Viberg

@Finn666:

i´m sure it is replaceable since it´s actually nothing else (well slightly different!) as on the IHVB-01 or -03…from what i saw is that it´s denim on the outside and leather on the inside (might be clued on or sewed together or however they did it!) but this could work as well for a service boot imo...the only point that has to be reinforced with leather, may be the one where the laces go through!

sounds simple, don´t think it is though! so let´s wait...

I would buy it

Brett has been asked about possibility

[Graeme]

I've seen boots that have a tweed outer, but they tend to be lined with leather. I don't know how denim compares for strength, but if Viberg can do a lined Service boot then it would work.

Here are a couple of photos of similar things.

I think that it could work.

The IH x Viberg boots with 21oz denim are backed with leather anyways.

that's what I said already…so shouldn't be a problem imo!
let's just wait for Brett!

Big congrats Finn mate, nice move u did

[Finn666]

thanks a lot mate…i´m brutal happy with them. i can even wear´em with thick socks which is a big plus (but a no go when wearing my 4HSxViberg boots)!
(these are a UK9 btw. my red wings & yuketen are all US9 and fit the same!)...

Yup! If you go a half size down from TTS, it really isn't the end of the world.

this really throws a wrench in my understanding of viberg sizing…. whammy

[Guest]

Yeah, it's really best if you can find a place to sit down and try numerous styles and models. (Like anything else, really.)

[Finn666]

after owning 2 pairs now, i´m definitley gonna stick with a UK9 in all of my future viberg purchases!
that´d be 0.5-1 size up from my normal shoes/boots (chucks, red wing, yuketen…)

Finn with your two awesome Vibergs
