      I posted a link a few pages back about why the price change.  From what I got from it, Brett wants to go high end fashion more or less.  Believe it or not, he wants to charge more

        Anyone know exactly what the difference is between the 1940 and 1950 style service boot is?  They look identical in the custom boot option…

          1950 has more eyelets plus an additional eyelet at the top rim of the boot…

              "The best way of still having a formal shoe which you can wear in the snow would be to look at a different sole unit. There are a few great ones which come to mind! The most formal would be the Dainite sole, Paraboot latex sole or the commando sole (probably the least formal of the lot.) These soles can handle this kind of weather no problem and they insulate your feet more than leather soles. Leather soles are also damaged from salt, so keep that in mind."

                  Thought I would share my two pairs of Vibergs with you all

                  The latest pair are a pair of Superdenim service boots.  I picked them up off ebay but got the sizing wrong.  They were a size too small.  I sent the boots back to Viberg and they stretched the boots by a full size and re-soled them for me with a Dainite sole and cats paw heel.  The boots originally had a Vibram Christy sole.

                  My first pair are now starting to age well and are showing some nice wear patterns.  I picked up a pair of the 4 Horseman boots and have been really pleased with them.  Real low maintenance boots, they get brushed every few weeks and that is it.

                  Cold weather has a few benefits, breaking out the Vibergs for the winter season is one of them.

                  There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                      Man, I'm so in love with those 4 horsemen…I think I'm about to be a 3 Viberg family.

                        great images.  i actually really like the first pair. what a difference a sole change makes.  think all my future boots will have that little tab pull for me to tuck the extra length of lace when tied up.

                        ddtrash & uwm have shown me the light when it comes to sole options on a great pair of boots.

                              Forgive my ignorance but how slippery will that dainite sole be during winter.. It's gonna be my 1st here
                              and I kept on thinking that the only option
                              is to go with lug sole? Please advice. Thanks..

                                    From personal experience,  Dianite soles have fine traction when it's wet out, but once you've got snow or ice they can be pretty slippery…

                                      I hear you Mike.. that's what im thinking. I've read it somewhere. But i dont have personal experience myself hence the enquiry. Was advised by a fellow friend of mine that one can always wear/slip the 'spike thingy' underneath, dont really know what they're called.

                                        I have no personal experience. BUT anything I've ever read from anyone who has ever owned Dainite soled shoes or boots says the same thing: "very slippery on snow and ice".

                                          Anyone have experience with the hikers? I'm curious to know if they'll soak through during the winter.

                                            I need a pair of Viberg service boots in my life badly.  Anyone know who has the best selection of said boots?
