      You never know.  I've seem what I consider to be very popular styles.  They definitely go faster though.

        @mental floss The sample sale is stressful, but if the force is with you, it's definitely worth the effort imo (having said that I'm a size 12 and had no success on my 1st and only try).  Like summ3hays says, preparation is key - know your size (prob. a 10 in viberg if you are 10.5 in red wing), what last you are interested in, and be johnny on the spot when it launches.  And I also agree with mclain, they will usually talk up upcoming releases, boots going to their preferred retailers, and things like sample sales on instagram.

          Talking about the sample sale from the last round, I could've swore viberg said it was a 3 part. And only two parts happened? Or I'm crazy

              My pair from the sample sale. They are about a year and a half old now. I wasn't sure about two toned boots, but I've really grown to love them.

                @mental floss I own the reverse kudu smoke boots and I highly recommend them. The most buttery and dense leather I've handled (wearing mine today). There is a third sample sale coming at some point, but Guy told me things have been crazy and they haven't been able to set it up yet. It's a real crap shoot. If you really want a pair of Vibergs, just buy them direct. The sample sales have SOME cool options but as others have noted, they can have some glaring defects or - in the case of the pair I wanted to buy - they have been previously worn!

                Boondocks are cool too - but I like the uniqueness of the kudu, especially in that color. You won't be disappointed (and if you're a 10.5 in Red Wing, unless you have a super wide foot I'm pretty sure you're a 10 in Viberg).

                In case you need some help deciding 🙂

                    Amazing boots! I already liked the pics from some pages before a lot where they look rather blueish. Now the color seems to be lighter than on the website. I wonder which is closest to reality.

                    Nice socks btw!  🙂

                      Thanks! I would say the boots only look bluish in photos. They're really a light grey. Smokey even.

                        I LOVE those kudus - want so bad - but must resist.  Too many boots.  But those are top of my list "if" I was going to grab another pair.  @Spring Son of Light you are a fortunate man!

                          Toying with the boondockers but everywhere seems to be sold out in my size. May get the service boot as an alternative. I am a an 8 - 8.5 in a barrie last, is it the same size on the service boot and boondocks?

                                      Has anybody experience with the Horween Waxed Flesh leather? I have this on my Vibergs and am unsure how to take care of it. It starts to wear off and give way to the brighter colour of the leather, but I would prefer them to stay dark. Should I try black shoecream and Otterwax or would this "ruin" the idea of that leather?

                                        My guess is good ole fashioned shoe polish

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          No help to Max's question, but did you know Waxed Flesh leather, French Waxed Calf leather & Huntsman leather are all one and the same & that it's actually heavly waxed or dubbed roughout?

                                          Here's the source:

                                          http://horween.com/101/the-leather-that-has-3-names/#more-373

                                          I had no clue . . .

                                            That actually does answer the question. Shoe polish it is.

                                            Think it, be it.
