    I searched Viberg and Ridgeway and found that sole. Don't like either from viewing it. Thanks! Steve

    Looking at the photos I can't see any difference, looks like Dainite. What makes the Ridgeway different and not as desirable? Steve

    The Italian horse hide is not a Horween tanned hide. Its a nice hide though, fairly thin but still durable. The recent Viberg in Crust Horsehide is a Horween tanned hide that used horsebutt and horse front. Thats a cool makeup too. In summary...the Italian horsehide is a good option and...

    Some recent offerings that mention horsebutt. However I don't think the recent offerings in horsebutt is the same as what Context did with the 3 ply Horsebutt that included the shell cordovan sandwiched in-between and a 3 layer material and the boot was unlined. I have the Context version and...

    I'm under the impression based on what Context said when they released their version of Horse Butt that includes the outside rear hide, plus the shell cordovan which is sandwiched inside and indeed is a membrane. I can say the Context Horsebutt is an excellent thick hide, and based on the crust...

    I'm late to the party for the celebration of Uncle Mac's life but here I go. I was one of the fortunate few that actually got to talk to Uncle Mac. We visited many time by telephone and shared many conversations on all things Alden. He always gave me sound advice and he will be sorely missed...

     Interesting I've lived in Texas all my life and worn boots year round. Not always Alden's or Vibergs. Many years before my addiction to those I was wearing cowboy boots and Red Wings. Date nights, work days. But I've also worn long sleeve ***** outdoors to protect the skin. Now if we...

    I Agree. If you're not wearing made to measure shoes/boots then wearing a thicker sock is fine...specially on boots. I vary width only on my Alden's. Barrie, Trubalance and maybe a few others a D width, Grant, Van Aberdeen I wear and E width. Since virtually everyone has 1 foot bigger than...
