Viberg

[Aetas]

Thanks,
360 degree vamp for increased waterproofing and then they stitch the toe?
Still like the boot, but that seam is senseless.

@Seul:

What kind of resole you thinking?

thinking something along these lines for my black pair:

Original Chippewa" 6" Service Boot if anyone can find these in a US 8 I'll give you my Black Viberg's
bottom of sole

& hellboy they are a UK 7.5, style is 1950

Best socks ever for engineer boots. Stay up all day. http://www.techsox.com

The faux cap has historical roots. It was a measure to save leather and achieve (almost) the same look.

damn mickey, those chippewa's are dope… (already searching for'em!)
and great idea for a resole, should look ace!

[seanocono]

Dudes, love those Chippewas, too. Why don't we do one in a Viberg build? We already have three.

sorry, but i'm not in.  can't commit to any "new" boots for the year, my stock room is a bit crazy at the moment

Looking at flogging my UK 9 Boondockers. I totally still love the style, but these are 110 last and just a little too big/wide for me. PM me if anyone's keen. $500 incl shipping anywhere.. I'm just too in love with the 2045 last Viberg boots to justify hanging on to them.

well aware that these are not everyone's cup bottle of tea beer and not the most easy color to combo, but me like….

Viberg 145 Oxford, 110 Last, Horween rough-out ketchup leather, black Vibram 2021 sole, size UK 7

I love ketchup!

If I could take my eyes off those bloody Christy's, I think they cool…

[mclaincausey]

With "mustard" laces?

[madmonday]

red goes with Rocket & you always get points from me for always doing you.

What are some of the other sizes you wear in footwear  (i know you do wesco as well)? Are those Vibergs comfortable for you or a bit close?

[Seul]

I like 'm as well… Black christy looks great on those!..

@monday

NB US 8.5 / Nike US 8.5 / RW US 8 / Wesco US 8…..

first impression was that a UK 7.5 might be a option, but I made a 3 mile walk out of the box with them, wearing some mid-weight Anonymous Ism socks and no weird pain, rubbing or whatever happened, so they fit as they should, imo.

mclaincausey, maybe that works, will go and search for some waxed mustard laces now...

and for the sole, I think a mini ripple would look cool...
