    Ebay special–$280 to my door, should be in next week.

    Viberg Short shift--Seller claims they are NEW w/out box--Purchased direct from Viberg (Victoria BC).

    I am of course skeptical of the 'New' claim, and don't know if the style will work for me aesthetically, but at this $$$ I took a flier!  Seller "doesn't remember any details"--threw box away--about style (I surmised they're the "short shift") last or leather, and if his seller rating wasn't filled with other high end boots and leather jackets sold for "great" prices with 100% feed back I never would have bitten (esp international--Alberta).

    I'll update when they arrive and take better photos.
    This is the ebay photo...

          Those are awesome!  Are they the standard Boondocker before the mod?

              thanks

              they are actually before the boondocker model was a thing.

              closets image of the boot before:

              here's the label because viberg used to just send your boots in a huge plain box with no markings to indicate a mortgage payment was in the box

              brian did an outstanding job, the speedhooks & lace holes used to be brass color before the elements got to them and everything has held up pretty well

              the only drawback is they are heavy, i mean heavy like a diabetic uncle that is passed out on your couch after Thanksgiving dinner heavy

                I really dig those. I’ve been putting my “new to me” Viberg/IH service boots through the ringer and feel a new pair is up my alley - the heel just seems to fit me better than the Wesco I’ve tried have…

                    ^Heel on these definitely look to be a stack or so lower than typical Wescos.  Just a good looking, straight forward boot that you can kind of work into just about any kit.

                            Thanks Bryan - best thing about them is they get down and dirty very well, and clean right back up

                              Looking good Adam!

                              I have to admit I really do love Vibergs. I have a real soft spot for the 310 last.

                              G, I asked a long time ago  about any more Viberg collabs and someone (I think it may have been chris) told me there would be no more, just Wesco. Don’t get me wrong, I also love Wesco and have nothing but good things to say about them. However, any particular reason for no more IHxViberg collaborations?

                              You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

                                @Dstauffer:

                                Not to answer for Giles, but IHUK have a strong commitment to Wesco which I believe gives them distribution exclusivity in Europe. I guessing that exclusivity is a two way street.

                                  Right on, makes total sense. I do love me some Wescos!

                                        I’m curious about the slippers they just released. After ankle surgery it’s nice to walk around the house with shoes. Decisions decisions
