I mean, yeah you could get these Danners for 310$ and put in some red laces for 5$, but the Vibergs will last you a lifetime cause they’re 100% leather and Viberg has crazy customer service and will make sure they do last for you (not that Danner doesn’t, cause they’re also a dope co.) They’re handmade in Victoria and unbelievably crafted, they’re worth every penny.
This is all besides the point. I’m a really big fan of Hikers and always have been. I think once you see these on a foot you can’t really argue with them. I’m also a big fan of their .jp inspired look, how the laces go wide and right down to the toebox. I mean, if you don’t like them, then you don’t like them. I just think they’re sweet as fuck.
