Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

Aw that's even worse. So basically Shell cordovan boots are like Yamazaki whiskies. Unobtanium.

Only for stitchdown, but there's plenty of GYW options!

I'm losing interest in the shell cordovan Vibergs, Any other good makers out there?

Enzo Bonafè & I also like Carmina.
If you’re looking for stitchdown…then what @Crizzlelovesyou mentioned.

I didn’t realize Flame Panda was crazy expensive.

Whoa. I was thinking of doing a shoe-boot thing but now…

Hey Mofos, long time no see. I ordered the brown J&FJ in EE after not buying any Vibergs in a few years. I’m not a fan of my Mahogany shell pair I have and been looking for an alternative pair for a while now. These should get a lot more wear.

It is more expensive, but if you're willing to wait I say go for it (unless you were wanting a shell one.) The cost is also going to depend on the makeup too, it won't hurt to get a quote from Peng

I like higher SPI, but they could definitely dial it back some.

I think they hit the sweet spot late 2019/early 2020.

I like the higher SPI aesthetics personally but almost no cobbler can reproduce that as the needles are different too.

Cloe natural shell is now 1450$
Shinki is $900

I have to weigh my flamepandas I have - they are extremely heavy and tanks. My personal opinion is you are getting a Viberg++ in terms of quality and qc.
aesthetic is more similar to Vibergs than your carmina And enzo

Yeah its cheaper if you use non-horween shell, but I would also expand to most ID makers if you want to use non-horween shell. Its that venn diagram of horween shell + stitchdown that's crazy expensive.

yeah I wish I could have used horween shell - but FP did not have any horween shells thick enough for an unstructured boondocker. ?

They are size 10 and GYW. I just don’t wear my shell for some reason?

Second here for Alden shell, having handled them in person. Also I love how Alden gives their stockists full creative control over custom makeups. It's like Viberg stockists in the late 2010's on steroids.
