G, what does the bottom of the Vibram sole measure on the size 9? (Present model.) Thank you.

so actually the outsole…wasn`t that hard eh?

[Giles]

I dont know if the question is length, width at widest point, thickness or what…...I'm not deliberately trying to be stupid....

No, it was entirely my fault. I wrote that post having just woken up (literally, lying in bed) without the aid of a morning cup-o-caf.

I'd like, if you'd be so kind, the measurement of the length of the outer sole for the Indigo and Black  IH Scout boot in size 9, please.

o/course you`re totatlly right sir!

[Giles]

Your wish, is my command …....

[Guest]

Much appreciated, Giles. So, about 12.5 inches. That should be right-on.

Shoreman, you gonna cop?  You won't regret it…

[babyknight]

Shoreman, not sure where in the US you are but just think, you could order these and be wearing them by the weekend…. just a thought......

[Guest]

Most likely not by the weekend, but definitely by early next week.

[babyknight]

nice pick-up shoreman….. looking forward to the pics

[Guest]

Oh, girlfriend, these boots…I can't tell you how glad I am I didn't wait for the superblack.

@jacoavlu:

just think of everything that must be involved from point zero to boot on your foot
there was at one point in time a water buffalo walking this earth and now that hide is on this boot
that's pretty fucking crazy

cotton is planted and eventually denim is woven by artisans on a vintage shuttle loom in japan
and that denim is married to water buffalo and calf hides and all sorts of other materials to make a boot

each boot is made by an 80 year old family business in canada

the design is a collaborative effort between multiple peoples, each of whom has to earn a living

the materials must be carried over oceans from supplier to maker
and finished boots must be carried over oceans again to seller
and again (sometimes) to reach buyer

it's really all pretty fucking insane
and all you gotta do is drop a little cash and shit is on your feet
price ain't all that bad once you think about it
jeans are really child's play when you compare to such an item

just had to see it again, one of the reasons jaco is one of my favorite forum members

great looking boot you got there    not sure about the strike golds, but i won't hold it against you

I agree with you on Jaco's post MM.  I actually think about that kind of stuff often and am amazed every time I get a new IH product and think about what has gone into making it stand apart from all of the other stuff out there.  It's mind blowing.

I'm rambling so NICE BOOTS SHOREMAN!  really solid purchase.  May have to pick up the superblacks if they ever come in a wide for my fat feet

[barun]

Does anyone know if we will be able to order these boots with slight changes to them through G and still get the IH x Viberg stamp on them in the future?

[madmonday]

not a clue, but G has been known to make the impossible happen.  send him a pm, as questions in threads sometimes get missed
