Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

[caffed]

After one day wear with S&S waxed deer boots, I really like the soles. Heavy but with a good deal of flex. One of my most comfortable Vibergs as no break-in was needed.

Love those tumbled shell boots!

Tumbled black shell vibes from a few months ago. Added dark brass eyelets and replaced Dainite with Vibram 705 half sole. Also switched black edges to dark brown.

Really nice mods. Looks great. How’s the fit on that last?

These have the Vibram 430 right?

Yep.

I’ve been thinking about getting some Limmers one day. So many people swear by them and say one pair will last a lifetime.

I've got a pair of barely-worn Limmer Lightweights for sale in Buy & Sell; they're marked US 9 W, but they fit more like a 9.5, unless you're wearing super-heavy hiking socks:

SOLD: Limmer "Lightweight" Hiking Boots US 9W

Offering a like-new pair of Limmer "Lightweight" hiking boots. I bought them a little over 5 years ago from Limmer Boot in New Hampshire, but I only wore them about 5 or 6 times. As you can see from the pictures, they're not even really broken in...

Yep.

Nice. I think I’m gonna send a pair off to swap out dainite for the 430.

Very nice! Love how the eyelets almost match the un-dyed underside.

What’s your opinion on the soles? I have some boots with the V-bar sole and they are really durable and high wearing but not very shock absorbent.

I have the same soles on a pair of Viberg side zips. The soles are very hard wearing, without much give. But in my opinion, they don't feel much different than Dainite.

Cool.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Vibram 430 for comfort and grip. How long they will last is still unknown but so far seems on par with Dainite studded.

Very generous in my same 2030 size, which I take 1/2 down from Brannock. Toe box feels very roomy, but not sloppy. I just got them back from Nick at Perkin Shoe Repair, so I haven't worn them yet.

I have it on a pair of White’s that have about 40 or so wears. Soles still look brand new. I definitely prefer it over dainite.

Oh too bad. That’s one size too small for me.

Drat! Missed it by that much...

Shinki Natural shells just arrived from S&S. They are beautiful and also came with a nice S&S canvas tote. Very happy with the finishing on these as well.

Loving those waxed deer service boots. Wore my side zips today. If I didn’t have these, then I’d be jumping all over those.
