Viberg Engineer Boot - Black

[Friday]

Copied this from goodwell-store.com (Japan)

Direct translation says it uses 'table leather' ??? anyway just for inspiration.

As for leather why not the oil taned cow leather that Burg&Schild used: http://on.fb.me/XO0ynR …

I'm into anything with some strength to it . I like cxl and have boots in it ad another being made but in a engineer I want something I can trash on. How's that oil tan for strength?

[demonito]

hi guys can i see a better picture of the oil tanned leather?

[demonito]

and have you guys tried on a pair of 1 heel lift ? did you know that it makes it more comfy for the boot?

[natehate]

For me I'm 6'3" I don't need any more height then I already have and I have angry feet so yeah regular is my preference . I think that may be something that doesn't need to be exact between every boot?
What does everyone think about the brown mid and 705 sole?

[demonito]

if anyone wants their midsole in brown. just use  brown shoe polish and or use neatsfoot oil to brown the midsole.

[natehate]

What about the sole choice?

[Friday]

Is this ok Demonito? Oil tanned from burg&schild.

[Giles]

OK people we are back to basics.  The spec has to be the same for each of the boots, otherwise Viberg will not make them.  I can accomodate a heel lift variance, but that's now the only change I can accept.  Sorry.  G

Edit.. I need black coffee..  ::)

[demonito]

yeah the black oil tanned is good buddy

[Giles]

I am getting swatches sent to me by Morgan…..

[natehate]

how many of us are in on this boot? just two?
and we need four right?

[Giles]

The only def I know at the moment is Demonito, and yes 4 required…..

[natehate]

I'm out . Sorry boys

[demonito]

@Giles:

OK.  I think this is where we are

BLACK LEATHER OIL TANNED LEATHER
STRAPS BE IN THICK OILED BLACK LEATHER
no pull tabs
no lining
Either standard height heel or  1 additional heel lift
vibram 435 sole
good year heel
single stitched welt
extra 1 inch lenght on top and bottom strap
310 last
single midsole

AND WHATS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS IS THAT I WILL SEND VIBERG VINTAGE ROLLER BUCKLES FOR US TO USE AND PUT ON THE BOOTS. IN BRASS MATTE FINISH  (that is Ed being generous)

So, we have confirmed Demonito (Ed) and Freeman….

That's Black CXL on the boot above. The Black Oil Tan is a good strong leather we use on our work boots. It's produced by Seidel Tanning Corp. in Milwaukee, WI. I'll be including a batch of leather samples for Giles' review along witht the order that's nearing completion. Stay tuned!
