Whoever got these brown horsehides, you are going to love them. I've seen this leather in real life and it is pretty unbelievable...


werd... i've got a pair of 310s in that same HH and i wholeheartedly dig. i was actually thinking about snagging those too, but they sold with a quickness.

I grabbed the size 8. Those are the Nigel Cabourn collabs from 2012. They're quite rare, only 75 pairs were made. The pattern is an original based on arctic exploration boots.
Yes I figure out the model. Really hard to justify spending 500$ on boots when I already own nearly 40 pairs of shoes. :/

Wish I had fewer pairs over the last months to grab those.

yup... pretty sure those are identical to mine. although mine are a bit beat up.

Curious where you got yours -- seems like a pretty rare leather for Viberg. (And of course, I'd love to see beat-up pics..)

I grabbed these, was pretty pumped when I saw them and pounced quickly.

Were these made with Horween shell cordovan? Says on the website that these were made with brown horse butt but viberg refers to other shell models as shell cordovan.

What products do you guys use to take care of your Viberg's? Saphir? trees perhaps?
I'm using Lexol. I still have the VSC but the consensus in the Shoe Care thread is that VSC isn't ideal; has too much turpentine or something.
