Viberg

[J Cosmo Asp]

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…

i already know i won`t be able to afford this at the moment

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

Rugged…wasn't that the word 

[Chris]

Bullhide is pretty damn rugged, actually.

Whether they're "hipster" or not, I don't know, but I'm fairly certain they're going to be tough boots.

Brett Viberg is making me a pair of those pull-ups right now with a single layer leather sole.
