      Really? At $750 you thought these would be ghosts by now? It's a hefty price and I am sure people are partly holding back because we want to hear a bit more about how these wear from someone ballsy enough to cop.

        I really did think that people would just go nuts over these and disregard the price tag… But then I'm really new around here and I do not know that much about what sells fast and what not. What you said makes complete sense and I hope they still sell well enough to justify further collabs like this.

          Ugh, I'm going to start calling my inner editor madmonday. (He won't be happy I brought up price.) However, I feel as though certain situations qualify for a polite discussion involving figures of such a nature. That being said, I still seriously contemplate pulling the trigger on these every day. And I know I will be disappointed come the day my size sells out.

            just think of everything that must be involved from point zero to boot on your foot
            there was at one point in time a water buffalo walking this earth and now that hide is on this boot
            that's pretty fucking crazy

            cotton is planted and eventually denim is woven by artisans on a vintage shuttle loom in japan
            and that denim is married to water buffalo and calf hides and all sorts of other materials to make a boot

            each boot is made by an 80 year old family business in canada

            the design is a collaborative effort between multiple peoples, each of whom has to earn a living

            the materials must be carried over oceans from supplier to maker
            and finished boots must be carried over oceans again to seller
            and again (sometimes) to reach buyer

            it's really all pretty fucking insane
            and all you gotta do is drop a little cash and shit is on your feet
            price ain't all that bad once you think about it
            jeans are really child's play when you compare to such an item

              When are yours supposed to arrive?

              I agree with what you're saying, though. They look awesome and the details only add to the intrigue and allure.

                nah they're not for me
                but not because of the price

                I respect the hell out of the process though

                  Well hello, Vibergs.

                  Mine arrived today.  I must confess that I was really on the fence about buying these.  The style is quite different from the type of boot that I normally wear, particularly the wedge style sole.  That said…

                  1.  the moment you take them out of the box:  WOW.  the quality is like nothing else

                  2.  the details.  just amazing

                  3.  the comfort... have only walked around my apartment a bit with them and obviously they need some breaking in, but the sole is incredibly comfortable

                  4.  the feeling you get when you wear them.  you know they're something special.

                  I had wanted something I could put on everytime I go out without really thinking, knowing that they would go with a variety of styles and knowing they would be comfortable and durable for various conditions.  They check every box.

                  A note on sizing:  I went for 8.5 which seems right.  I take 9.5 in running shoes (Nike/New Balance), 9 in most other shoes and 8.5 in pull-on boots.  I would recommend sizing down for these.

                    babyknight, damn you! I knew this moment would arrive sooner than later. I really have been trying to avoid this thread all together. Saw that you posted and had a feeling. Anyhow, if/ when the Superblack versions come out, I may take the plunge. Enjoy them and I hope to see them walking around this Winter!

                              Is that Lando having taken the plunge?

                              Hahaha, no. Waiting on something Green in the mail right now but we will see…. That is Haraki-San holding a pair and sharing some close-ups with us via Bss Talk: http://shin3155.blog54.fc2.com/

                                      I can't seem to take myself away from these boots. Screw it, if I sell some stuff–and my size is still available come that time--I'm going in for the Super Black's.

                                          Those are the superblack sample that  Viberg made with the incorrect sole.  A new pair with the correct sole os being made as I type….
