    Thanks @derivative666 @mclaincausey @summ3rhays !

    And are there rather slow sellers on sale or also popular stuff? I'm on the fence e.g. for the Boondocker or the Service Boot Smoke Reverse Kudu which both might be popular enough to get off the shelves for regular prices…

    Is there a sample sale on a regular basis anyway?

    Sorry for asking noob questions but I just want to get a better understanding if it's worth waiting or if it's even necessary to hurry up before they are sold out in regular shops (similar to certain IH products).

      Never apologize for asking questions, we love to help people on here.

      Sample sales seem to occur randomly but in clusters. So, they'll announce they have a few coming up, and then they'll announce the few, and then they'll occur, and in some cases you get jammed up by their Web site not being able to handle the traffic. It's tough, Viberg is so popular now. The best way to know about them is to track online forums like this one or "the horse's mouth," Viberg's Instagram feed. Even if you're Johnny On the Spot you might still get iced out with or without the web site working properly under scale.

      Think it, be it.

          Thanks again, @mclaincausey ! Sounds like big potential in both directions.

          @derivative666:

          @mental floss what size boot are you?

            You never know.  I've seem what I consider to be very popular styles.  They definitely go faster though.

              @mental floss The sample sale is stressful, but if the force is with you, it's definitely worth the effort imo (having said that I'm a size 12 and had no success on my 1st and only try).  Like summ3hays says, preparation is key - know your size (prob. a 10 in viberg if you are 10.5 in red wing), what last you are interested in, and be johnny on the spot when it launches.  And I also agree with mclain, they will usually talk up upcoming releases, boots going to their preferred retailers, and things like sample sales on instagram.

                Talking about the sample sale from the last round, I could've swore viberg said it was a 3 part. And only two parts happened? Or I'm crazy

                    My pair from the sample sale. They are about a year and a half old now. I wasn't sure about two toned boots, but I've really grown to love them.

                      @mental floss I own the reverse kudu smoke boots and I highly recommend them. The most buttery and dense leather I've handled (wearing mine today). There is a third sample sale coming at some point, but Guy told me things have been crazy and they haven't been able to set it up yet. It's a real crap shoot. If you really want a pair of Vibergs, just buy them direct. The sample sales have SOME cool options but as others have noted, they can have some glaring defects or - in the case of the pair I wanted to buy - they have been previously worn!

                      Boondocks are cool too - but I like the uniqueness of the kudu, especially in that color. You won't be disappointed (and if you're a 10.5 in Red Wing, unless you have a super wide foot I'm pretty sure you're a 10 in Viberg).

                      In case you need some help deciding 🙂

                          Amazing boots! I already liked the pics from some pages before a lot where they look rather blueish. Now the color seems to be lighter than on the website. I wonder which is closest to reality.

                          Nice socks btw!  🙂

                            Thanks! I would say the boots only look bluish in photos. They're really a light grey. Smokey even.

                              I LOVE those kudus - want so bad - but must resist.  Too many boots.  But those are top of my list "if" I was going to grab another pair.  @Spring Son of Light you are a fortunate man!

                                Toying with the boondockers but everywhere seems to be sold out in my size. May get the service boot as an alternative. I am a an 8 - 8.5 in a barrie last, is it the same size on the service boot and boondocks?
