shanks, take a look at this train wreck if you have free time
(I know it's titled whites, it morphed to a viberg buy)

yep but hardly matters, they're doing so much business with japan, and the custom makeups with the various shops
I think you can still call them up and get a custom boot made, there certainly will be a wait, I think it's really the horse that is pretty much impossible to get them to do custom

Sadly, you are probably correct. I'm actually not to bothered about horse-hide, it's the square toe of the service boot I like. Do you know if they can do it in an alternative leather, e.g., Chrome Excel by Horoween, or does the 301 last only work with the horse hide leather?

Chrome Excel, 310 last, as army or service boot - no problem.
Getting a feedback from Viberg might be a problem…go through an established dealer or retailer like Ultrasoundboots or Giles.
HH as a single custom job - unlikely.Current wait time: +12 weeks...

@Jii:
Roughout collects stains and dirt like no other, it's just something you'll have to live with.
And as fate has it, I dropped a healthy dose of mayo on the other boot when I was eating a burger. I guess I had that coming. One ugly ass stain right in the middle of the upper part of the toebox. I'll do my best to get it out.

been thinking of this since day one. should I thrash the hell out of this suede/roughout or should I bother cleaning it and getting rid of some stains etc.
Trash the FUCK out of them.

Good luck, give em your best. Vbergs are pretty tough, I think you will be pleasantly surprised in your attempts to "trash" them, you just might find your only bringing out their true calling in life. Please keep us posted.

I've done almost everything to my IHV-01's and I swear I could take 5mins to clean them up and you would think I'd only had them a week.
So yes, good luck, as Z said.

Ey… you've got a point. Mine went for a swim in puddlesssssss of water like twice. The whole pair came out spanking brand new the next day.
Will post some pictures if I ever have any 'progress'...
