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?

I am a 11 in the Barrie last and a 10.5 in all Viberg lasts

[Delfor]

thanks for the info, what width in the barrie last are you?

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?

[mclaincausey]

My guess is good ole fashioned shoe polish

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:

I had no clue . . .

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

Thanks for sharing that link @madmonday - very helpful intel.

Smoked Reverse Kudu Service Boot


1st photo is more accurate regarding color.  These have tons of character. Very interested to see what they will look like with miles on them.

Wow that is one of my all time favorites!!  Lucky guy

They looked so much dressier in other pics I've seen.
