New Viberg for Styleforum GMTO makeups

[LA Guy]

Family shot

My first 110 pair. The fit is spot on as expected. I definitely need another 110 pair. Any opinions on the flat waxed laces vs the rawhide laces? I'm kinda leaning towards the flat waxed ones.

And a big thank you to Fok for making all of this happen. You are the best.

You're welcome.

I always use the flat waxed laces - they are considerably more durable than leather, which has good abrasion strength, but really not great tension strength at that width. And the waxed leather are easy to tie and to stay tied.

NICE! I'm in on this next round of Bison.. and the 1/2Japanese too, I think those are going to get to all-time favorite status quick..

Congrats. You will love them.

Thanks to Fok for putting these together! We're fortunate to have access to such great GMTOs.

Need to get them home for the test run and make sure size 7 works.

Fok,

Grateful for setting this up. The Natty's are immaculate and well worth the wait. Now if we could get the same make up in a 310 last like the one at 14 oz or natural shell cordovan in the same combination. BTW how did you lace your natty's in the picture you took, is it a Shoe shop lace or a straight european lacing technique http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/shoeshoplacing.htm?

Thank you and can't wait for the next make GMTO's

Also got my Natural CXL today. Quite impressed and surprised that they fit more snug than my size 8 Cypress Haven Scouts that are also unstructured on the 2030. The Service Boot looks less slim than the Scout and I don't feel the arch support as much. I thought I was going to need to size down a half, but now I'm not sure and might keep them. Perhaps it's the thicker leather or the fact that I haven't broken them in yet.

The thickness of the leather does play a huge role. My waxed flesh boots and my chromepak boots in the same size fit differently as well. The chrompak is thinner and fits larger. Both are unstructured with cap toes.

Having the hardest time with the laces. Rawhide or waxed??

Which boots did you get?

Natty CXL - just like above. I think 35 of us were on this order.

I'm looking at jlchau's photos and honestly they both look good. I'm leaning towards the flat waxed laces though.

Just arrived in time for me to take some quick crappy iPhone pics! One in the sun is more accurate, color-wise. They are a true black, without the blue overtones. 3Sixteen shadow selvedge ST-120x jeans. The heel on these is substantial... a good thing, to me, because so many of the Viberg boots have a pretty wimpy heel.


Let us never forget Viberg delivery day, 3/13/15, when we all got the boots we wanted.

Guys, looking at these pictures...I'm speechless! This was my vision for the BCSK and it came out exactly right, just perfect! Unfortunately, I had to go out of town this morning and missed the delivery and I'll be gone for a full week! But I will stare at all the photos and it will help make my wait just a little less painful. So excited to see my dream boot visualized! Enjoy and thanks for the great photos!

Looks like it has extra insurance, which I think requires a signature

is the tracking supposed to say delivered if you missed the signature/ delievery attempt? i'm freaking out right now because my package isn't here

Thank you for leading the charge! It's a true inspired makeup that I'll wear regularly. Can't wait to break these in.

So obviously too late, but I've fallen in love with those natural CXL service boots... any chance they'll be another cycle later on to grab a pair?
