Is that the bone chamois? Knock the **** out of them

Yes, sir they are. And I most certainly will.

That being said, is it necessary to even treat them with the spray? I don't have any experience with bone chamois, or any chamois for that matter. I did some "research" online, but wasn't able to find anything concrete. Are they suede? Nubuck?

Forgive my ignorance.

I've never bothered to treat chamois.

It's an oiled nubuck. Most of the pairs I've got are the reverse which require very little upkeep. For smooth side probably go with bick 4 for conditioning if needed.

It's an oiled nubuck.

I think it's sanded & waxed. Regardless I'd not treat it with anything.

Chamois is oiled/oil tanned so conditioning is not required for some time, if at all.

I have both reverse and smooth and just give it a soft brushing after wear

One thing is for certain, expect them to change color quickly. Chamois patinas quicker than any other shoe leather I have.

@trevorplease the quarters look pretty far apart as is. sizing down might mean an even more pronounced lacing distance. And all you're saying sounds ok. I think you got it.

Interesting. Anyone have pics of bone chamois with some decent wear?

The Magazine actually does

Service Boot Bone Chamois

When Vibram introduced the Mini Ripple sole several years ago we were one of the first manufactures they offered it to. We experimented with several ways of incorporating the sole into our footwear and eventually settled on a stacked leather heel. This is a time consuming and laborious process...

Look at the coloration on the vamp.

Thanks for all the information! Looks like I'll skip out on treating these then. Looking forward to see how they change over time.

I'll report back in a few months.

Anyone else received their Miloh's snuff suede side zips and can comments on 2050 last sizing vs 2030?

Just got them today, on my first try on, they seem slightly tighter than my 2030. They still fit though, but definitely more snug. Unfortunately, even my pair had some kind of defect in the leather:...

 

[Cityplace]

These shipped from Miloh Shop. I think their CS is great, very responsive. But it's a small operation. I'm not holding it against MS. This shouldn't have left the factory this way, in my opinion.

It seems like, anecdotally, Viberg's view is "get away with as many flaws as possible-the burden is on the customer to make a claim".

Can I ask what happened? My pair has an issue too.

Okay, I'm going to say it @caffed: That's my favorite Viberg makeup I've seen thus far...ever. Wow.

I saw Viberg's own Service Boot Oiled Natural Horsebutt, but not until they were out of my size. I wrote them asking if there was any chance to nab one my size, and they kindly (and not at all surprisingly) said no. This was the one on their site (it's gone now):



For my tastes, yours tops that one. I'm partial to wingtips and cap toes, but it was the leather that drew me to the boot pictured immediately above. But your cap toe, the pinking, the leather...yeah, you just posted what has to be one of my dream boots. That one wasn't offered in my size (Viberg 6.5).

Congratulations, caffed! I hope one day Viberg (who does offer 6.5) offers something with similar leather and details.

In the meantime, I'm looking pretty seriously at Viberg's Peanut Kudu makeup from the latest drop. EDIT: ...which I just ordered. I'm weak.
