I really like the look of the Christie with the mocha leather.
It's grown on me recently, I used to not be a fan at all.

I'm seriously considering trying to do a group buy for this build. Anyone else interested??
Couldn't you just order directly from Viberg? Those group buys always seem to be pretty difficult to organize with people constantly dropping out or changing their minds.

I think it looks great on this last too. For me, the one pair of Christie sole boots I got is enough. So I'm in the other camp on this one.

Oh, I also prefer no box toe reinforcement. Maybe not for everyone. But i love the way the toe wears and flattens over time without celastic.

I could and probably will, but the thought of saving some dough always appeals to me:)

We could start too camps; one for a Christy sole, and one for a Vibram 269 or Dainite sole. Third option might be a double leather sole. Hmmm...

Viberg will do individual custom orders. Not sure if you will get a better price for a group buy.

Yeah--I've never been sure why everyone tries to start group buys. I can't imagine there's more than a 10% discount at most. I think most of the stockists can do custom orders, too, if it's a boot on a last that they typically get orders for.
