Chocolate with Vibram Kletterlift outsole would be my recommendation. I wonder if they use a shank and what material it is?
-
This, I can get behind.
-
Any way it can be spec'd so as that there are only two speed hooks on each side? (I find any more to be a great annoyance.)

Not in the market for hiking boots, but this has always bothered me about Viberg hikers and I couldn't agree more with Tres, two on each side at the top of the boot. A collab could be a good chance to offer an alternative to their weird lacing; you don't need that many speed hooks, especially if you use D-rings, you have just as good of a pulley action with those and they are easier to deal with.
EDIT: I didn't realize they have a second model. It doesn't look as classic and cool as the 66, but it uses more D-rings: http://www.workboot.com/hiking-boots/viberg-68-pachena-bay.html

Nice improvement Tres. See what we can do….
The top D ring on the 66 is a bit confusing, as well. Were you thinking of going with a EEE width? Might make for a sizing nightmare.

So, what were you thinking 4 pairs D rings and then 2 pairs of speed hooks?
-
Yeah, and sequentially; mixing them up like they have for the 66 is yet another odd configuration. The more I think of it, the more I like the make up for the 68–just with two pairs of speed hooks. ( I wasn't aware that model came with insulation as well.)
Has anyone else found that with the insulated tongue-flap on the 66, it's near impossible to tighten the laces?
