How does a Dainite sole hold up to ice and snow?
"The best way of still having a formal shoe which you can wear in the snow would be to look at a different sole unit. There are a few great ones which come to mind! The most formal would be the Dainite sole, Paraboot latex sole or the commando sole (probably the least formal of the lot.) These soles can handle this kind of weather no problem and they insulate your feet more than leather soles. Leather soles are also damaged from salt, so keep that in mind."

1950 has more eyelets plus an additional eyelet at the top rim of the boot…
Thanks; I was wondering about that myself…

Thought I would share my two pairs of Vibergs with you all
The latest pair are a pair of Superdenim service boots. I picked them up off ebay but got the sizing wrong. They were a size too small. I sent the boots back to Viberg and they stretched the boots by a full size and re-soled them for me with a Dainite sole and cats paw heel. The boots originally had a Vibram Christy sole.
My first pair are now starting to age well and are showing some nice wear patterns. I picked up a pair of the 4 Horseman boots and have been really pleased with them. Real low maintenance boots, they get brushed every few weeks and that is it.
Cold weather has a few benefits, breaking out the Vibergs for the winter season is one of them.

Man, I'm so in love with those 4 horsemen…I think I'm about to be a 3 Viberg family.

great images. i actually really like the first pair. what a difference a sole change makes. think all my future boots will have that little tab pull for me to tuck the extra length of lace when tied up.
ddtrash & uwm have shown me the light when it comes to sole options on a great pair of boots.

Beautiful stuff

I need a pair of Viberg service boots in my life badly. Anyone know who has the best selection of said boots?
-
Probably Superdenim.co.uk
-
Ty for that..they have a great pair on there. I convinced my entire family to chip in to buy me a pair of one of the service boots for Christmas. I can't wait
:-*. Now I just need to figure out if I want rough outs which seem to be a bit more pricey -
DDtrash's pair would be what I would want if I don't cop the rough outs. The current pair on superdenim doesn't have that toe cap like ddtrash's pair..are those an older version?
