arrow, you are helping  a lot. I almost sold to down size half from RW.
How is the fit on your RW? Do you use insole on them?

[arrow]

Yes, I also use insoles with my Red Wings with medium weight socks.

Nice priced Vibergs for little feets.

Nigel Cabourn x Viberg 2012 Service Boot $875
I like these minus the cab toe. Too rich for my blood though.

[bagley920]

I'm kinda partial to the cap toe boots

[madmonday]

they are pre-distressed?

major turn-off

Yeah, I don't like them at all.

[urbanwoodsman]

I'm sure you could order these custom and get a similar boot for less and non-distressed. I don't like the distressed look either.

[dave]

The sad part is you can make them look that way within a month (or less) of normal wear

[kit99bar]

so true dave hahaa

^Shame about those being predistressed, I like that vintage tan roughout …

Well I was referring more to the look…
But with all the big spenders around here I'm sure the price is insignificant. I'd rather have 2 pairs of Aldens for the same price, personally. Not much more than the $725 BiG Motomaro jeans....

The Vibergs are a lot better looking, in my opinion.  Add in the well documented issues with both quality and customer service at Alden, and that $400 price difference starts to look a bit less prohibitive.  Not saying that I'll buy them, mind you, but there is more to consider than just the purchase price.;)

[madmonday]

i want to go to the Viberg factory store.  I heard there are plenty of great deals to be had

You mean the five finger discount?..
