Viberg

[Friday]

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.

[Chiba J.]

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?

[ddtrash]

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.

paging Chris, paging Chris…wanna see pics of your new boots mate!

[Guest]

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]

Not to shit up the thread but I had some questions about whites boots(through bakers) and they called me to make sure everything was correct and satisfactory.
