Viberg

Those boots of Harakis are Red Wing Pecos.  Expect to see an altogether upgraded (Haraki interpretation) version of this style soon….

RW collab?
if so that would mean Viberg, Russell, and RW boot collabs in the works…

This almost sounds like an Iron Heart branded boot….?

[Giles]

No not a Red Wing collab.  I was quite careful how I phrased that post, but obviously left too much room for ambiguity…..

[jacoavlu]

makes sense
thanks for clarifying

[Giles]

oh OK feck it, it's a Viberg…..

[jacoavlu]

hmmmm, G with the loose tongue tonight…. maybe too much red.... wonder what else we could get out of him....

[barun]

please tell me it will be similar to this flat head collaboration…?

[madmonday]

i think jaco got you G, he knew it couldn't be a red wing collab. that company doesn't fit the criteria

i'll just watch this space . . .

[jacoavlu]

haha
you give too much credit
I'm not that crafty
Shoreman, yes
me, not hardly

these are too short to be good in real use, riding a bike. IMO. So good for sidewalk commandoes only.

Actually, I was stone cold sober.

As the samples are not that far from completion, this is the scoop.

Pull on western, vintage oil tan reverse out, round toe.  Doing 2 different sole/heel samples; white Vibram wedge and honey lug….

[madmonday]

sounds promising & worth the wait.

good job jaco 

[riffblaster general]

G, anymore hints you can give us…............ 8" or 11"? Can't wait to see the samples........

[Giles]

8 I think…..

[Chris]

Honey lug sole sounds nice.

[Giles]

Yes, Haraki has a penchant for the vibram wedge.  I don't.  That's why 2 samples are being made….

@Giles:

@TinMan:

I have also been looking at whites…. and I have looked at vibergs.  Never worn them but dying to try a pair of either.  I will probably end up with whites.... just because I can not wear D witdth shoes.  I have narrow feet B width, so my only option is to find a company that stocks B width or get custom made shoes.  I am savin my pennies.

@Geo:

man o man - they are the business

I was looking a custom Whites but the Viburg heel is better . . . great buy!

You like what we do with Viberg, we'll do whatever width you want as a special - no extra charge….......

Thanks G you the man…. now I am even more interested in this thread

I have to admit, I've always thought the wedge sole is… let's say, unappealing…  Classic lug soles are much nicer.
