Viberg

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

@Giles:

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

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.
