    Regarding weight, my guess is the Vbar is denser rubber, hence weighing more. The honey lug is a softer, less dense sole. So maybe that is why they end up being same. Heavy sole and lighter leather on one boot, and lighter sole and heavier leather on the other boot.

      That could be the reason! Thanks for the comment! I also weighed the kilties and they are about the same too, for me it’s a non issue though, just didn’t expect them to be the same weight. Will be putting my other boots on the scale too, whites, Franks and Nicks curious about the results!

      Could be the leather too. The weight is per square foot, so it's denser, but could also be thinner.

      Agree w/ EDHBlvd, most likely a more dense rubber on the vbar.

    Love your boots. I recently received my pair of c8cxl Nicks Americanas and I love the richness of the leather. I also dig that W&C EB Tan, have seen a pair with heavier patina and color development than yours at your current stage, so you’re in for a real treat with those as well. Congrats.

    I just received my Nicks Chomeexcel #8’s. Mine are Overlanders with a Four stitch toe cap. They are amazing.

    You don't mention the model, are they Falcons? I have the same sole on a pair of 18 year old Vibergs. I don't wear mine a lot, mostly walking around oil drilling rig sites and around my yard. Mine might have about 500-1000 hours on them. With this limited wear the soles have stood up very well. The vamp/uppers will last forever. Viberg only used one row of stitching on the soles of my work boots, but they also used about 15 nails/tacks though the outsoles. Unless you wear the boots on very rough surfaces I think these soles will last a long time. Cheers

    Hi,
    I am back here, watching again your video.I am also living in Europe and choosing very carefully before my first order.
    How is the update of V bar sole?
    About the stitching, I am wearing Iron Rangers 7 years old with nitrile cork sole.More than 10000 hours and 5000+ miles.Very hard use.The stitching gone after few months but till now I replaced only the heels.
    May I ask you about the width as I see you are wearing EE. According nicks width sizing chart I am E/EE, 10 1/2 “ for size 10.5US.
    I was thinking that EE is too much wide but from your video I see that is not too much. The shape looks very good.

    • @willempasman827
      @willempasman827  Год назад +1

      The V bar is holding up great! The thread is mostly gone but it will not come off. I have a pair of Franks with the V bar sole that wears better with almost no wear after wearing them for two weeks straight. About the width if your in between E and EE I would go for E. You’ll end up with a tighter fit.

      Your help is priceless.
      Thank you!
      I ask Nicks about the width twice. Two different women.
      The first one advised me to choose E for snug fit or EE for more loose one.
      The second one advised me to go to EE.
      She said the the oiled latigo leather which I choose is very stiff and stretches very little.
      My Rangers are D as at that time I couldn’t get E here in Europe but they stretched very well and the fit is ok.The thing I don’t like is that the wider arias of my feet going over the stitching and even over the sole edge.And also when I lace them the gap is around 4 cm.
      All that shows that I need a wider size.

  • @christopherdavisson617
    @christopherdavisson617 Год назад

    I actually like the 430 mini lug sole more than the V-Bar. It's subjective for sure. The mini lug seems to have more grip though and although the V-Bar has it's positives as well, on wet grass it tends to be a bit slippery. Good video though man.

    When did you order them?
    I ordered mine back in December 2022, when they got a small shipment of #8. I'm assuming it will take a few more months.

      Mine were ordered may 2022 but changed the leather a few times and finally ended up with color 8 end of 2022. Still waiting on a couple of pairs from may 2022😅.

    • @willempasman827
      @willempasman827  Год назад

      I don’t have JK boots so can’t really say about the quality, they seem to be good quality! Nicks has bison too, great colors! If you mean Horween Cxl oxblood I wouldn’t advise those for work boots. The leather is more for casual wears then water and dirt. Bison is very thick and soft leather which can be used for work boots but you gotta condition them regularly to keep leather in good shape!
