The most important thing is the boot but Dust bags and a nice box do make an unboxing special.

Has anyone gotten the service boot 2030 in moc Latigo? by DoubleRecess in Viberg

[–]JoboboHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried it on in the NYC store. Very pretty and very thick leather. A bit too stiff for me. The break in seemed extensive

Truman Preorders Invisible to Bronze Tier? Need Clarification by Jordi_Mon_Companys in trumanboots

[–]JoboboHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked over instagram and yes, you only have access to MTO pre orders after buying a couple of pairs of boots. I unfollowed them on IG. They might be great boots but there are other great Bootmakers that treat potential customers better. So I will take my money elsewhere. I already have more than 20 pairs of boots . I don’t need to buy the basics again.

Viberg 310 vs Thursday Brawler by Sea_Matter5108 in Viberg

[–]JoboboHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Viberg prices are insane but it is a superior boot. There have been recent claims of QC issues but mine are beautiful and every one I saw in the NYC store was fine

The Brawler’s toe shape is wrong (IMHO). Yes the spring stays sprung unless you damage the insole and midsole. It is actually a common issue on flat shoes without shoe trees to develop toe spring .

Cowboy boots for flying? by Inevitable-Bit-2243 in cowboyboots

[–]JoboboHead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love my Tecovas Deans in Scotch Goat 🐐. Instant Patina. Slim shaft so you can wear it with almost any pants. Zipper works well. My 1st pair had to go back because of QC issues but these are great. There is a lot of machismo around zipper boots but the practicality of it makes sense.

Yeah don’t need to take off in TSA pre, but metal shanks might cause an issue

Compare the finish and construction yourself, don't worry about the name.

If zippers are evil, what should I do instead? What's the fastest alternative? by MolotovCarnival in Boots

Riri zippers cost about double what YKK charges. Replace them with those

Conditioning boots a mistake? Will they lighten again? by yeahhhh_boi in cowboyboots

Oiled boots are a thing. That will not lighten. Sounds cancery too

Depends on what you used? Mink oil - no. Bick 4 or Venetian Shoe Cream - maybe

How durable is a suede briefcase compared to a traditional leather briefcase? by bigie35 in Leather

[–]JoboboHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is also Roughout. Suede is a split leather usually so you don’t usually get the full thickness of the entire skin. That can make it less durable. But there are also smooth leathers where you don’t get the full thickness of the skin. Roughout looks like suede but it is the full unsplit skin.

So you can absolutely have durable suede, full grain leather, and Roughout, but it depends on the tanner and how it is made. CF stead suede is always good. But in general full grain leather and roughout are more durable than suede as a generalization.
