If you didn't live in a castle, you'd both be living out of a boot… Poor girl...

I have the same pair gb, I always wear long socks with them for the same reason you have. Once they break in
you'll be even happier with them.

So, do I need to invest in a series of long socks or do they stop slashing my shins when they have broken in?

Bro, have a look at ski socks like these, http://www.smartwool.com/mens/on-snow/phd-ski-medium-169081.html they have padded shins for ski-boots.

mad! I think I'll go with simpler tall white socks, tho… $24 a pair is a bit too much

I hammered (really) the uppermost seam on my engineers for this same reason. Hammering softens the turn and voilá…

[Blackheart]

^ Yes, that works really well.

@joesaintjohn:

I saw a pair of WESCOS in the latest edition of Heritage Post, and I really loved them. How do these price/quality compare with White's and Viberg's?

Trying to be as objective as poss.  I would say that Wesco and Whites are about the same, Viberg are next level…..

I disagree Giles, WESCO  are the best boots made . Wear a pair of Firestormers you will see what i mean !!!!!!

[Giles]

Well, at least I got you to post…....

it´s all good mate…hope you can say the same. much love your ways brother!

found these Jobmasters in a vintage shop at the Camden Lock Market in London:

[seawolf]

Well, that settles it. I'm going there. I saw that you posted a picture on facebook of Camden Lock and it piqued my interest. This picture confirms my decision to go when I'm in London next. Thanks Rafa!

[Finn666]

yeah, you definitely should check it out…a lot of garbage around but if you take your time and really search for the good things, you'll def.gonna find'em! a lot of used Barbour jackets, Wesco & Alden Boots, Doc Martens o/course, LVC and even found some Fullcounts at a vintage/thrift store (this was in Nothinghill though)...

Market day today down there Finn, have a good time.  Tomorrow you need to hit Brick Lane and the Flower Market nearby.
