@Giles:

Mmmmmmm

wow

just when i was feeling good about these, at least these were cheap. haha.

i'll go for a resole when the vibram 100 wears down, i'm really a black boot guy but i'm more of a discount guy when the opportunity presents itself…haha.

been using the tote for my laptop lately as i've had a shit load of work to do and i still want to be somewhat social so the fucker's been everywhere with me for the last week +.

[Finn666]

while we´re on the enginner topic…

...how hard is it to turn a 9"/11" engineer boot into a short shift boot?
do one just need to chop a few inches off and re-install the buckles etc. or what do you guys think?

thanks for the feedback in advance.

[Jesselirola]

finn - i have both, and the short shift is a much wider upper shaft, i'm sure they could do whatever you want however.

honestly i'd stick with an engineer if it's an engineer and keep an eye for a short shift, they're two different animals, or at least that's what i'm telling myself. haha.

on that note the engineers are so much more boot, i dig them both for different reasons, and both are way too hot for real summer days, haha.

cheers,

jesse

[demonito]

finn send it over to brass or hukurokuju they can do those kind of shitty mods.

[superfuzz]

Don't do it Finn! Keep them as they were meant to be!

Quote of the day

[gcbrown3]

Viberg - Horween Whiskey Shell Cordovan Service Boot.

I have to thank Nick Horween for getting these shells over to Viberg for me, but, more importantly, Morgan and Viberg for the hell that I put them through in getting these made. They are a masterpiece and I have nothing but thanks for the whole Viberg operation. The nicest pair of boots on the planet Earth….and they made me two pairs.

I'll add that Viberg probably will never make another custom cordovan boot, but that's my take and not their official release.

These guys are masters with shell, but they fail to see themselves in this light.

"What is the central theme to this everlasting spoof?"

[demonito]

yo gcbrown so you payed nick horween for the shell? or what? and how much did you pay viberg? thanks pls do let us know as we want to do something similar for a group buy
