Viberg - January 2014 Special Orders
-
^No need to apologize, Scotty. I wasn't offended in the slightest. Thanks for the kind words, and I agree with you. It's incredibly difficult to get four people to spec the same build.
It was worth a shot, and I'm glad I tried it. I might not be able to own a Viberg service boot, but because of Giles and Iron Heart I'll at least get to try out the Hiker and the Wild Ones. I'm grateful for that.

i honestly believe they just refer to it as the work boot last or something similar
if you scan threw the viberg thread you should be able to find my build
i believe i just copy and pasted what i ordered from the emails to here
heres a pic the day i got them
the toes not overly aggressive looking like the 310
but not flat and girly either
i think it's vibergs most under used lastIt looks a lot like the 2045 last. 2045 is a slightly adapted (just a little more bump in the toe (from Brett Viberg)) Munson Last. Munson is a very famous military boot last. Thoroughly proven and tested.
Personally, myself I see why it was so popular for Military use having spent 17 years in a specific infantry type role, we/I walked for days on end in boots and I'm not talking fancy hiking boots. The 2045 you could do the same thing.

Unfortunately, the Service Boot in the first pic is Cordovan, so the leather would be different. I am looking into what other options Viberg offers.
Expressing your interest in this thread is enough. I will compile names and PM you when the time comes. Thanks, SSoL.
The leather in the second pic is Shinki Horse Hide mate. Polishes beautiful! You could spit polish them!
But I've been trying to let them dull a little, confident they'll shine easy if I need to hit the dance floor

Bummer…

When or if this thread closes, I just want to add one thing if anyone wants to msg me. I would love a pair of 10 hole service boots on #8 CXL or Shell on the new revised 2030 (rounder toe) or 2040 lasts. Partially Structured toe on new 2030 or 2040, or unstructured on 2045. Toe cap, natural mid sole Dainite sole. If anyone's keen we can ramp it on Styleforum. Peace out homies!!

I have absolutely nothing against SF group orders, but I find it a bit strange if Viberg will allow SF to still offer 4 people group buys from now on. Especially as Giles has been kind enough to arrange group orders for a lot longer than SF and for a price that is way cheaper for European customers (because of customs/taxes).
-
Strange indeed. But 2 days ago I was told by Viberg SF is still a green light

I realise this thread is dead… and I haven't been around for a while. Good idea, and these kind of initiatives should be praised. I guess if if been I'd had the chance to provide input earlier I would have opted for a bulk purchase of a very standard build. Maybe a small detail to call it an IH Forum boot (e.g. brass eyelets or something) but all other details need to readily available. Keeps the maker on side, and allows more members to get in on the action...
