Corded soles are a nod to the original military issue boondockers I think. Points for authenticity at least.
-
Im just not a fan of leather soles really. I mean if i only wore them on carpet then sure they would b ok. But leather soles in the real world just seem like a step backwards.
-
I find leather to be kind of dangerously slippery. Thinking of adding a half sole to me Road Champs.

Do it! The leather sole helped them break in/loosen up, but soon as that was done, BAM, time to get that half sole. I can now strut around in my RC's instead of looking like I'm walking on an ice lake.

Perfect analogy Snowy. Usually no problem but on worn concrete holy crap its like ice skates!
-
I tend to walk crotch-forward. Why, you ask? So it gets there first! A deadly strut come winter though…

wipes tear from eye as MCL strides by, bravely crotch thrusting into the night, Foo Fighters' "My Hero" playing loudly in my mind

Here are my Viberg boondockers (their first release on the 110 last), a few weeks of wear, just before I waxed 'em:

Super nice. Do you use trees in those boots? The toe appears not to have flattened much like other Vibergs with unstructured toes.
-
Great boots Aries!
-
Thanks chaps. Yep Sugar, I use trees, I don't mind the toe flatting but do like to keep it minimal.
-
Can't wait to see it.

Nearly sold after the pics of your boots Aries. Keen to see what you have up your sleeve G
