Hey Fok, can we add these photos to my make up so that people can visualize it better? It would be brown, not black, but other than that it's pretty much it:
If you can photoshop them brown, then yes. I don't feel like explaining a bunch of times the color difference, etc... It's funny the first time...

Not sure if the suggestion box is still open. Here's my choice:

Model: 145 Oxford
Last: 110
Leather: Smoke Reverse Kudu
Sole: Black Gloxy-cut
Eyelets: 5 hole vintage brass

Agreed. Doesn't look like a 110 at all,in fact , it looks much better than any 110 I've seen. Too much volume in the toe to be 110.

Raneleigh, are you sure this is the 110 last..? It looks sort of like what they sometimes used to call just "the workboot last" I think, which was maybe 160 or something..? But I may be wrong. Sometimes the lasts look different depending on all sorts of factors.

Well, you guys may be right, I'm not sure. Of all the current Viberg lasts, it looks as close as you can get to the 110. I've never heard of the 160, do they still build on that last? Anyway, trying to mock up something that doesn't exist isn't easy. I suppose we're just trying to give people a rough idea of what it will look like. If it's too misguiding, then I'll try and come up with a better mock up.

Pretty sure they will still make a 160, don't see shy not. I think it is one of the lasts that has fallen out of favor since the rise of the 2030. It has more toe volume than the 110, but also a higher heel. Though I think the boot you propose will look great on either last.

I would prefer the 110. They will look great with a brown harness leather.

Ok, here's the 110 mock up. Is this a badass boot or what? With a cats paw heel and vibram 700 sole...damn! And a brown harness leather would be great! Fok, can we post this photo?



This is the heal/sole combo I'm lusting after:

In case the kudu isn't available, an olive roughout would be awesome too.

Mocha oil tan leather (not rough out) has that dark brown matte finish you're talking about to.
