      Yeah, they have some nice items from time to time and these boots are certainly in that category.

      Like I need another drain on my dwindling financial resources…!

        Wow! Those color #8 boots look sweet! Some cordovan in them would be great!

          OK.  We have sorted stuff out with the Shell boot.

          Price will be USD825 with USD400 deposit required now.  I will approach people in the order that they expressed interest in taking a pair.

                          #8 is tempting. but since i already have a alden in#8, i figured black is the next one on my list..

                              Can anyone who has owned Viberg and Oak Street boots offer comparison in terms of quality? Are they on te same level?

                                  For what it's worth, Oak Street boots are high quality. I have nothing to compare them to only wearing "regular" boots and shoes for the last few decades. Like Fanya, my feet hate me but it's for denying them for so long the finely shod glory that they now traverse my day to day life in.

                                    Definitely not on the same level as Viberg's…I'd put them a notch above Red Wing's but not as robust/durable as White's. But then, OSB's are dress boots more than work boots IMO so that's understandable.

                                        Just curious what makes Vibergs better than the other above mentioned boots?  Better construction? Materials? The double welt?  What justifies another couple hundred dollar premium? (Just curious, I'll never own a pair)

                                          My Vibergs are on par with my Tricker's. Red Wings are shoes you buy at a severe discount and you trash about in 'm.

                                          And I still want a pair of White's… Although I'd rather have a second pair of Vibbies  ::)

                                            I don't have a pair of Tricker's but I'd say that all else being equal the Goodyear welting would put them a level below Viberg. I hear so much about White's and so little about Nick's on this forum, I'm surprised more people don't entertain the latter.

                                            Think it, be it.
