      ^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.

                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!

                                        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!!
