      @monday:

      those are a unique make-up if i ever saw one.

      i like them alot & i'm not ordainarily into that contoured heel, somehow it matches that make-up.

      great pick-up Foxy.
      ….

      Funny that you mentioned the heel - I did ask for a blocked 90 degrees heel - like my first MTO's because I'm also not too much into the curved, contoured or Cuban heel…

      I guess tomorrow we'll know for sure - can't say that I would mind the curved heel at the prospect of waiting another freaking 12 weeks!

      weird quoting myself, yawn.  yeah i like the heel. it goes with the make-up of the boot to me. . . but of course i have no idea how it would look with a block heel or my favorite heel the Vibram #132 aka "honey Vibram" sole

        Apparently, Viberg has changed their strategy for MTO Army and Service boots: no more blocked, straight heel option.

        My gut feeling is that you are being bullshitted…...

            I just came across these and I almost fell off my chair.  Possibly the coolest boot I've ever come across…

              They had a few more pics of Nigel Cabourn's assistant (or so) wearing those with some strange pants…
              Yeah, these wing tips are outstanding - tried to MTO in the past, but no success so far.

                Foxy, who do you order your Vibergs through?

                I think these are the horsehide version of the tan ones that you have.  Personally, this is the boot that I would like to see with an Iron Heart logo on the side

                    UltraSoundBoots in HK - nice guys - price point around 450€ (incl. VIP discount) as I pay local taxes only and pick up directly - expect 12 weeks for MTO with Viberg.

                    I have the Army Boot - the above picture shows the Service Boot - same last, minor details differ.

                    Regarding HH:
                    This is difficult outside Japan. You can or used to be able to order some HH Vibergs through Rakuten as some shops did get smaller batches of MTOs - price point: +1000€…
                    On SuFu Ed is currently organizing a group buy with Viberg using TFH HH - it seems that Viberg has accepted the orders and is currently processing the orders - no individual order confirmation yet - price point +650$...

                      just send an email to Viberg & Brett:

                      Dear Viberg,

                      I just picked up my second Viberg Army Boot MTO from Ultrasoundboots in HK.
                      The boots is fine, but, sadly, I had to notice that they where not to my specification (straight, blocked heel) made 12 weeks earlier.
                      When I asked Ultrasoundboots about it they told me that they have been advised that in according with a new model policy/strategy service and army boots will only come with curved heel.
                      Can you confirm this and explain why I or Ultrasoundboots could not be informed about this change within the given 12 weeks?
                      All in all, I noticed that the received boot differs in 3 points from the placed order: blocked heel, brass hardware, rubber sole.

                      I hope to hear back from you soon,
                      ….

                      let's see if and what comes back.

                        Fast reply from Brett:
                        ….
                        thank you for your email. I will talk with ... as per your order specs.

                        I am not sure of the exact reasons behind why the non 90 degree heel, all I know is this isn't something we have done in the past or plan to do in the future, I will have to talk to the factory to find out why.
                        ...
                        If there is a huge issue with the boots you can return them, and we can give you your money back. But we have no interest in making a block heel service boot for you, since it's not something that we have ever offered, I think we might have made one or two pair before, but it's something my dad doesn't like to do, from a production point of view.

                        Like I said, I will talk to ... and sort this out and either of us will get back to you shortly.

                        Thanks,
                        ...

                        This does clarify Viberg's point of view.
                        I guess I'm the lucky owner a pair of Viberg's with straigh heels (my first MTO)...
