Viberg Boots - Page 4

Today I've noticed photos of "Merlot chromexcel" Viberg engineers on a couple blogs and forums that seem to date from late last year. Are those available someplace or am I likely to be looking at custom pieces?

^yup, MTO or you can chase them at the store that ordered the collab. there's a special thread on SuFu regarding a Viberg group buy [organized by Edmond, a.k.a. Demonito]. there are about 15 peeps on the list. just add yourself on the list.

you can pick the model, leather/leather combo & color/s, & trims [soles, heels, buckles, etc.]__ i.e., my specs for a pair of 5" Viberg Service Boots: capped "Work" toes w/single Celastic, bown Chromexcel vamp & uppers x taupe Bullhide [heel] counters, single leather mid-soles [natural color trims], Vibram composite half-soles, "cuban" Cat's Paw heels, all nickel eyelets, cut-top.

I recently purchased a pair of Vibergs and am trying to envision your specs on my boots. Please post pics when you have a chance. Your boots sound amazing

unfortunately, until the group buy segues into production, it'd all be a figment of the imagination .

Thanks, I believe I ran across that thread actually! I'll give it another look

Any chance there's a catalog site or PDF kicking around that outlines the trim options available?

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.
Thanks to YuppieSkuppie for posting the specs on these wonderful looking boots in another thread. I have looked at Viberg's Bobcat model in their showroom and like on their website, the toe is very bulbous and steel toe / work boot looking. I think I will visit their workshop on Saturday for a fitting and see if I can spec in a build for a pair of these!

Went to the Viberg shop today and ordered a pair of their #36 Bobcat size 9-1/2 4E in Merlot Chromexcel with brass eyelets and 2 speed hooks. Vibram 1276 Siera lug outsoles and natural midsoles. $100 down and eight weeks to go! Pics to follow.

You can purchase all of those boots, they're available at many retailers in Asia.

From the "Find a Retailer" part of Viberg's website:

Looks like I can find them in Podunksville, USA and pretty much nowhere online. Awesome!

I just picked up those same boots (I think) off the forum a couple of weeks ago. Love them.

speaking of "Merlot Chromexcel" - here are mine that I finally received a few weeks ago... will spend some time breaking them in before I finally polish them and have them show their true color.
