Viberg

[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 

[Scottystyles]

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!

[Giles]

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...

New horsehide short shafts (also 666s):

[superfuzz]

Nice! Are those the ones that were on Viberg.com? I was really temped by those. That HH is going to age beautifully!

[Spring Son of Light]

Yes sir! I held out as long as I could. Then I sold stuff

[superfuzz]

How do they feel?

[Bluegrass]

I snagged a pair of the short shaft horsies too - nice score.  They are awesome - only issue I had was the back of the shafts hit me in an odd spot and rubbed some blisters - but that can be remedied with tall socks and time/callouses.

And Rocket, I like the red boots - really - including the soles.  You can pull it off.

[Spring Son of Light]

They do indeed feel awesome. I did sorta have to squeeze my 666s over them, but it works. They are making me feel the need for a 40s/50s style cut.

NIce looking short shift boots, photos makes me want one!

[seanocono]

Those short shaft HHs are ridiculously nice, SSoL. Congrats, man (and Bluegrass).
