Can anyone ID these for me please?

[IsaakM]

looks like there is a " VI…" stamped on there, - so I'll guess that they're some custom variant of Viberg Engineers

[barun]

Well done Isaak, I didn't see that VI until you mentioned it.  Thanks

Geo: Hell yeah! that is a bad ass boot

triple sole mofo

btw impressed with your whites - said it before - a match for viberg

[barun]

Thanks man.  I have never seen a pair of Vibergs in person (that I know of) but I can't imagine how a boot could be anymore well made than these Whites.

They are on the same level IMO. My local dealer represents Viberg, White's, Dayton, and WESCO and made me try them all before I got to decide to order my first Viberg's. I can't comment on comfort over long periods of daily use with the other brands, but build quality, construction, leathers and MTO options between these brands are very close and it was purely down to aesthetics (in my case) to go for a specific last and toe box shape that made me choose one brand over the other…

That's a lot of cheddar to drop on some boots but if ever a boot was worth it…

check out Lee Miller's gallery, slowly, going through each type of skin, drool. Now that's what I call BOOTS!

then after you come back to earth, be aware that there is a 3 year wait for a pair and, worse, that he does not take new customers at the moment. Fucking insane…

actually, after day No. 1, no. They're still stiff as hell and I need to use the pull strips to get them on and a shoe puller to get them off
