Little project trying to restore the rough out lowers on these work boots. Lots and lots of saddle soap and brushing (and just got my first shoe tree ever). These are 6 years old, spent 95% of their life in the forest, a few wildland fires. Originally a brown smooth upper with a rough out mocha colored lower. Doing one boot at a time so I can see the difference of my labor.

Needed something lightweight for summer and a little fancier than some of my other tan suede boots.

This Navvy boot is pretty interesting, super lightweight with a leather sole, Hands down down probably the best fitting Viberg I put on my foot out of the box, very reminiscent of a 379X or Barrie last Alden

@northsouthdenimguy great pick man!
I‘ve been eyeing them for a while but just can’t justify another pair of Vibergs.

@don_pipone

I’ve been watching these since they dropped and playing that game of “if they’re still there, I’ll buy them” or hoping they’d just sell out so I didn’t have to decide. I lost the last time I played.

@northsouthdenimguy I know that game very well. I played it too for these:
