair of RW 875 in the same size. Don't know if it's because of the thickness/layers of leathers used but anyway they feel bullet proof.

@Jii:

Took a nice little stroll today in the sunshine.

yeah you did snag a nice pair a while back & you did that cool modification on the sole.  if you get the chance can you put up some current flicks?

want to see how that light color has evolved since you last posted a flick, & thanks for the sizing advice, it won't be ignored 

[madmonday]

looks like you responded before i could finish.  they look perfect & your cuffs & the length of your jeans flwless.  good sh!t, jii

& write ups like yours help me get over the initial sticker shock 

[Jii]

Oh, that pic is the same I posted way back in january or whatever, haven't worn them at all since april.

Here are the most recent pics but the lighting is crappy.
@Jii:

There was still a hint of daylight coming through the window so I snapped these. Mmmmmm indigo stains..

Just got informed that my Viberg MTO's are shipping and scheduled for delivery to HK early next week.
Pictures soon…

[madmonday]

found these pretty cheap.  think i'll give them a test run before G's make-up comes out

[nameness]

side view?

[madmonday]

so, what you think?

[nameness]

too beefy for me but they're def your steez.  color isn't too light for you?

[madmonday]

yeah, they are (too light), to be honest it was a total impulse buy.

think i'm justifying it by saying these are my test run

[nameness]

right on, pics once you get 'em.  comments on build would be cool, too.  I know they're supposed to be tanks but I've never seen a pair in person.

Copped during the Superdenim sale? I'm glad my size wasn't available.

[madmonday]

yep, not more than twenty minutes ago 

& per nameness' request will attempt a write up & plenty of pics once they touch down.

[zhivago]

If you treat them with obenaufs they will darken up considerably.

[madmonday]

don't think i want to darken them just yet, but i do hope the pictures are making them look lighter than they really are.

i guess we will all find out later this week

That sounds like an interesting experiment…potentially something the devil will make him do down the road….hmmm? HMMM!?!?!

[jacoavlu]

Looks like a very good pickup monday
They're sold out now

[madmonday]

thanks all.  i hope they work out & live up to my lofty expectations.

z what kind of ob do you suggest using on them?  the liquid or the cream kind so i am prepared 

[barun]

They look rough out, no?  Can you use either on the rough out?
