Show us your boots

[Mizmazzle]

I’ve taken the Viberg PBs on two hikes so far. The back stays need to be broken in a bit more. But about five miles each hike so far and wearing them to walk the dog after work. I’m super impressed!! Hoping the liner won’t be too hot on longer summer backpacking trips.

@Mizmazzle really love those. Give em hell

loving these

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT thanks brother man! Hoping these will be the last hiking boots I ever need to buy!

[Mizmazzle]

@endo that’s a fucking boot right there! Ready for anything!!

[endo]

Thanks @Mizmazzle they really are wonderful. Regarding your hiking boots, they are great, but IMO there is never a last one, not as long as you keep hiking.

[Mizmazzle]

@endo a good message for life. Always keep moving. And as long as you’re moving, going to need some quality boots to get ya where you’re going!

Idunno I think you can rebuild a boot with the right welting, so as long as the upper remains intact there’s nothing stopping you from never needing another boot of that sort again. Which is from a sustainability perspective a good goal.

Got a few pairs of RW but these have to be my go to pair. Red Wing 1907

[DeeDee85]

@Jcaz6996 snap! I have a few pairs and always end up wearing the 1907’s. Think I much prefer the shape of the toe box?strikethrough text

@mclaincausey Absolutely correct, but we all know that in reality, this is only wishful thinking. We still buy new stuff although we don't "need" to

@Hajduk-0 Viberg 2030 Burned Oak Dublin on Ridgway

I got it from Viberg but I think it’s this exact build: https://rivetandhide.com/products/viberg-service-boot-dublin-burned-oak-2030.html

@mclaincausey
Thank you, they are very similar to my viberg, Dark Rubber Essex 2030

On your pictures they are much darker than on the website. That's why I said they look a lot like my dark rubber Essex 2030

[mclaincausey]

Yes Essex and Dublin are very similar at least; I don’t know how Rubber changes things.
