I think this thread was started to trick the dandies into identifying themselves. Good one, VM

Dandy, how so? Do tell.

I was pretty sore for a couple weeks breaking in the Hathorns, but after that, they've been some of the most comfortable boots Ive ever worn. Theres lots of sharp, pokey, prickly stuff where I live. I tend to wear my boots even with shorts. I get some funny looks, but I absolutely hate getting cactus spines or other sharp things stuck in my feet.

Thank you so sir. These are made by a Canadian company called Viberg. They are called their Service Boot and they are on they're 2030 Last. Personally I tend to think they make the best looking boot in this particular category.

Having spent a fair amount of time looking over boots just like those I'd have to agree. I do have a pair of color #8 Alden cap toes on the Grant last that are decent but they're on the nicer side of things. I have a pair of Taylor Stitch X Rancourt plain toes that are a similar profile but the Vibergs seem to look a bit nicer from most angles.

For the most part a majority of the boots and shoes I wear are very easy to break in. I do often wear them on carpet for about an hour for three days first however. This, the leather, the fact that they fit all do help of course.

I too have a few shoes and boots from Alden and Rancourt is my favorite with regards to handsewns. Truman is good competition for Viberg I think, but here again in my opinion Viberg just wins and it's mostly because I like the 2030 Last.

My preference when it comes to most shoes and or boots are the English Shoemakers. Here's a couple more examples from one in particular. Crockett and Jones really knows how to make a great boot. One in cordovan and one in scotch grain.

I have a couple of pairs of Vibergs myself...one's set up for forestry work, one for, I guess, stomping the hell out of something?
