Papa M - Thanks, that's the first post from some one who has hands-on experience (even though once removed) to vouch for the claims made for the high quality of these boots by the makers. Surely your friend would have saved money over the high prices charged by the Japanese by buying his boots from a Canadian or US outlet?
The Japanese sure do make superb repro footwear though as I'm sure you've found with your Cushman's. I too have recently bought Japanese, a pair of Toys McCoy's Beck Engineer Boots & they are awesome. Although they cost twice what your Cushman's cost I have no regrets & would do the same again without a moments hesitation. Worth every hard earned penny.
GriffDeLaGriff - Just because JanSolo claims something is good does not necessarily make it so & you would be naive to presume so. If he has first-hand knowledge of these boots then let's hear it. If not then his claim is meaningless. This thread is older than the Engineer Boots thread in which he made the claim re. Viberg's quality. If he was aware of them prior to this thread why did he not post in it? My guess is he only became aware of them because of this thread.
