Nice-quality, 'caulks' or studded logging boots, black leather.
- Very clean and sound throughout
- Fits my true size 10 feet just-right
- Viberg/Hofffman/White's kinda quality
- minor/typical signs of use, but...as used boots go,
you'll be pleased.
- I did a painstaking hand-rubbed application of
Obenauf's HD Leather Treatment
- Probably great in icy conditions, as well...!
- Overall length/boot lower, less sole, is 11 5/16" ; overall height, less studs, is 11 1/4"

** Input from a gent on an Arborist forum:
"They look like barely broken in hand made Vibergs to me. Those caulks are called drive-in caulks and were superior to the screw-in ones for traction on slippery steep logs. You can walk on ceilings like a fly with them .I think they stopped making them back in the 1970's. The hobnails around the edge of the soles are the first thing that tear out, and those boots still have them all. The caulks are replaceable also, but a much bigger job to do. I have worn out a couple pairs of them, and they were the best caulk boots I have ever worn once they broke in."
