Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

Interesting. I'd be surprised to learn that Viberg would suggest anything but the best treatment for their boots...

+1. Or Horween for that matter.

Viberg advertises that they include a small container of VSC or Viberg Leather Preservative.with each pair of their boots. I received a small container of VSC with my pair of Viberg boots.

Thanks for this. (I may have to use it on my wife someday!) Great stuff.

Ditto, great stuff - thanks for that post!

Hello all you Viberg-heads. Finally bit the bullet and joined. Another reason is I have a few things I want to get rid of in the marketplace.

I don't see many 310 lasts available online. In fact, I scoured through all of the Viberg retailers. Only one carried them, IIRC, and they were priced quite a bit more than what Iron Heart has been charging (750 USD).

Now, this is my favorite last. What do you guys think is the possibility to get a styleforum batch of some design in 310?

Take care, all.

I don't think you'll ever find again Viberg's within EU in the price range IH sold them (unless they end up in sale).

Places to look at: kentaurus, van Afferden, vater und sohn, volls.

VMC and 14 oz berlin have atleast had boots on the 310 last so you might want to check those too.

Looks like there is still some at Kentaurus, including these beauties:




though the euro/dollar conversion will hurt...

Linafelt, you're killing me. I'm still waiting on my natty shells from 14oz Berlin, and now this.....

Those Euro prices include VAT. So take somewhere on the order of 20% off the price (either they'll do it automatically, or they'll send you a Global Blue form to mail back in) and you'll get them for a bit closer to US prices. And no customs on the boots being sent to the US, because it's only country of origin that matters, which is still Canada.

^ I hear ya @westie187 . It's only with great exertion of willpower that I have resisted ordering a pair of these myself.

That and the fact that they don't have E widths...

"The 2030 is a single E width and is based on a Canadian Military Officer's last."

The Kentaurus boot above is on the 310 last though, which Viberg makes in both D and E widths. I've tried them on and realize that I am a 9.5E in that last.

This paragraph on the 2030 is interesting though: It says it is a default E width, but then it also says that those with a wider forefoot should order a half size larger than their other boots. Doesn't seem to jibe.

My 310 lasted Service Boots were MTO's when Viberg still did them. My favorite style last from them by a mile. Love the look

I am being severely tempted by the Navy Latigo at Brooklyn clothing. I like the matte finish.

I love mine- bought from Viberg about two years ago, when they still did MTOs
