I did, but I'm in the US.  Ordered the shell service boot as well.

Saw those abominations a few days ago. Definitely not my style

[Snowy]

Shark has officially been jumped

[Seul]

My thoughts exactly…

[JamesMarg]

For 800…???
That is a seriously ridiculous price for a seriously ridiculous pair of boots....

Unpopular opinion?

[Snowy]

only 10 made in total, so not so bad

[davito]

I think they are great and I would wear em thats some nice leather there btw

[JamesMarg]

Exclusivity does not interest me…
So i'm probably biased.

Hideous

^Yikes.  Agreed.  Papa Viberg can't be excited about those!

Ha, I'd love to hear his comments on them.

@davito, I agree the underlying leather looks amazing, in the small areas is shows through….

[Jestre]

It is amazing how much "work" goes into making a pair of boots look like you painted a house in them.  Or, y'know, you could do some actual work in your boots.  The mind boggles.

[Chris]

I'm just happy the last pair is in my size…

Here's this announcement on Styleforum.  End of an era…

"Hey everyone,

I wanted to let you all know directly that we will no longer be taking orders for single pair custom make ups. We hinted a while back that MTO might be coming to an end and we've officially hit the point where we can no longer offer it. This is happening for a couple of reasons, but essentially it boils down to inefficiency. The custom orders take up far too many man hours and consistently slow down the workflow in the factory. We will continue to expand our wholesale network in 2014 as well as our offerings on Viberg.com, so hopefully the end result is that it's easier to get your hands on a pair of our boots.

We plan to offer MTO events in various locations in the future which will give people a limited opportunity to build something special. We're also happy to work directly with you on a custom pair if you can somehow make it to the factory in Victoria where we can go over materials and fit in person. Forum members also have a tremendous opportunity with what Fok is doing on the Marketplace.

Anyone who is currently in the midst of an MTO boot will continue corresponding with Morgan, but the mto@viberg.com email address will be terminated in a few days. If anyone has any further questions about this or anything else, please contact us anytime at info@viberg.com. I know this might be disappointing news for some customers, but i can assure you it's a big and necessary step in the right direction for us as a company.

Thanks,
Guy"
