    Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

    No problem - it was £90, but I supplied the half sole and heel.

    Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

    They are actually(partially) hand stitched - mainly because they had problems with their machine. I'm in the UK and would have happily sent them back to Viberg if they still offered the service. Prior to going with my local independent I contacted a few high profile UK cobblers and either got no...

    Here are a few pictures of my Aged Bark Roughout 310s after a full resole at my local cobbler. First time I've let them loose on a pair of my Vibergs and I am pleased with the result. At my request they replaced the original full Dainite sole with a natural leather midsole and glued a half sole...

    Anyone who went to the Rivet and Hide MTO a couple of weeks ago had their boot specs confirmed yet?

    Yes, I did pay duty/customs - at the time it was done through the shipping courier(DHL). I haven't bought any boots directly from Viberg for a couple of years now but I was told it is now added at the point of purchase when you checkout and pay. I haven't checked this so I may be wrong. All my...

    Hi I have been to the previous MTOs at Rivet and Hide in 2018 and 2019 and I am going to the next one. They didn't offer shell as an option then and I don't believe they have done at other MTOs, so probably not this time either. Overall it was a very pleasant(if expensive) experience, and both...

    I think the 310 suits roughout or nubuck/Chamois so well. Shame we don't see more options.

    I've got a similar 310 bought from the .com around 2017 but that was the more usual Service boot configuration(7 eyelets), with a straight toe cap. I could be wrong but I think that was the last time they had a roughout 310 on the .com Here's a pic of how they look now(will, one boot...);

    Yes, I wear a Viberg size 9 whilst my true UK size is 8/8.5 and in some of my other footwear(walking/hiking boots etc) I sometimes go to a UK 9.5 depending on the sizing when I try them as I replace the insole with my custom orthotics. My orthotics are full length and pretty substantial - I have...

    Thank you - much appreciated ! As I mentioned, it was a fun project and I feel I learnt how to do a reasonable job of dyeing leather. I may have another go some day if the right pair of boots shows up for sale on ebay etc.

    Originally these were Chestnut Essex from an A/W drop a couple of years ago. After only a few wears they were accidentally sprayed and stained with a chemical whilst I was at work. I tried cleaning the stains, which actually made them worse. Eventually I thought I'd have a go at dyeing them and...

    Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

    The roughouts are actually the aged bark roughouts that were available on the .com about 5- 6 years ago. They have had loads of wear and are one of my default pairs as they look good with raw and aged denim and chinos. Thanks- the leather is slowly becoming lighter with age. They were virtually...

    I've got six pairs of 310s and love them all. I like the aesthetic as I like chunky footwear in general, but perhaps more importantly they are good for my particular foot issues that require specialist bespoke orthotics which need lots of volume in the toe box and also the sprung toe makes...

    Funnily enough, I was made aware of Yorkshire Sole yesterday and sent him a query regarding this. For those of you who know the BBC TV programme The Repair Shop where people bring along various family heirlooms for restoration and repair (including old shoes and boots) apparently he is the...

    Hi This is my first post on SF, although I have been following this thread with much interest for a few years now. I'm based in the UK and have a number of pairs of service boots (all 310s) and wondered if any of you knowledgeable folk could recommended a cobbler in the UK that can do a decent...
