Those brown horsebutts that were posted here earlier deterred me from a marrkt purchase... instead I got the last 9 of the new Vintage Mocha 3sixteen release. Afraid there might be too much overlap with my brown CXL pair from Brooklyn, but there's no turning back now.

At some point everything begins to overlap. Unless it’s a very trimmed down rotation.

What are you guys talking about? What is this overlap? My 40+ pair collection can't have any overlap.... surely everyone can see these 6 different shades of black boots I own!

So my Markket pair is here, gotta give DHL credit. Miloh shop brown HB, size 8. Definitely seconds, wonky stitching, and cracked leather... final sale, oh well, wear it with good health... Good luck everyone...


Sorry to see that. I wonder what the Toscanello HB that were labeled “defect” look like. I had a bad experience with the Marrkt sale. Ordered a pair of Maryam HB boots on the 2030. Receieved a pair or Horween Waxed flesh HB on the 2030. Mine were in great condition, but not what I ordered or wanted. Going to see if I can return since it wasn’t whT they advertised on their site.

Yeah they messed up a lot of descriptions.
https://www.marrkt.com/collections/viberg-sale/products/service-boot-horween-chestnut-essex-1 is a prime example. I own these. The 5 eyelets ones are the 310 cuoio HB model. These are not chestnut essex.

You may be right, but I think there are models on there that don't correspond to any that were previously released, e.g.:

Yeah, I've never seen Maryam calf look like that. The closest those look like are the HB version which is all the specs listed exactly, buuuuut the color is pretty far off. Certainly way different than my 1071 HB 2040s

I guess it could be HB, but the HB version wasn't matte. I suppose that could just be a mistake on this pair though. What about these then?
Were these actually released somewhere?

They're really cool. If its a dressier Viberg that no one knows what it is, I just assume it was a Mr Porter run or asian market run.

They could be HB…who knows. As you pointed out, just because they label something as HB or Calf doesn’t mean it is. I ordered Maryam HB and got Horween waxed flesh HB. It’s the mystery boot lottery????

You didn't even get the pictured boot though right? That's another story.
