G so u say a service boot is possible?  I can only imagine what those will look like

@Giles:

One of my more probing customers has just asked me if I'll do a service boot for him.  Guess what?  Answer = yes.

Viberg collab or other brand?

Rough out black and smooth blue service boot with tygum…uh oh...is this too much???

We were discussing service boots but thanks smartass!

[joesaintjohn]

I'm still a little confused on the differences. Are these smoke jumpers or service boots? I really like this look for a blue, maybe with a rough out on the front? I don't know why I'm in love with that blue leather.

[bagley920]

Service boots typically have a narrower toe box

^Those are kind of a tweener if you ask me

[joesaintjohn]

Okay, after much detailed research, aka google image searching, I've realized these are service boots. Man I love those boots.

[bagley920]

Apparently the boot I inquired about is no longer being made. It was only posted on the blog one month ago….hmmmm

Those are nice boots.  Im not sure I agree with Viberg's recent usage of that sole though.  Seems odd on anything other that a Tricker or other British boot.  The color is fantastic though.  I like how Viberg  (on their blog at least, lol if any of them are actually available) is using Latigo leathers.

yea, Im baffled by this as well.  Most of the shit they post is unobtanium.

I was considering a pair of the Collaboration Smoke Jumpers in the colour way that Joe posted, albeit in rough out. But I'd be asking if they could get a Dainite Ridgeway sole instead.

jordan23 those boots are soo nice
how long did it take you to wear out the sole?
how much was the resole and how long did it take?

[Jordan23]

Long story nate! I ve worn it about 3-4 times the week for 1 year.
They were resoled by a local shoemaker in my hometown Berlin which Burg & Shild (the store which did this collab with viberg) has assigned. The shoemaker made a mistake at first. After 5 weeks i get them back with the rubber sole Redwing uses for their Ironranger model. I gave it back and the shoemaker had to built up a complete new sole looking like the original. Finally after 4 more weeks he was ready and in my opinion the result looks as sick as before.;)

So, G man comes through in the clutch for my bad case of the blues. I PM'd him and he's going to get this boot made! It's $660 US, so a $330 deposit. S-T-O-K-E-D!

dude, you are pumped.  Those are beautiful.  Embrace the wait, treat it like a courtship.

What is the wait time?  About 3 months?

[SpaceGnome]

im not sure what their current wait time is.  I can hardly handle White's respectable 8 week build time.  Im not sure I could stomach Viberg or Russell's build times.
