I just got some new chonkity chonk in the mail. Pekin shoe repair resoled my brown CXL service boots with Vibram 430 half soles.

Pekin no longer taking mail-in orders... told Nick he should hire a part-timer to run the business while he works on all the Vibergs headed his way for work.

That's unfortunate. He does great work for a great price. He resoled 3 pairs for me recently - I'll try to post photos of the others later this week.

We should have an internal pool... Knowing Brett wants to consolidate specs moving forward, how many different 5+4, dainite, brogue cap toe, 2030, shell service boots will we see this year? 6?

I'm just glad they've seemingly gotten over putting every shell drop on 2020, which was a nonstarter for me at least

When did this happen? Glad I was able to get my re sole in over the summer, but bummed for any future work I’d want to send his way.

I think he does it from time to time when the workload becomes too much.

pretty recently, I was emailing with him about a few pairs to send in and when I sent him the final list of stuff to confirm before shipping a little over a week ago he said he would take them because we had already been talking about it but going forward no more mail in work

Its okay, now that Viberg is refocusing on things like the Bernhard he should have a chance to catch up on his work!

Is there a good Plan B?

Wait it out. Didn't he do this about this same time last year?

I wonder if Bakers would resole Vibergs

Anyone have pics of their marbled black cordovans from before? I would love to see how they aged/look after wear

Felt like a 2040 kinda day.

@justinkapur Not the best pic but here ya go. They're aging nicely imo, not really finding any dye bleed when cleaning with a damp cloth or brushing or whatever

Bonus pic of the scuffed color 8 I got recently from thread.and.steel, stars aligned for that one. My favorite pair for sure
