Viberg

[Aries]

@bagley920:

Can anyone give me a good description or accurate photo of a Viberg color 8 boot? Is it a true burgundy or kinda brownish? Every picture looks different

Colour 8 is a Horween specification, not Viberg, so if you just google Horween colour 8 you'll be able to see a bunch.

I've had many pairs of cordovans in 8, and they do change from a very deep black/purple to a gorgeous burgundy/brown over time.

edit: for example, mine after 4 years of wear:

They look beautiful Aries!!

Thanks mate; I should clarify that this is cordovan leather, not the leather used by Viberg.

Sadly thinking of selling them on. They've served well, but now I've been playing football 2 times a week for over a year, my feet are actually about half a size bigger (weird how that happens!), and these are a little too tight (10.5 Alden plaza last).

If anyone's interested, shoot me a PM.

Thanks Aries, helps quite a bit

Horween corodovan is made in the USA so its color 8 not colour 8 thank you very much!

If I hadn't just picked up a pair of boots I'd be all over those.  May still consider them actually, given that they are my size…

[Finn666]

tod is a great guy and an awesome seller! don't hesitate y'all…

oh and besides the above, those boots are fecking killah
mine are the same and since we're at it, i've bought mine from tod back then

[bagley920]

If these were 9.5 they'd be gone!

Anybody had a pair resoled by Viberg and can shed some light on ballpark cost.  I had a pair of White's resoled by White's for $110, will it be in the same neighbourhood?  I'm just going for a simple vibram 405 no cat's paws or anything like that.

$110 USD
Had mine changed to ripple sole

as requested by rafa, a few words about my "viberg 66 hiker":

this is the best fitting hiking boot i ever had!
i wore them for the first time on a 25 km hike, which is normally a bad idea.
after 10 minutes i forgot i was wearing new boots.
after the hike my feet felt very good, a bit tired but no blisters etc.
the construction of the boot is different (few hooks, etc.), but very comfortable:

the best thing is the price!
viberg has a different price-strategy on workboots than on so-called fashionboots.
looking at the craftsmanship behind the 66hiker, i would estimate a lot more work in them than most fashionboots need.
