Viberg

[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.

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.

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.

with 8 bills on the line and cant get straight answers im not gonna be in a hurry for another pair of customs i know that much is true

[SpaceGnome]

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.

[Chris]

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....

And we can't wait to see pics, Chris.

^ !

^^ "raising prices" isn't something I'd have said in an interview anyway…not good for the customer-relationship at all imo!

G made the process extremely easy for me…..
