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?

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.

Perfect Friday!

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.

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?
i know theyre super busy, but fuck me a week- 2 weeks to responde to a emailNot 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.
-
Nate, I dont want to shit up the thread either, but thats one of the reasons they wont get my business. Any place that makes the customer feel like getting a response is either a privilege or an inconvenience to the company can go f themselves. Being too busy is not an excuse that I find acceptable.
-
I didn't have any issues with speed, but between the website and the two people I talked to, I got three different prices. I also never got anything in writing. At $600+, that's a bit disconcerting. Shipping the boots without requiring a signature or even letting me know they were on the way, bothered me a bit, too.
I really like the boots, though.

Trying to deal with Viberg directly has been a bad experience for me.
Dealing with them through one of their agents used to work OK/acceptable (if you consider +6 months wait time OK…) until recently.
Now they tell me not to bother with Viberg anymore.Apparently, it has to do with the interview - them trying to raise their profile/prices to the level of the Japanese market and their buddies at Nigel C....
