Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

[WeatheredHide]

I bought the latigo last year and have been eyeing these ever since, glad to have pulled the trigger during their sale. We actually didn’t discuss turnaround, though I’m assuming once he receives them he’ll update me with that info.
I posted not too long ago asking you guys which one of you had work done on these. Coincidentally nick had also done work on the pair I found online and sent me a pic which I’ll post below. Mine will be very similar: JR double sole, vibram Richard half sole, JR stacked blocks and JR dovetail.

Wow, that looks outstanding!

I love the Gloxi-Cut soles, and will probably keep them until a re-sole is needed. But I love knowing they can be completely transformed like this into another boot. I may do the very same as you when the time comes for these and/or my blue latigo pair.

While I don't have quite the collection that some of you gents do, I've got enough boots in the house that wearing any of them down seems years away. The patina doesn't come quickly either.

Maybe next time I'm feeling like a new pair I should just re-sole some of the ones I've already got, rather than adding still more to the rotation.

Anyway, please share yours when they're done, @Squizzy3k. Can't wait to see them!

Very nice, I had him do essentially the same thing on my navy shell pair and it came out great

Beautiful colour. How true are the pictures? I'm getting grey and olive tones but I can't tell in what balance.

Too many MTO events and remakes ago to track

I'd say they're a bit darker in person than in the pictures, the main tone is grey but with a bit of brown underneath.

Aged bark on bark. This was a purchase from the recent Cultizm sale (with free 2 day shipping from Germany to the US!)

I'd not seen an MTO stitchdown derby boot before, nice to see that's possible. Are they structured/unstructured?

My derby boots have been sitting at FedEx in Tennessee waiting for customs clearance... Supposedly I'll get them tomorrow! ?

But the anise calf derby boots you bought are stitchdown lol. They started doing it last year I think it was, I love the combination, have the anise derby boots as well. These are partially structured.

I know I know, but recently I was told here that Viberg won't MTO Horsebutt on 2040 even though they've done it in recent production runs, so I wasn't sure.

Oh oh yeah, I mostly think that what Viberg says they'll do or won't do comes down to how whomever you're asking feels on that day lol. They said that about 2040 at the last MTO event, then have done 2040 horsebutt since. It may come down to the specific horsebutt though, i.e. Maryam vs Horween vs Shinki might be different. They also have a lower tolerance for risk on an MTO than a production run and that factors in too. It's why you can't MTO shell basically.

Yeah Viberg is pretty inconsistent with what they say. They told me they don’t do relasting for 110 to 2030 but then I’ve seen two people have done it so it’s a toss up

I was also just recently told that they could relast 2030 11.5 to 2040 11, after I think someone here saying that they wouldn't go down in size.
