I feel like these are pretty much exactly what Styleforum made in one of our very first GMTOs.

I was tempted to recreate the half Japanese for MTO and the Hopper(came close on this one)

Not in the market, but I like these! Viberg’s recent releases look more refined than the old service boots.

I think I prefer the less refined Viberg

Like the idea of the Mahogany shell & the change in offering for:

Storm GY welt
Derby boot
Ridgeway sole

Just wish the last offered was a dressier almond shaped one. Their addition of French binding and brass eyes just doesn’t carry well what the Service Boot or Derby Boot tells of the brand.


-Derby’s pattern is more dressy over the Service boot.
-Storm welt is more casual over a flat welt.
-GYW is more refined over the stitchdown

Imagine a 270 closed heel, Good year flat welt, small brass eye, French binding, and flat laces on an almond shaped last.
Wouldn’t that just be another Alden or C&J ?

Seems that’s where the offerings are trending to anyhow...food for thought

I like both ?

If I didn’t already have Mocha Shelby and Armagnac service boots, I’d consider these.

Alden and CJ both have more intricate patterns and finishing that I don’t see Viberg doing considering the extra amount of work and quality control needed.

Viberg will always feel more on the casual end to me.

I agree that the makeup is mix of dressy vs casual. Even the mocha Shelby doesn’t feel as dressy as the average Alden boot to me.

None of this is a negative to me though. I just see Viberg occupying a different space.
