The dynamic over there seems pretty interesting - older generation doesn't want to change a thing but the younger generation trying to branch out.  Family drama perhaps?

I haven't watched this yet, but here's the blurb. Apologies if it was previously posted.

Across the country in Victoria, BC, a footwear company attempts to get a grip on their evolving product line. Once known strictly for their tough men's footwear, Viberg Boots has expanded to offer more fashionable products, leaving owners scrambling to keep up with demand. Will the owners reshape their business and rise to Arlene's challenge? Or will they be given the boot?

It was posted up a few months ago.

That's how Viberg got the Goodyear welt systems, I believe.

Its a nice read! I hope in 2014 I can afford a pair of Vibergs.

….so is Greg Guy's evil twin brother or just a poorly edited article?

Might pull the trigger on a pair in the fall... tho I have a hard time internally justifying the extra 200 bucks over most other brands with similar stuff... feel like I'd just be paying Canadian taxes/customs.

Why do you hate Canadians tigerpac?

[tigerpac]

[mclaincausey]

I'm from Jackson, MS, apparently the 7th most welcoming city in the nation. I must say southerners are much warmer than folks up here. They're nice but a little distant and insular. Dontchaknow.
