@natehate:

what sole is that roy?

That's a biltrite half sole and catspaw heel

yes, it's deadstock biltrite half sole…I was hoping they located the same half sole on my old vibergs, but are great soles nonetheless

[MikeC]

Great score Summer.

[summ3rhays]

Thanks Mike! They said there shipping today so fingers crossed I should have them by the weekend.

Update from Morgan @ Viberg. only thing i didnt spec or talk about was the tongue, not sure about balck. has any one had a pair shipped to the UK, shipping costs, duty, tax??

[natehate]

Todd they only have a few colors available for the tongue due to how thin the materials need to be. Both my boots have black tongues. When they're on and laced up you won't even notice brother !

[Nerkg]

That's what I love about my oak street trench boots THICK ASS cxl tongue

[madmonday]

great images todd.  like watching a baby being made . . . well except no astroglide or bow ties.

[Chris]

Both my pairs have matching color tongues- green and blue.  I never discussed tongue color, that's just what they gave me.  The green one is a completely different leather than the rest of the boot.  Different shade, thickness and so soft it feels like upholstery grade leather.  The blue pair has navy CXL for the tongue, just like the rest of the boot, but thinner.

It may be heresy, but I'm not very impressed with CXL, by the way.

Bit late for that lol

[Chris]

Had to have a pair made with it before I could form an opinion.  It's not bad, just not as nice as the latigo leather Viberg used for my green boots.  And based on how effusive everyone is about the stuff, I guess I just expected something more mind blowing.

[toddjcoley]

oh well see how i go, i have already found more boots i want

[madmonday]

if you could do it all over & build a boot what would you do houston chris? maybe save it for the question thread, but the thought just came to me & i had to get it out before i forgot it.
