      I'm personally not into the slim look, but as I have said a bzillion times before:
      a) What do I know
      b) Does it matter
      c) All that matters is what the wearer likes…..

        exactly.  by no mean am I trying to out the boots down.  They are impeccably crafted and look great.  I just have a personal issue with Viberg's toe shapes.  I think the only one I like is the Bobcat, as its the only one that seems to be fairly "normal".  The service boot is too low profile for my liking and the other boot with that upturned toe is nice, but I think i would get tired of it fairly quick.

                        I actually prefer this style toe box.  I think the upturned, squared off toe on the regular Viberg service boot is a bit odd looking.  But hey, that's just me.

                            I've got gun metal eyelets, that may be the only difference…

                              I remember seeing those boots and thinking, "awesome!"….does anybody know what they are, because I'd really like to get a pair made?

                                These are also awesome, good choice G!

                                Btw, what's the spec on them?

                                Also, FWIW, I agree that the 4HS Service boots do look a bit sleek - for me I like (work) boots to be chunky.

                                  Re: My spec.  Don't know exactly, I just sent Brett the pic and said, make me a pair of these please.  Here is an extract from his email confirmation:
                                  Merlot, gun metal eyelets. Mid sole and leather
                                  Outsole are the same.
                                  With a washed out brown edge.  Black or brown leather
                                  Laces would look good.

                                  It's a classic look. Which is good. But still aggressive

                                  The last is the 310 sprung toe last.  It comes in D and E width
                                  It's great last, very comfortable to wear.

                                  Kiya's look the same but the leather is Mocha…

                                    Thanks G…...what's the price range, and can they be ordered through you? I'm guessing that import costs could be quite hefty?

                                      You could, but probably better to go direct.  PM me if you need more info…..

                                            I followed a couple of links after viewing your boots and ended up at this recent interview with Brett Viberg:

                                            Might be of interest to folks.
