Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

Posting for the first time in a long time to say... $1,450? Get the **** out of here. Seriously. Get out.

lol. Yeah, not for me, but on the other hand, I might be persuaded into these in a last that fits my foot better:

Service Boot® Natural Tumbled and Plated Shell Cordovan

The Service Boot® is our most iconic product that dates back to 1931. This version is a 5 eyelet, 4 hook ankle boot. Our Tumbled & Plated leather is a custom makeup in collaboration with Horween. For this release we’re using Shells that have been tumbled in a large wooden drum. Once Tumbled, ...

I'll have to check and see if I screamed "Get the **** out of here" when I opened the link for that one a few years ago.

I remember me thinking it. The 8s are kinda interesting but the pricing is not worth it to me

 

[smartbrother]

Isn't that similar to what they charged for the tumbled black she'll a couple of years ago?

$1,390 for those, if you're referring to the ones on the vintage last

Oh, then with the trees these new ones are practical free

I really hope most people skip out on these as a clear message that price increase is too much. I actually said wtf when I opened the page.
I say this as someone who is patiently waiting for his calvados Halkett order.

I feel like this is a tricky up-sell. Look at the high tension lasted points, the heel and the toe cap, all flattened out.

Imagine spending 1450 and then having them reverse patina over time...

Maybe they're hoping to keep it a small run, if the factory is backed up. In that case better to jack up the price, no? I'd prefer a non-shell virtual MTO event anyway.

lol it's probably for the boot trees

gotta prop up Brett's 5" shaft somehow

So shell is never on the table for their mto? Not even common shell like black or color 8?

It was 1290 when the shopify was leaking all the pages out, big inflation in 48 hours!

Yeah, I saw that, too. Wasn't all that tempted at that price, either, but now I know my wallet's safe for sure...

They're not doing MTOs anytime soon so MTO isn't on the table for their MTO ?

So, just to be clear... what IS on the table for their MTO?

Depends on what leather they have. At the MTO events they bring swatches, sometimes they only have enough of a leather to make 2-3 pairs.
