Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

[cj610]



Yes and no.  Viberg doesn't do group orders except through stockists, like Styleforummarket.  Part of the reason that we set that up was because more and more wholesalers are finding it unprofitable and difficult to work with individual groups who don't have retail experience.  We are happy to entertain whatever the membership wants, but for each order, we do try to limit to 2, and in some special circumstances, 3 different makes, based on popularity, and we try to not have 2 makeups that are too much alike.  Our next set of makeups will be in September, since we still have 2 sets of orders outstanding, and I want to get those out to members before we do another order.

Stay tuned.

Cheers,

Fok.

Thanks for the good information. I'm looking forward to the copper roughout's on the 110 so I'll be on that one but would also certainly be a solid commitment if the waxed leather above came out in the 110 (or a waxed leather shoe version in the 110 (big feet)). Regardless, thanks for putting all this together........it's a unique opportunity for the SF community! After a bit longer, you wonder if Viberg will have the capacity to handle bespoke group orders..........

2045 is pretty chunky, undecided if I like it or not

Great boots on a great last I say.

They have, in the past, but as with many makers, they found that it's not a great business, unless they have a special production line just for that. Some companies, like Edward Green, have that, and St. Crispin, is pretty much all bespoke, but the prices for Edward Green Top Shelf starts at something like $1600 for the base model.

We couldn't get that leather in on time, so we will do it next round, as long as Viberg is ready.

any chance there are spots open for that group order?

Plenty of time and spots. The pre-order process likely won't begin until mid-September or so and then you will have 3 weeks to order. Process is payment in full and delivery time seems to be 12 weeks or longer.

@rydenfan

How do you size the 2030? 7.5 or 8?

And do you wear an insole or thicker socks?

The 110 last looks super generous. I would have to go down to a size 7 I think.

Size 8 in boots with a thicker sock like Danner, no insole. I also went 8 in 2045 and while a bit roomy I don't think sizing down would have worked.

That being said, I went 7.5 on the Natty CXL Derby as with a thin sock the 8 is very roomy and I wanted to mitigate heel slip on the shoe.

Do tell..

Scotchgrain shell is a grail for me (which Tif knows).
Whether it is Viberg or another manufacturer.
When I saw @stevent post them on Instagram, I commented immediately.
