[madmonday]

[mijama]

^the 4H! one of the best

[joona]

Thanks madmonday & mijama! I've been really pleased with them. Buffalo & buffalo roughout is a great leather.

Inventory X Viberg 2013 or 2012 . . . i forget:

[Snowy]

very nice Monday

[rocket]

[Friday]

My 1st Viberg, Iron Heart x Viberg pull-up.. 

Untreated, abused and what not but still standing strong like a champ.

[Bluegrass]

Boondockers restocked on Viberg.com - I think this is nat. cxl roughout… Lovely!! 

[irishexpat]

damn those are nice!

[Sugar Mountain]

I am really struggling not to swoop on that Boondocker. With a wet summer looming though, I don't think another pair of boots with a leather soul is appropriate…

[mijama]

honestly - its my favorite summer boot. Even if they get more shelf time this year with a wet summer, youll have 9+ other years to enjoy them.

[Sugar Mountain]

^This is more or less what I'm telling myself! Close to pulling the trigger.

[Bluegrass]

I agree with Sugar Mt. - I'm pretty sure I'd grab these if they had a different sole.  They are fantastic for sure, but not for me this time.  But damn they're pretty!

[Sugar Mountain]

Finally crumbled and bought the Boondockers. Took the same size as my Alden trubalance last and Trickers 4444 last. Fingers crossed it works out.

[Bluegrass]

I can't break down - I took another peek last week and my size is now gone!  Great score and pics please!!

I finally purchased my first pair of (VIBERG BOOTS):

Specs:
1950 Service Boot
Horween, Chromexcel leather
Icy Mocha
Smooth and Rough-Out Leathers.
Hand rubbed finish
Vibram 705 & Cats Paw
Raw edges
The leather is produced using a secret bark retannage recipe and then genuine hot stuffed with their own blend of natural oils, greases and waxes.
Extremely Limited Numbers.

Size: 10.0 (11.0 US)

I had never owned a pair of Viberg boots before so the information in this section (Viberg Boots) of the Iron Heart forum was extremely helpful in regards to fit/sizing/specs.  (…imo they certainly, at least this pair, live up to the "Hype").

I enjoy the wealth of information (and photos) that (IRON HEART) forum members provide. 
(...I log in a few times per week, but I need to start contributing more myself.)

Now I've just got to wait for the foot of snow on the ground in Minnesota to melt before I can wear them.

Question:
Can anyone advise me on the best way to prevent "indigo transfer" to the "rough-out" leather?
(…Leather preservatives, stain preventers, etc?).

^wear jeans with cuffs rolled up to your shins

seriously though, that's gonna be a tough one…

[Seul]

You'll get stains.

[Sugar Mountain]

^What a gif.

MJN221 - you could at least refrain from wearing new and raw denim with your boots and stick to your worn-in and washed pairs.
