Hello guys, thanks for your replies. I think I found it. It should be the Derby Shoes by Viberg, although I couldn't find which edition they are, but I can confirm by the same stitch at the back of the heels. Hope I can find these specific pair soon!

It's just a ptb with an awful sneaker sole. Probably some Johnston and Murphy crap. Plenty of J and M models have similar looking soles.

I dont see any Vibergs with that sole construction, though I didn't spend much time looking.

Yes, those are Vibergs.

Marrkt is having a sample sale on them right now. They don't have that specific model, but if you like that style, you may enjoy their other designs.


There's a Viberg thread on the SWD side of the board, where you can get sizing advice. FWIW, I have a pair of their boots on the 2030 last and really like them.

That's not a "sneaker sole." It's a 2060 Vibram sole. Work shoes are commonly made on those types of soles. It's also stitched on.

Thanks for the correction.
