Viberg newbie here (well, I've owned 2 pairs - impulse bought on sale - but they remained unworn and then were sold. So I'm still a newbie).
I was looking for just a simple, black, service boot. I'm used to the 2030 last so that's the move. That said, I've found 2 pairs that match my very simple criteria: 1) CXL (assuming steerhide) w/ Danite sole, & 2) Maryam Horsebutt w/ Ridgeway sole.
Does one leather have any advantage over the other? Like, will one age better? Is one more durable? To my untrained eye I can't spot any superficial differences with the look of the leather so I'm going in blindly. Any opinions on which would be the better buy? Thx!
(or, is it just a matter of personal preference?)
