I'm posting in the Viberg thread on behalf of @Black Orchid regarding her new Viberg Engineer Boots in Black Horsehide, Vibram 700 Sole, Box Toe, 310 Last, size 6D, courtesy of @FOXY.
Posting a few pics for our collective enjoyment. I reckon they make a great combination

Kuul Boots @Finkster nice
Very nice @Black OrchidThese are my pretty worn and still in Great condition horsebutts for VMC 25th anni in Sept 2011. the only viberg engineers built on the 2030 last including a very very narrow toe. Extremely rare and beautiful. Unfortunately my feet cant pull em off any more, they served me so well in all these years now but i think i will let em go…aargh in the marketplace soon size 8

Gorgeous @davito shame you can't wear them anymore… Any reason why?

My feet got sensitive over the years and I worn These pretty Hardcore in rain, snow and mud always reliable they are indestroyable, so in fact although these are tagged UK8 they feel now like a very tight US8 due to the molding and shaping. I can wear em with thin socks but its a struggle somehow especially in warmer weather as i like wearing Boots the whole year
@Black Orchid Thank you ma'am -
Thanks @davito that's kind of what I thought… Feet are sensitive things [emoji57]

I swear my feet have gotten bigger over the years - I blame it on gravity…
Sad to say @Bluegrass that's exactly right re feet getting larger with age.. and gravity= oy.

Hahaha! Reptilian Steeze
Bison__ 'thought they were albino boa leather @1st glance
= texture x yellow/olive-greenish shades
'Wasn't really sure if I can pull it off [70s retro vibe, ie], but I really liked the uniqueness of the make up & noticed how well they were made__ upon close inspection.Snagging a pair of a limited prod'n/MTO service boots make up that appeals to me will always be out there, but [these] will never be made, ever.
'Been wearing them a lot lately … 'Seems to go well w/ more repro cuts, IMO ... will post waywt when able

Shameless Plug:
I don't usually do [this], but I'm so excited & I'll just explode if I hold it in any longer
Styleforum is currently conducting a Viberg GMTO__ an activity FOK does 2-3x a year. This round he's going to have a very interesting Engineer Tobacco Chamois on 2005 x Cat's Paw heels+half soles, called the HOPPER on the pre-sale block.
The highlight of this fab make up is leather itself. Nice weight for an engineer's__ similar thickness & density as Horween CXL used by Viberg w/ less stretch factor, as per FOK.
I've been more of a lace-up kinda guy … just cuz I like the feeling of being comfortably snug&secured down there ... Plus, I don't think I got steeze to pull off an engineer's
FOK had quite a few unique, tastefully stylish make-ups, to date, eg, [personal fave] "Tan Bison Scout" on white Mini Ripple soles__ too bad they were on 2030 last, w/c is too sleek for my fEEt.
Thankfully, comes the HOPPER! I don't want to regret passing up this fabulous make up, so I'm putting my money where my mouth is ….. Pre-sale will commence sometime next week. Will keep you guys posted__ if interested.
Here's a mock-up of the HOPPER make up proposed by StickyDonk:

Those sound pretty damn interesting

Just looked over at Styleforum, and the Hopper is being built. So you might want to keep an eye on the Styleforum marketplace over the next few days.
I've got a pair of the Bison scouts on the ripple sole. I like the boots, but the 2030 last is a bit narrow for me, and the elongated toe doesn't suit my size 13 feet.

This particular make up is just hard to resist.
Nowadays, just having a pair of 'bergs is not enough anymore__ it has to be unique= less commonI've got a pair of the Bison scouts on the ripple sole. I like the boots, but the 2030 last is a bit narrow for me, and the elongated toe doesn't suit my size 13 feet.
Yeah, voted for them to be on 2045 or 110 cuz 2030 is too narrow for my fEEt
2005, however, is a boot last__ a bit more forgiving= more room @vamp__ my Loden Green Service Boots are on 2005 & they're comfy
