@flannel-slut I look at some of them and I think that someone else would appreciate some of the stuff I no longer wear or haven't even really worn. What's the value in keeping something you don't use?

That's why I have like three or four pairs of black jeans and only two pairs of blue jeans. I just don't wear them. But that's a completely different rabbit hole.

@GardenState just FYI the 2040 has the lowest instep in the range, I don't see it mentioned enough.

[GardenState]

@Rococo Excellent! I love being able to move and be comfortable in my shoes.

Oh lord … give me strength ….

@Brandrea this one is also on my list, once and if available in Europe at any stage. I have a Viberg x Statement 310 Service Boot – Limited Special Make Up / Black Chromexcel that I love, but where I figured out that I have much less use for a black boot as compared to brown.. Not getting much use

[Brandrea]

@tobi I just looked at your post here a minute ago and I have to say the black looks amazing. I’d be wearing the heck out of that colorway lol.

I have the rowdy dachsunds in the 310 and I love them, but I always wanted the natural Chromexcel for their beautiful depth of color and patina potential! I’m having a hard time resisting these ….

@Brandrea Those are beautiful ~ you should get them so I can live vicariously through you I also like the 310 in Golden Brown Predator. I was thinking of driving down island to Viberg soon and seeing what they have in their showroom …

[GardenState]

@Brandrea If you compare it to Lofgren prices for natural chromexcel it's a steal. Do it!

[Brandrea]

@Denman-John I’m from Ontario and good thing, or I’d probably visit the showroom too often lol.

I did buy my 145’s there last summer when we were in Victoria. Awesome people there at Viberg,

[Brandrea]

@GardenState seriously?

I’ve never cross shopped brands, mainly because I know these boots work with my wonky feet (especially the 310’s).

I thought these were pretty pricey based on what I paid for my Rowdy Dachshunds a couple of years back …

[Mizmazzle]

@Brandrea those are lovely! Is that price in Canadian dollars?
I love a natty cxl for boot leather. Really ages super nicely. Plus the 310 style is so cool. I've found that as my 310s have aged, the blockiness has smoothed out some. They definitely get better and better as they age.

I looked at the Viberg site but didn't see these...

Edit: found em...$990usd

[Brandrea]

@Mizmazzle yep Canadian dollars … the exchange rate really sucks!

With tax I’m having a hard time justifying the purchase

[GardenState]

@Brandrea Yeah the pair I saw was roughly 1400 Canadian so just a touch more. Pretty in line with Viberg's prices as long as you don't go for an engineer. I think I was remembering these but that's not a fair comparison.

These coyote waxy commanders came in the mail today. First Vibergs and couldn’t be happier

[Brandrea]

Does anyone know if Viberg has ever done Natural Shell Cordovan’s in the 310’s … asking for a friend.

[Brandrea]

@ZackB congrats man!

[Denman John]

@ZackB Damn, those are some nice boots! I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t lusting after them as well. Nice score

[ZackB]

@Brandrea I would like to know for my friend as well. I always see the 2030 in shell

[ZackB]

@Denman-John thank you, I was looking at the tobacco waxy commander whites but saw these. Both are super beautiful but wanted to give Viberg a try.

[Mizmazzle]

@Brandrea that would be a killer make up!! I can't recall ever seeing a 310 in any form of shell...but that means very little in historical accuracy.
