Viberg

[Peter]

i really wanted an invoice at 13:37 haha, but still nothing..

@Snowy:

Amazing how fast these are going. Wonder how Viberg are judging the market segment/demand for "Fashion boots". I know Brett was trying to illustrate there was a demand for quality, wonder if this has helped….

i think his dad long ago realized that the fashion market was taking over his business
hell theyve even stopped doing horse hide for custom orders because 2 shops have standing orders to use all they get and then viberg them selves are using the rest (ps im gutted about this fact)
also the growth of the team that we can see with morgan and guy. pretty obvious the dad has come around

[Snowy]

^ Nothing but agreement to that. thanks for spelling it out.

[natehate]

i have to take some pics and email jason today, see if i can fit into a 12 in the 310 last. if i cant im gonna be heart broken!

@natehate:

if i cant im gonna be heart broken!

why´s that?
btw. what´s your normal viberg size?

[natehate]

12.5 ee in the work toe fits nice
13ee in the 310's a bit long
and i'll be heart broken because i cant custom order them and i know that vmc is getting the boots i want in and doesnt order half sizes

[Finn666]

that´s a bit fucked…crossing fingers lad!
though i have to say one full size down from your other 310 last boot doesn´t sound that promising imo! :-\

[Peter]

54 still havent sold and i havent heard anything about them. theyre mocking me!

[Concret]

Good luck with  round 4(?) guys, in the meantime here are some fit pics of my new hh engineers. Today i had them on for the first time, the whole day. My feet were killing me at the end of the day, but nothing could erase the grin off my face.

[Finn666]

^ such an awesome boot right there P.! congrats again…

could have these resoled with a dainite sole for an additional USD90...thoughts?

[Chris]

What's on it now?  Looks pretty hefty.  I wouldn't spend the extra money to replace a new sole unless it was something entirely impractical.

here the full specs:
Service Boot, Mocha Roughout Vamp/Counter/Brogue Toe Cap, Bullhide Quarter/ Top Band, Red Lining, Vibram 700 Sole, Brown Midsole, 3 Speed Hooks, 310 Last

and i think i´m with you on this…maybe i should just wait for round 4 (if there´s even going to be one!) :-\

Nice concret, loving the vintage low toe box and of course all of the engineer. As soon as the hide shapes the whole boot will become supercomfy. They need a bit some time but it is worth every minute your toes suffer a bit :). I worked with an insole on mine VMC Annis until they had broken in to take pressure away from my toes, especially when walking downhill

[Peter]

concret: those are very nice! loving the toe box. making me want a pair of engineers myself.

on a side note; it has been more than 24h since i requested #54 now - still nothing, so i guess im shit outta luck!

[tatmantall]

Just got a message from morgan that my ice mocha engineers are finished. Should have my julian engineers tomorrow and hopefully these make it here by next week! At least a few good things about today

shame on viberg for making something like this..

[Concret]

Thanks davito, actually the pain was not on my toes but on the sole of the foot(i might need a provisional thin sole). On the other hand, the leather on the vamp  already began to form around my feet, loving the hh properties!

@Peter:

Thanks man, that toe box was what pulled me to buy this pair on the first place.

Hey Rafa,  dainite sole is not a bad  idea.

[Finn666]

@SimonQ.:

shame on viberg for making something like this..

imo they aren´t THAT bad…just the sole and the extra 90USD for a resole is holding me back! leather combo is quite interesting imo!

@Concret:

Hey Rafa, those boots look pretty sweet and a dainite sole is not a bad idea at all. I might been biased with the rough out, just can't resit it 

still need a pair of roughout vibergs…if not these then hopefully round 4 is bringing some more heat to the tables!...

[Finn666]

btw. Peter…here´s the situation with #54:

"#54 is awaiting payment from another customer." - so i guess they´re gone. sry lad!

[Peter]

thanks finn. yeah i just received an email stating this as well. they're giving him til the end of the day to pay, before moving down the list.
