Roller buckle.

@superfuzz:

Viberg can do a narrow shaft. I would definitely be into that.

G, what is the price on these?

Once Haraki have decided on the spec, no changes can happen other than size.

I do not know price yet

[Giles]

This is happening, H and i just batting the specs back and forth…

[Snowy]

you're really testing my self control now

Is the toe on the pictured example reinforced? That would be the only thing that I see is its a bit bulbous… But that's more opinion and preference. It does look a bit more so than what I'm used to seeing from viberg so thought it might have a celastic toe

Current thoughts….

Strap aside right?  That's not the length I thought was specified previously…

I also thought Vibes were triple-stitched uppers.

[Giles]

If I get my way, it will have no toe reinforcement…..

[tatmantall]

Good deal. That's the way me likes

[babyknight]

love the photo - i think i will get in on these

Thanks, G. I just meant that a narrow shaft is a possible spec for the boot. I think that the engineers Viberg makes for the Japanese market have a narrowed shaft. I could be wrong about that tho.

Also, my vote goes for a leather sole. I think it looks much sleeker, especially without toe reinforcement. Just my two cents. However it comes out, looks like a beautiful boot.

SF. I understand that this is a Viberg option.  But it is not a Viberg/IH option.  I have to come up with a build and thereafter, the only thing I can change is the size…

[superfuzz]

Thanks G, I understand. Let us know when you have an idea on price so I can figure out if I have the funds for this.

[Giles]

Best I can estimate at the moment is USD850 - 900

[superfuzz]

Thanks G. One last question, do you have an idea of what size I would need. I'm a 7.5D in Alden Truebalance last, Red Wing, and Mister Freedom Road Champs, all of which fit fine with thick socks. What size do you think I'd be in this Viberg last?

[Giles]

I would say 7D

Thanks G. Looks like a great boot. I'm going to have to find a second job!
