Viberg

[smittybat]

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.

Two tone 2045 last. From Morgan @Viberg "The 2045 is a revised Munson last, so
it's intended for walking(or marching if you'd prefer!).

[Finn666]

thanks a ton for the update on your hikers buddy!

so how "heavy" do they feel?…since i'm on the look-out for some nice hiking boots

[Giles]

I'm just working out with Morgan, how I do a run of these…...

[Finn666]

^these = hikers ? ???

some roughouts would be dope imo

[Giles]

Possibly, which colour?

[Finn666]

natural roughout all the way…should be the best for evolving some badass evo after some time of abuse!

[hajduk]

Plus a simple feckin ridiculous sole for hiking…..

[Giles]

The soles on those would be better for skiing…..

[hajduk]

the soles used on the IHVB-03 can be great G!

Smile, my grandfather and father used to ski in their old Swiss army hiking boots. I love the style of those hikers but please with a hardcore sole
