I don't have a specific symmetry shot of the beaver fur kudu toe caps (like the one above of the peanut kudu makeup), but if you wanted to see these boots, here's a photo I posted on Instagram (and maybe here, too) several months ago. As I said above of the peanut kudu boots, I'd prefer slightly larger toe caps than these, but still love this pair.

Here's the text from that Instagram post:

Viberg's beaver fur kudu service boot was one of the most interesting Viberg makeups to drop last year. Just about everything we call "character" on a boot showed up in this pair -- rolls, wrinkles, grain, scars, depth of color...​

​

I've got a lot of boots but no other pair connects me more closely with the animal whose hide it was crafted from than this makeup. And each boot in this pair has its own character, individually looking quite different from the other -- yet together looking very much the pair.​

​

If Denys Finch Hatton ever gifted someone a pair of boots, I feel like they might very well have looked something like these.​

​

(The beaver fur kudu leather is a shrunken grain tannage antelope hide from the C.F. Stead tannery.)​

I really like both of those makeups. It makes me want to go in on the bronze kudus from last season

One of my kids dropped a chocolate chip waffle on these camel oiled calf derby boots this morning, and the oily leather brushed it right off.

Is that legit? Are they going to do online mto?

Not the worlds greatest pictures but this is the horse hides I was discussing the other day with a couple years of wear.

Love it. Would take crust work shoe butt over Shinki any day.

No idea if it is legit, although it doesn't mention any Nigerian royalty. I would call Viberg to verify if I was going to do it. I don't think it is for MTO, just a sizing/last/leather consult in general.

2045 last?

Yes. Surprising I like the look of the wider lasts. They are more rugged imo.

It has been a while since I've poked them about MTOs coming back, I may as well ask again I guess.

I didn't get it, but I know that their Customer Service person is named Thomas. I am sure it is legit.

These are definitely some of the waxiest boots I have. Really versatile!
