@Friday:

might be so rafa.. anyway here's another one..

This should be Peter Plotnicki's boots(C.E.O from Merz by Schwanen).
He is wearing their socks i think.

Enjoy ya addiction!

I had the honour to meet and talk to Peter and his team yesterday. Amazing personalities, full of passion, great humour and sense of style

This Service is so nice..Hmm someday i have to push my toes in such a pair

@Giles:

I have a very high instep and Engineers are typically a problem for me. I asked Morgan how we should deal with this. I like his approach…
…....we can build them in a 9.5 E on the 310 and stretch the fuck out of the vamp and shaft.

If passive aggression isn't your thing, we can the upper in a size 10 and throw it on the 9.5 last. We'll still give it a stretch. Let me know!

@Shoreman:

Morgan, I just received the Tanned Vintage Hikers from Leffot and, although beautiful, they're far from being wearable out of the box. (Insanely stiff.) Should I oil them and or treat them like a new baseball glove in an attempt to loosen them up?

Neatsfoot Oil. Apply it liberally prior to wearing them out a few times, and don't tell your better half where it comes from.

Looks to me like the good Oil Tan we use on our work boots. Where did it come from? Could be Horse Butt, but I'd need to know the source.

Right you are. Well, safe bet is it's Oil Tan. We don't produce a lot of Service Boots in Horse Butt on either the 310 or 2040 lasts.

ok i see, thanks a lot for the quick answer!…

If I'm not mistaken, this is horse butt(?):

SimonQ.

cant tell from here - need to see some wrinkles of the leather. it could be, though i´d say it is not shell.

Those pics taken from Vibergs Blog with Peter Plotnicki, ceo of Merz B. schwanen rocking them and I'm with SimonQ and would hazard that its not shell

Inventory Viberg's new release ..
not sure on these ..

Finn666

4 different leathers on one boot…way too much imo!

Takeshi

still , look cool though ..

I like them a lot, actually.

However…the ridiculous price-point would sway me towards pushing people to White's, without even having handled a pair.

I'm liking these:

Black bullhide, 310 last, mock stitch toe cap, double midsole

Whites are nice , think these work out to about £570 - £600 , bit extra when delivered ..
but last lifetime ..

You'll take it in the bum for customs as well. All in all, if you're outside of Canada, these are $1000 pair of shoes.

^That's exactly why us EU people need to take advantage of the opportunities that G. offers to us to order through him…
