Do that and I will owe you several beers next time we're in the same city…

Swatches would be a huge help for sure

I have asked the question

Hi one and all, I'm sure you can't wait but I will be posting up high res shots of each available swatch in the next couple of weeks, would try to before but time is not on my side. Bless the stones.

That sole wouldn't last 2 years

Slightly under $500

Mine were $400 shipped. I used a promo code to get like $10 off plus free shipping. There are calculation errors between the baker site and the buildaboot site so it's better to place an order and then deal with Kyle. He'll give you the proper price and refund/ask for more money, etc, if need be.

Decent price, but I wonder how much does it cost to ship outside of the U.S.  These are heavy boots…...shipping more expensive?

[dirtyselvedge]

Shipping to asia is usd60.
EU should not be any higher.

More noob questions.  If I am 8.5 in Alden (barrie last), Red Wings and Wesco and my "normal" U.S. size is 9, what size should I take in Whites BH (semi dress last)?  8.5?

[MikeC]

Rafa, those Viberg Scouts look like old man boots. For some reason, the smooth leather looks cheap to me, but it may just be the pics.

[Megatron1505]

To be safe, yes.

[CLJ]

Swatch book shots would really help! I want in. Going to be my first pair of made-to-order boots. Sizing is stressing me out already. Is it possible to send in a foot tracing for this build ?

[Megatron1505]

I'm sure it is, contact Kyle at Bakers for some spot on advice.

@Chris:

Per Mega's original post:
"Boots must be new or have less than 30 wears"

As long as you meet that requirement when the contest begins on May 4, 2013, you're set.  Just PM him to get your registration number.  What boots did you get?

Got a bounty Hunter with 3 types of leather, water buffalo, bull hide and black chromexcel. All in black. Plain toe and toe cap. I'll definitely post a photo here once i can get some good shots of it

well that also would be a part of the game…getting shit resoled and all
btw. these could look dope (not that they aren't doing it already) after a proper resole too...

I'm really curious on how these look IRL myself! need to go through google the next couple of days and check'em out…

[Megatron1505]

Guys, just to let you know that Kyle is currently not very well, so he will be out of the game for a couple of days. If you want to throw any questions my way, I will do my best to answer.

We're very similar. I've got slightly wider feet so I got 8.5E in the BH. I'll be in Toronto next weekend if you want to try them on.

[Finn666]

^ how do they fit compared (in length and width) to your IHVB-01 btw.?
since you, Jordan23 and me are the same size in those…
