They look nice. What heels have you got. Looks like leather to me. People are saying cat paw heels. Why have a leather sole and a cat paw heel not all leather or all rubber?
-
cats paw heel will not slip todd and its vintage inspired as cats paw and biltrite were rubber companies supporting shoemakers. some of the heels are repros but in some cases you will get a deadstock heel on to the boot if lucky
all personal taste mate some info
-
Sole search continues, anyone knows what kind of sole this is?
Can see the cats paw heel but otherwise clueless.To me a great overall look and setup.

this is a nice sole combo imho biltrite and cats paw heel

^Viberg's new boot builder is online, but not on their site, yet. It isn't completed (probably why it's not on the site), and the pricing is WAY off; but it appears they have changed their model range. The service boots are definitely different – more like White's. I'm curious if anyone can shed any light on this...

It very well could be an older link than I am familiar with. The only builder I ever played with featured a 40's Service Boot, and a 50's Service Boot, in addition to the Hikers, Oxfords, etc.. It didn't have the Semi Dress Service, the Navy Service, the 8" Service, or the Engineer. Also, the leathers are different from the one I previously used.
My first visit to their site was late November '12, so it is entirely possible that this is an older builder.
Although, if it were older, it wouldn't really make sense that it is partially completed. The leathers in this builder also line up with the recent samples provided by Viberg.

its the new builder
the naval boots interesting looking
the service boot still looks the same as always just they're showing it at a 8" height
i knew the semi dress was coming out as brett had sent me a pic of it in november
engineers were on the old builder
they need to add last options and heights to some boots in my eyes
i'm glad its going back up thou, totally missed playing with it -

It really looks like the old one to me, before they came out with the 1940 and 1950 Service Boots. And the prices just seem far too low for custom Vibergs. But I don't know for sure – just what it seems like...

Great classic looking boots Finn. Really dig the rich color.
