wouldn't say that, think both work…

@rocket:

backed, it will give you a new option, you don't seem to have atm. What is always a good thing. And if this really does not work at all for you, you can still resole the pair with a vibram of your choice…

Hadn't considered resoling as an option but that is a fair point…

Dainite, absolutely.

As you've pointed out, it gives you a sleeker option. As rocket pointed out, if you don't like the Dainite, you can resole down the road.

And that Vibram sole looks, um, very comfortable.

Personally, I don't mind the look of the Vibram.  They certainly give the boot more of casual or "street" look, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.  Appreciate your opinion, nonetheless.

Dainite soles age better with the boot imo, particularly the heel..

^ What colour/leather is that?

Its Crust CXL, bit lighter than the pic suggests. Worth considering over the brown if you like a fast developing patina

Spot on @EJS I have the Crust CXL and the patina is fast! Sole is super comfy out of the box

@Qinhan  I have the Dainite sole on a couple pair and I love them.  The boots are comfortable enough to wear all day long.  Anytime I travel and know I'm going to be walking a lot they are my first choice.

@Qinhan
I own the kudu service boot in Dainite and the nat cxl service boot in a Christy sole and love them both for their different roles.
Def glad I ventured outside my comfort zone with the Christy's, as they work so well in a casual setting and feel like sneakers, where as sometimes I feel the kudu and Dainite look more uppity and ill matched in certain circles (also due to the shiny nature of the leather).

[Qinhan]

Thanks everyone for your input.  I've decided to go with the Dainite.  Should give me more variation with my other pair.

Viberg x Styleforum "Hopper" Engineer boots. Unfortunately the 2005 last comes up a half size small, and they're a bit wide for me. My brother, who has shorter, broader feet looks set to inherit them. He's not complaining.

Fuck me runnin - those look amazing.

Color 4 shell service boot pre-order going live Friday…

[Graeme]

They Colour 4 boots look really nice, but I don't get on with the 2030 last, and I doubt that I could talk Viberg into sewing me a pair on the 2040.

Loving these orthotics…
Gilfs, watch out!

x2 not normally my cuppa, by they work so well.

@Dishelveled  Those scout boots are awesome.  Unfortunately I couldn't make the 1035 last work for me.  If only they came on the 2030…

An update to my last post in this thread:

After much consideration, I ended up going with a pair of Kudu Service Boots from Viberg directly.  The colour of the leather is hard to capture in photos but is sort of a deep, chocolate brown with some red undertones that come out when in direct sunlight as shown in the following photos.  In regular light they look more like a dark brown.  The leather also has a very pleasing pebbling to it, which I quite like.  I was initially hesitant about the Dainite sole due to comfort issues but, having now worn them for a bit, they seem super comfy and I'm not sure what I was worried about.

Thanks very much for everyone that offered their opinion and to @Dishelveled  specifically for taking the time to answer all my PM'ed questions.
