As far as the price goes, it's really a product you need to handle/ try on to fully appreciate. It's no exaggeration to say they produce the highest quality footwear i have ever handled. We sell Red Wings and i own a pair and love them, but Vibergs are really on a whole different level. It's funny to hear people complain about the number of collaborations they've done. There are less than 10 stores in N. America that carry Viberg Boots, and even fewer that have truly collaborated with them. It's also worth noting that most of these runs are less than 10 pairs. The blue Leffot hiker for example, showed up all over the internet, but only 8 pairs were produced, and i don't think there is even anymore of the leather available. Claims about quality and craftsmanship get thrown around a lot in this industry, but Viberg is a company that is truly deserving of these distinctions. I'm in their factory at least once a month and there simply aren't many operations like this left in the world. Most of the people working in their have been doing it for 20+ years, and then you've got Glen Viberg himself on the floor everyday working on and inspecting every single pair of boots that leaves the shop. This level of care and attention to detail needs to be celebrated, especially by our 'quality' driven market.

There is a great feature on them in the most recent Inventory that would be worth tracking down if any of you are interested in learning a bit more about the company.

Those 4Horsemen boots are amazing, I've seen them in person. They're too narrow for me, but I had some custom boots made by Viberg for me instead. Essentially they're bobcats on their 110 last (same as on one of their loggers and their oxfords), with a dark reddish leather and a few little changes. I just posted them in another thread but I'll take any excuse to show them off. This is after a couple months of wear; they still need more polishing.
