Yeah I wanna see the black horses too

Here's How To Upload Pics to the Forum.  Hope that helps, 'cause I want to see Viberg horse hide boots, too.

I am going to try one pic, and if it works I will do more:

Looks like it didn't work….

Sorry bout that.  Followed the directions, and I uploaded my pics to Photobucket, but I guess I am not getting "the image url"... Figured that was the "http" address, but maybe it is something else.

I am not a complete computer idiot, but for some reason this particular task has been stumping me. If I could upload directly from my computer I'd be okay.

Great!  I will post a few more later…

These were the first pair of Vibergs I ever held in person, and when they came out of the box I actually started laughing at how well-built and beautiful they were.  Just a cut above every other boot I have seen (which are quite a few).

[natehate]

not gonna lie that boot got me a bit excited hahaha

[tod]

I'll post a few more here.  It's a 1950 Service Boot, 310 Last, Cat's Paw heel and leather sole.  Pics are from right after I got them. I've worn them a handful of times since, and they are now at the cobbler getting a rubber half sole on.  (I couldn't hang with the leather sole, though it looked cool for sure.)

These are a very cool pair of boots.  But I happen to know that there is another member of the forum who should soon be getting a pair of Brown HH that are perhaps even cooler…  Hopefully we will see those before too long....

This post was supposed to have more pics, which for some reason didn't come through.  Sorry about that.

Awesome boots! … In a few months (I hope so ^^) I will catch a pair in brown with Dainite Sole in the same style.
Meanwhile I swim in Red Wings and it's time for me to climb another level.

I'm thinking of ordering a pair of boondockers, this might be a stupid question but what's the best way to place an order?

Hoping to get some help regarding the soles on these Viberg.
I am building a boot with Viberg and have troubles choosing sole. REally like the look on this, but can't figure out what they have used.

^ the brown or the black ones?

[Chris]

Marco-  best would probably be to contact Viberg directly.

Twometer- hard to say from those pics, but I'd guess either the Dainite or commando sole.

[davito]

Twometer they describe it as wooden sole, i assume leather sole with cats paw heel. Best is you ask on the blog directly

Yeah, pretty sure the brown is a double leather sole, which would be very stiff and seem sort of "wooden."  The black might be a Vibram 269, which i know Viberg uses.

[twometer]

Thank you all for the replies!
Have been in contact with Viberg regarding the black one, and the answer was:

That's the Black Chromexcel with either a Vibram 700 or 430 Sole. You could use a Cat's Paw Heel on either of these soles too. It is possible the Vibram 269 Sole, which is slightlier dressier and referred to as their Western Sole but it could also work with the Cat's Paw Heel.

Will ask on blog as well.

[Finn666]

the black boot should definitely have the vibram 269 sole on it imo…

check this pic, same side profile:

I wouldn't trust the blog for a good answer.  "Wooden soles" screams uninformed…

[twometer]

Alright looking for more guidiance, maybe I have not searched properly, but was hoping for forum input on the

Dainite sole vs the 269 vibram
Dainite sole vs the 705 vibram

Durability, comfortable and so forth.
