Viberg Engineer Boot - Black

[natehate]

For me I'm 6'3" I don't need any more height then I already have and I have angry feet so yeah regular is my preference . I think that may be something that doesn't need to be exact between every boot?
What does everyone think about the brown mid and 705 sole?

[demonito]

if anyone wants their midsole in brown. just use  brown shoe polish and or use neatsfoot oil to brown the midsole.

[natehate]

What about the sole choice?

[Friday]

Is this ok Demonito? Oil tanned from burg&schild.

[Giles]

OK people we are back to basics.  The spec has to be the same for each of the boots, otherwise Viberg will not make them.  I can accomodate a heel lift variance, but that's now the only change I can accept.  Sorry.  G

Edit.. I need black coffee..  ::)

[demonito]

yeah the black oil tanned is good buddy

[Giles]

I am getting swatches sent to me by Morgan…..

[natehate]

how many of us are in on this boot? just two?
and we need four right?

[Giles]

The only def I know at the moment is Demonito, and yes 4 required…..

[natehate]

I'm out . Sorry boys

[demonito]

buckles will look like these

@Giles:

OK.  I think this is where we are

BLACK LEATHER OIL TANNED LEATHER
STRAPS BE IN THICK OILED BLACK LEATHER
no pull tabs
no lining
Either standard height heel or  1 additional heel lift
vibram 435 sole
good year heel
single stitched welt
extra 1 inch lenght on top and bottom strap
310 last
single midsole

AND WHATS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS IS THAT I WILL SEND VIBERG VINTAGE ROLLER BUCKLES FOR US TO USE AND PUT ON THE BOOTS. IN BRASS MATTE FINISH  (that is Ed being generous)

So, we have confirmed Demonito (Ed) and Freeman….

That's Black CXL on the boot above. The Black Oil Tan is a good strong leather we use on our work boots. It's produced by Seidel Tanning Corp. in Milwaukee, WI. I'll be including a batch of leather samples for Giles' review along witht the order that's nearing completion. Stay tuned!

I was on the fence, but now im off the fence.  Cant do upturned toe on an engineer.  Maybe next round…

[demonito]

woohooo anyone else?

[Giles]

Don't worry Ed, we are making yours anyway…..

[FurattoHeddo]

Is this still happening?

[Giles]

We are doing a sample (for Ed).  If H likes it, yes…..

[Snowy]

Still keeping an eye on this
