Viberg Engineer Boot - Brown CXL

[joesaintjohn]

Man, I may hop on this bandwagon. I really dig these.

[tmg]

Ok, I've had a glass of wine and thought about this enough now…..count me in for a pair please G

^Ha, I've really been mulling this one over too. I never thought I'd be in to an engineer, but I love this spec.

G, I contacted Jason to see if this can be done in a 14 UK. If all goes well, you  have 2/3.

*Also, my opinion is the boots are perfect as is. No need to mess with them.

@Giles:

All toes will need to be the same…..

Start hacking away, boys…

Seul, just got this. Nice work.

Any chance to change the strap longer and use brown cxl for contrast?

@injunjack:

may I ask a question, even though I'm not getting these?

Why 9", and not 11" which is more preferrable in engineer boot?

Preference is a personal thing.  If people want to go 11" then we can.  But when all said and done, all boots must be the same.

And Friday, same applies - all toes will need to be the same…..

Sure. I was again thinking inside my own box. As a biker. While riding a motocycle, ones legs of the jeans rise up, and 9" bootshaft starts to feel a bit short. Especially when boots are worn in and botshafts have creases in them, which can lower the shaft a whole inch easily.  (of course if you're stacking your jeans and wear them, like,  5" too long then it's no issue )
If one is not riding, then the 9 incher might be just fine.

Sean.  Morgan replied to me.  as such:

Depending on what leather you'd like to use, we can do a Size 14 Engineer Boot. Chrome Excel, for instance, would be fine. We wouldn't be able to do a turned up toe, or 310 Last, however. The additional charge is $12.00.
So there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

If I needed a pair of engineer boots right now these would be it. Stunning!
