                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?

                        Well this is what I have inbound, Brett calls it "quite aggressive" - I just like it…....

                        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:

                                    http://www.themilltown.com/chat-with-brett-viberg/

                                    Might be of interest to folks.

                                      When asked about the future of Viberg, Brett replied:  "If it was just me, which it isn’t – I would continue to upgrade the quality and make Viberg into a higher luxury brand. I would make the shoes more expensive and add bags and clothing to create a very high end collection."

                                      I cant knock his hustle, but I think they should stick to making boots.  And making them more expensive is just foolish, as they are already on the upper end of what is reasonable for the product they make.  There comes a point when making something more exclusive and more expensive will kill your business, not bolster it.  (i got the quote in the link Sugar Mountain provided)

                                          Yikes.  Better get them while they're cheap.  Nope, that's the wrong word; um, get them while they're not outrageous?

                                          Seems a risky idea to go higher end and more niche.  They built the company on selling solid workboots.  I'd like to think there's still a viable market for them to continue doing the same, as well as expanding into more "fashion" offerings.
