From personal experience,  Dianite soles have fine traction when it's wet out, but once you've got snow or ice they can be pretty slippery…

I hear you Mike.. that's what im thinking. I've read it somewhere. But i dont have personal experience myself hence the enquiry. Was advised by a fellow friend of mine that one can always wear/slip the 'spike thingy' underneath, dont really know what they're called.

I have no personal experience. BUT anything I've ever read from anyone who has ever owned Dainite soled shoes or boots says the same thing: "very slippery on snow and ice".

Anyone have experience with the hikers? I'm curious to know if they'll soak through during the winter.

I need a pair of Viberg service boots in my life badly.  Anyone know who has the best selection of said boots?

[Guest]

Probably Superdenim.co.uk

[Dirty Denim]

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

[Dirty Denim]

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?

Hi Dirty Denim

they are indeed an older pair of superdenim Viberg boots.  They are about 2 years old now.

The boots originally had a vibram christy sole.  Page 49 of this thread shows some nice examples of the boot with the original christy sole.  I personally prefer the Dainite sole and Cats Paw heel.

Finding a pair of "off the shelf" service boots that are spot on for your needs is going to be tough.  The superdenim and 4 Horseman boots for example, are made in limited numbers.  Even though the 4 Horseman boots are a currently available model on their website they are still made to order which requires an approximate 6-8 week lead time.

My suggestion would be to contact viberg and get a pair of custom boots made, same kind of lead time I believe but you obviously get whatever you want.

The viberg blog is also a great place to check out the different designs.  It is a quite a dangerous blog, every time I check it out I see some new combination that is just so nice.

The service I had from Viberg when geting my boots re-soled was really good, I would recommend you get in touch with them and look to go down the full custom route.

They chewed up my heel the other day, so I am giving them a breather. I'll try and get some action shots by the weekend.

[Finn666]

I'll try to get some pics up soon, Rafa.;)  Things are busy right now; hopefully, I'll get some time in the next couple of days.

[Finn666]

don't feel rushed mate, it's all good! just being excited that's all

[natehate]

has anyone found the communication with viberg and you to be um lets say rather less then satisfactory considering the price and custom nature of the beast?
