For members who want similar style of Viberg or OSD but don't feel the price justified, this company can be an option. The reviews on Reddit about this MTO brand in Indonesia are pretty decent (I take it as a positive) but personally, I have no experience with them. I am thinking about getting a Flesh Wax pair in Viberg style.

I believe the price of their boots are $150 USD for the basic model, last & sole. $36 for regular shipping and $67 for EMS/express. They sources their own leather but you can request a specific leather for a premium (eg. Horween CXL $70). You can do the same with the sole and you can ask for Vibram, Dainite and others.

I believe you can only order the boots/shoes through email.

Maybe I'll give a more detailed review if anyone is really considering an order.

Initial impressions: boondocker plain toe

Aesthetically: love them. They have the look I was going for.

Build: solid. No complaints. No flaws.

Leather: not sure if everyone else would separate this from build but I am disappointed here. Very thin leather. I was going to go horween but surprisingly they sold me on the cheaper home brand leather. I'll have to wait and see how it wears in the long haul.

Price: ok considering the previous statements. I'm on the waiting list for WWII impressions boondocker. Essentially same price except WWII is MIUSA. I'll keep my spot in line as they are back ordered/delayed until May or June.

I think the commentary you've already written is sufficient. A couple pictures would be great, though, unless you're afraid of bentin seeing them.

Hopefully everyone can see what I mean. The leather seems thin and folds very easily (but still a good looking boot IMO). I'm not sure how that correlates to quality but I feel like that has to affect long term durability but only time will tell if my guess is correct .
