The Wild Ones - Viberg/Iron Heart Engineer Boot

[Giles]

Just finalised specs with Morgan.  I am seriously pumped.

Here is spec for sample…..Of course things may get "refined" when his H'ness sees the sample......

2005 last
9"
double midsole - prob natural
705 half sole
Cats Paw heel
Vintage style roller buckes (brass on brown, chrome on black)
Hand cut gusset
Longer than normal straps
IH/Viberg stamped on heel seat

[Chris]

Which shade of brown do you intend to use?

[babyknight]

G, for an idiot like me who doesn't understand boot terminology, does that all basically add up to it will look like that photo you posted except for longer straps?

[hajduk]

Same here G, is it this last? The 2005 on the picture?

[Giles]

This is the last…..But the pic is of an 11", so please just look at the toe shape...

Waiting for Morgan to send me pics of the 2 leathers....

[Finn666]

shit…those are dope!

seeing that you go for a pair as well i wonder if your instep is going to be different from all the others?

[Giles]

As standard, they'll be standard instep.  But for pre-orders, we can go fat-boy (like me)…

[Finn666]

sounds like music to my ears so far

I must say, coming together beautifully…

[tmg]

Those are very nice G, so tempted to sign up but that would be crazy as I've not even managed to wear my new Viberg Engineers yet…..and would probably be one pair of boots too far in Mrs tmg's eyes

[Giles]

Do what his H'ness does with his Harleys.  Paint them the same colour, "Then she thinks it's one bike"…..

[Giles]

One of the "game-changers" here is that the calf gusset will not be the "normal" Viberg" styley, but hand-cut to allow more cinch action….

[Giles]

Annnnnnnd….

[Giles]

Haraki and I are spit-balling atm.  My fave so far, the "Boss Boot"…..

[mclaincausey]

Isn't that what Wesco calls their Engineer?

[Giles]

OK, back to the drawing board…....Suggestions?

[mclaincausey]

Ha… I really like Boss...

I also like Street Warrior but Chippewa took that one...

The Outlaw?

"The H Boot"

I just realized how inappropriate this might sound to a Japanese company so I take this back. Was trying to reference Haraki's name but this doesn't work

The Iron Boot or Tough as Iron Boot
