I love the mini ripple. Foam and leather are both comfortable, but the leather stack is definitely more rigid IMO. Once broken in, it’s not as rigid. The foam wasn’t right at all. Aesthetics-wise, I’d go with the leather each time.
I think the foam would look a lot better if the foam was thicker. Looks off-balance with such a low heel.

You could always go Mega:

Looks similar to that berluti knot with an added line.

I know most of you aren’t fans of hiking boots, but of the two recently released models which would you choose? I want to pull the trigger on one of them but can’t make up my mind.

Is it for functional use or just style?

But in all seriousness, I don’t see much function in a viberg hiking boot. These would be for style only!

It's like wearing chuck taylors to play basketball. At one time people did it and you can still do it if you want but there are better options for those purposes.

I suppose, but I’m not even talking about advancements in technology which, for boots hasn’t really progressed all that much; they’re not breathable/ flexible like many other less expensive options for hiking (Merrell, Salomon etc. )
