Veldtschoen construction is basically a goodyear welt with the upper stitched down over the welt. Usually it’s 360 and not the 180 in that photo.

Crockett & Jones Snowdon and Edward Green Galway (country makeups) are all Veldtschoen.

Would people pay a premium for this? And if so why?

All of my veldt field boots are practically water proof. That combined with the foot condom would guarantee dry feet.

I understand. I’m just curious to know how many people who are buying Viberg's fashion line are tromping through fields filled with 6 inches of water for hours at a time ?

Haha maybe not the fields but If you live in the UK where those English veldt boots are from, you might as well be water logged in a field ;)

I'm not really seeing the point of a veldtschoen boot that's not 360. An actual full 360 degree boot from Viberg I'd be very interested in though. The waterproof membrane I could take or leave, frankly I basically never have issues with water intrusion on Viberg's of any construction type, let alone any water in a 360 degree veldtschoen boot. And I have Viberg's I use for yard and construction-type work in all conditions, it's never even come close to being a problem.

How do y’all size your 2050 Chelseas and side zips compared to 2030? I’ve heard everything from going up .5 to even sizing down.

I'd say I'm borderline an E, although I size down a full size from my brannock on the 2030. Would I stick with my current size or go up?

Has anyone run into issues replacing Dainite heels? I vaguely recall reading that somebody's cobbler couldn't get them.

Anybody have pictures of how the reverse shell have aged? One of my biggest regrets.
