Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

Very nice. No half sizes on the service boot?

Unfortunately, we only had enough leather left for 6 pairs of the Service Boots to be made. That being said we can stretch a pair a half size for you if you know your size. Just let us know ahead of time or put it in the notes of your order during checkout.

Good. Lord.

Today at 1pm we will be releasing an 8" Engineer and a Service Boot both in Black Horsehide. The leather is from Shinki tannery in Japan and both boots feature full Cat's Paw soles. The Engineers have roller buckles also from Japan. We went to pretty great lengths sourcing the components for these two boots and i'm really happy with how they turned out.

Whoever snapped up the size 10 Service Boot right away -- you saved me from temptation!

A question for Guy, just out of curiosity: The edges of the horsehide on these are not natural, as HH seems usually to be. Have they been died black? Or is that just the nature of this particular HH?

Good eye! The Shinki Horse is dyed all the way through. Well not quite, as you will notice an almost grey core on certain places, but it's pretty close to solid. It's tough to capture in photos, but this is really, really nice leather.

 

[linafelt]

Yeah, really beautiful leather, for sure...

So, I take it that the Horsehide is not available, even if we were to get several people to sign on for an order?

Hi guys,

Just wanted you guys to know that I am extending the deadline for the order of the MTO Styleforum boots, both the loden green service boot, and the tan bison scout boot, to December 15. Unfortunately, I had a bit of a medical emergency, and have not been able to fulfill requests the past week. If you wish to preorder, please feel free to do so here (I think that we have 2 great makeups that are entirely different, and that are both reallt special and will be something special for you guys):

Hi Fok

Just one question as i owned only one pair of Viberg and its on 11o last size 7 with outsole length 11.75", does the Service Boots in 2030 last has the same out sole length as the the 110 last?

thanks.

It's approximately the same for the same size, but the toebox is rounder.

Shinki is the ****, and those engineers are pretty much as good as they come (tho I'd take an extra inch on the instep strap and no pull loops ). Soft toe, I presume?

 

[Aquaphor]

Anyone know how to size the last 2005 engineer?

I'm size 8 in the 2030

I'd go with the same size. The 2005 last is specifically for the Engineer boot, so it's more forgiving than the 2030 in the toe area and instep, but it shouldn't be enough to go up or down a size.

These just arrived! They're stunning. Perfect fit too!

I sent a pair of the black cordovan boots back (too small) to Viberg on 11/23 from New York City via USPS Priority Mail International. It cost close to $50 to ship them

Tracking information today says:
"Item refused by recipient. Item being returned to sender"

I have had the worst luck mailing stuff from the US to Canada...

Did you communicate with Viberg to say that you're sending it back?
