Hi everyone, new to SF. I found these boots by accident while browsing heavier denim, and fell in love with the look.

http://www.ironheart.co.uk/hardware/ihvb-04-b-o-t.html

They're "endangered" and completely out of my size. I don't think they will be restocked.

I noticed there have been others with the same style, maybe some different tweaks here and there or color.

Where can I purchase one that looks like this? I couldn't find it on Viberg's official website.

Thanks

Does anyone know if they sell their samples? Shot an email over to info @, but no response.

Those are the 310 last (or shape) boots. Classic! Without the made-to-order program at Viberg anymore, I guess you would have to wait to see if Viberg.com offers any new models built on that last. Though it seems that lately they have been very much into the 2030 last, which is almost the polar opposite to the 310 to my mind.

It may be that VMC in Switzerland still has some 310s -- they had beauties in horsehide -- but that would be a pretty penny indeed.

That's a service boot pattern, I'm pretty sure. Sounds like a great makeup either way.


What's the difference between the boondocker and the service boot? I was under the impression that the boondocker is a type of service boot with a plain toe and rough out leather.

As far as I know there's an extra row of stitching on the counter and vamp for the boondocker. I think the pattern is the same, but I can't say for sure.

Does anyone know which last Viberg uses for their Foreman and Bobcat models over at workboot.com?

Thanks in advance

You might be right. The pattern does look very similar. I was just checking the boondocker on Leffot and it states the boondocker is the plain toe version of the service boot.
