#1 for me dude. They look badass and not overly "dressy"

Normally I'd say go with the cap toes, since I love cap toed shoes, but I really don't like pebble grain leather. So get the smooth leather plain toed ones. After all, you did say you need black footwear…
I agree, the pebble grain doesn't do it for me. But the Horsehide with cap toe looks just perfect. Very close to the 310 last VMC-style horsehides that I have, but I think I like the 2045 last and Dainite sole better…. But oh man, those prices will make you stop and think...

Checked out the Viberg pop up shop with PillowPants. He scored a sic deal on a pair of boots. I'm sure he'll post pics when he can.
Really nice to meet Guy and Morgan. Also, thanks to Andrew from 3Sixteen, always a nice guy.
Apparently, I got the most coveted and emailed about pair from the sample sale, the Harness Bobcats.

are the prices at the pop up shop the same for the boots listed on viberg.com?
-
I'm not sure.

With the post a few pages back regarding shell cordovan, unless there is a difference there seems to be alot of it shown on their facebook for them being so against it and having the service boot on their web page in it??

@toddjcoley, you know, I had the exact same thought when I saw their new site launch. Makes me think the 'root' is something else.
@pillowpants, man, what a great week you've been having. Really appreciate the photo journey Urbs. Great stuff.

what are these?

any comment on those 2 black horse hide boot??
Honestly, I think those two black boots are just about perfect boots to my mind. Love the shape, the sole, the heel, the quality of leather, etc. I was not wild about the pebble grain of the cordovan boot at first, but am warming to it. Really bums me out that I couldn't make the pop-up in NY… Of course, it also bums me out that I don't have an extra grand lying around, since the only thing more eye-popping than the boots themselves is the price-tag!

Viberg Service Boot, Loden Green, Brogue Toe Cap, 8 Eyelets, Commando Sole, No box Toe, 2005 Last
out-of-the-box the leather looked parched & dull.
…. so i gave it a "lift". initially cleaned them w/Lexol leather cleaner, then 1st coat, Lexol conditioner
drying out after the 2nd coat, Sedgwick leather conditioner
2 days after treatment has sipped in & dry to touch. 'topped it off with a 3rd coat, Obenauf LP. i know some will disagee w/the conditioning overkill, but i thought i'd give it a feast before hitting the road. 'started out really dark, but they've lighten up quite a bit after 5days of wear.
