First pair of Danners.
Did you buys these at the Gentry sale? I just bought the same pair for what I thought was a great price. I'm hoping they fit well. I've been looking for a lighter weight hiker and these look like they will be perfect.

hey MADame,
nice pickup. just talked myself out of a puss j/k, hahahahahaha
-
Whoops, puss n boots j/k. @ least for another 5 or so mpnths, hahahaha

This build is great. I really think replacing some of the speed hooks with D hooks was a stroke of genius Viberg should include in the standard 66 build. These are very comfy. Can wait to hit the trails.

These Viberg hikers have got to be some of my favorite boots on the forums.

First time out with the new WESCOs today.

I posted these on the Wolverine thread… but thought I'd throw em up here, too...!
These came back from the boot maker a bit earlier than expected. I just wasn't getting along with the rubber fore-sole on the rough out 1K boots.
This is what they looked like to begin with:
I had an additional rubber protective sole applied over the existing rubber to beef it up a bit… but I still wasn't happy. Then I went looking for and managed to source a range of different sole options including a cats paw-like "Dr. Sole Original" cord composite rubber sole, but these things are super heavy… and well, you know... sometimes the idea of a boot is more comfortable than the actual boot on your foot--like lugging a slab of concrete around strapped to your foot.
In the end I decided I have so many heavy duty boots, and with summer coming, I'd go for a lighter option... so the Vibram.
I'm pretty happy with how these turned out... kind of the way that should be, I think.
Cheers,
