The IHF/Viberg Hiker

[Friday]

I don't know how thick the hiker leather laces are, but mine on the service boots ripped while tightening during a walk. Luckily it's long enough. Anyway, I might condition it a bit with waxes hoping that it'll help moisten and maybe last longer.

Congrats on that boots MaxP!! Enjoy

I don't use leather laces on anything that may leave me up shit creek without a paddle miles from home if it busts (which it will - and with much less notice than a nylon lace).

^G is correct to not use leather laces on your hikers. Max like yourself I am a big time hiker and leather laces will fail on you when you least expect it.

Ok, thanks again for the feedback. I see, I was right to order Meindl laces.

[Max Power]

Today. They're getting comfy.

Great news how many wears?

[Finn666]

how are the new laces mate?

[Max Power]

It was their first wear for more than just a few minutes around the house. (As I said, I need them broken in in six weeks). We were out 5-6 hours and they softened up noticeable. Just the outer toes had some pressure, but no blatter or the like. I ordered Red Wing leather laces and ripped them at the second wear. Now I use the Meindl laces - a bit less flexible and really great built. I'll stick with those.

Agree with the others I wouldn't use leather ones personally. Had a few fail on me in the past! Plus I really like the contrast between the red and brown

Hey Guys,

quick but huge update from my hiking trip. The Vibergs are doing a perfect job - they fit perfect now and are by far the best hiking shoes I ever had in all possible ways.

I'm really surprised that I'm still able to do the big tours and my girlfriend as well. Bad thing: I want to move back to the alps so bad, it breaks my heart.

See you again soon!

Unreal photos, now I wanna move there as well. Please keep'em coming.

Stunning Max. Great to see you in your element, it shines in the photos. With scenery like that hard not to, but that extra OMG joy certainly there. As the others have said, please keep posting the shots, they're wonderful!!
