Viberg

[SpaceGnome]

CXL is a proprietary chrome tanned leather from Horween in Chicago.  Its great leather, but it will "age" faster than normal leather.  Its much softer and pliable right out of the box and requires less break in than normal leather does as well.  Its great though, just not sure it would be my first choice for an engineer boot.

go for horsehide in the engineer mate you will not regret.

my almost everyday go-to-shoe, especially walking the dog as it is with me all the time.

mine are the limited VMC collab for their 25th anni and are approx. one year old.

Finally picked up the Viberg Service Boots in tan roughout from Freemans Sporting Club…

Thick yet comfortable suede leather.  I took a size 8 and normally wear 9D in Aldens.
Pretty fortunate to actually be able to try one on for proper sizing.

Those are absolutely stunning  :o

Davito, those are beautiful…i adore horsehide engineers as they only get better with age   in an ideal world it would be a custom option for either viberg or wesco.  unfortunately I haven't found any horsehide offerings still available in size 12 US    buco offered a horsehide engineer but it went up only to a size 10, same with becks, and wesco...

I see that there has been some interest on here for the Viberg "Boondockers" boot that was a special makeup for Nick Horween. Brett Viberg has offered to do this boot as a special makeup with Styleforum, based on strong interest expressed by members there. Have a look at the thread, and jump on board!

thanks Chiba

If G wasn't already doing something for me, I would jump on that in a heartbeat!

edit, they're going with commando soles, blah!

[Chiba J.]

That hasn't actually been decided yet. And I would only agree to it if it's the sole where the front lugs are hidden and recessed.

[Finn666]

gonna own my first pair really soon
