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…...
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)... -

I know you weren't sure about the heel on those, but damn, they look nice, FOXY.

that is a boot i would be proud to put on. i would name them Cinnamon. the sole is a great touch & really compliments the color choice. never saw a pair with the viberg stamp at that location.
not like i've seen many pairs. . .

just took another look at these boots & i noticed they are co-branded (iron heart X viberg)
i'll continue to watch this space. . .
