Viberg

[Snowy]

D666, MM, I'd say I lack most of a sense of humor, but sometimes find an ouch behind a couch or something :o

thanks @Graeme that's the one

they are getting better & better.  they have a way of getting into a certain last & then running with it for a few months, or maybe it's me. fingers crossed I will see these or something close for sale on the local market soon . . .

Those look a little Wolverine White Pine-ish

I'm on the other side, I think Viberg desperately needs a designer and that they miss far more than they hit.

[madmonday]

see what you mean Bags. they check almost all the boxes for me.

only complaints are the toebox looking slightly turned up & the lack of the pull at the rear of the boot.

I agree with mclain. A lot of times it seems the boots have the wrong sole (like the boondockers with leather soles) or just look off. For that kind of money I'd want something perfect.

The way I look at it: Just look at the Bootery's builds. Pretty much every single one of them is better IMO than almost all of designs I've seen from Viberg in some time. Their take on an Edward Green Galway for example is pretty damn ghetto looking IMO: Viberg shouldn't look like a "poor man's" anything. My favorite I've seen on their Web site (non-collab) is this gem.

Anyone who makes a pair of boots like these, gets unlimited credit from me…

^^Not a fan actually, to each his own. Their biggest mistake was ditching MTO.

I have the color 8 CXL service boots and they are the nicest looking boots I have ever had

Not a fan of perf cap toes on boots or dianite soles, but as Mc said to each his own.

@Finn666:

@madmonday:

Anybody have images of the Service boot with the cork sole?

here you go @madmonday …took this one from their IG account:

looks like a great make-up to me! nice…

thanks finn.  great looking boot & I just wanted it on this page.  the Viberg backlash for lack of a better term is funny 2 me. what G$ like 2 say, "if u no like, no buy" or something close 2 that. i concede fuzz  that sometimes things r off, but usually good things come from giving new "things" a try.  it's always easy 2 take the easy route, it's just with the internet we all tend to notice what companies are doing more than ever before.

well at least i do.  5 or 10 years ago if you told me i would be looking at collections of boots & denim I would of laughed at you . . .

@madmonday:

Exfeckinxactly - no one (to my almost certain knowledge) is forcing any of us to buy anything. And how effing boring would the world be if we all liked the same thing…..Celebrate diversity...

I have Vibergs, I'm certainly not shooting spitballs at them from the back of the room. I'm frustrated by their designs because they make some of the best shoes in their price bracket. I'd love it if they made something I'd buy, and I am just expressing that I don't think Brett Viberg is a very good footwear designer.

[superfuzz]

I totally agree Mad and G. Just putting in my two cents about why I've never pulled the trigger on a pair or Vibergs.

And I was not trying to point the finger at anyone in particular.

You hurt my feelings, G.

^^ This.. And they are appreciated..

Those shell Viberg boots that Finn has are a work of art IMO, even if they have a dianite sole (not sure).
