Viberg

I really don't need another pair of boots, but IH/Viberg? I feel my wallet opening already…

pretty much this, exactly

Ahh, Viberg.  Famous for the toughest corked logging boots.  Water Buffalo corks with the sole ringed by tricounis.  Any self-respecting chaser or landing man's dream boot.  I regret that there's only one manufacturer of logging boots left that hand-nails corks into double oak soles, but my timber falling days are long gone, so it's hard to part with $600 for something that becomes an instant museum piece.  I've already got enough head-scratching stuff that will one day need to be disposed of…

those black boots look too hip. Maybe for some trendy hipster, but definately not my cup of coffee.

Rugged…wasn't that the word
