Viberg

[Snowy]

My IHVB-03's doing what they were made for. They handle the real-world so well. Really very clear what they're geared to do.

In re shipping to Canada from the US - it was less customs stories and more high prices and very long transit times.

i dream of a service boot made on the work boot last
with all black horse hide
6 hole gun metal eyelets
natural midsole
and a vibram 700 sole
oh how a boy can dream
oh and pull tabs

[tod]

Amen brother, amen!  (Except I think I'd like 8 eyelets…)

Hi,

Just a quick question for all the Viberg experts, if I'm a UK size 10 to 10.5 in Barker & Loake shoes and boots, I take it I'm safe with a 10 or 10.5 in Viberg?

[Friday]

They are in UK sizes so I think you'll be fine

Contemplating selling mine to fund some home improvements, PM me if interested. Size 9.5UK

I take UK10 in Trickers and Jeffery West, and all 3 pairs of Viberg, (Engineer, Smoke Jumper and 50's Service boots) so you should be fine, although that depends on whether you need the additional width or length when you have 10.5 in your shoes.

model:  36 bobcat
upper:    tan teton suede (which is a rough out leather)
midsole: 10 iron leather
insole:    10 iron leather
outsole:  vibram 20121

at least two seasons of winter use

pardon all the images, but i just sent them to get resoled & wanted to make sure i have images of the before. . .

[Mild7]

Probably my favourite pair on this thread MM.  Fantastic.

[madmonday]

Thanks as there are some real gems in this thread. Here's a pair i tripped over & ended up taking home cause of a deep discount:

going to try to wear them as much as possible so i can get a resole before 2015, hahaahaha

on a serious note the black rough out is incredible stuff

[Seul]

What kind of resole you thinking?.. They're basically the same as mine, although mine have a Jersey touch: they're orange…

[riffblaster general]

those are beautiful monday

[Giles]

I can't concentrate on the beauty of a boots uppers when I'm wincing at the Christy…..

[mclaincausey]

I've had the same thing happen a lot. Unfortunately cap toes have the same effect on me.

Now you talk about it - notice how I have never enthused over a pair of cap toed boots/shoes….An unnecessary affectation imo....

[mclaincausey]

Right. And it and Christy are classic, so I feel weird about this hangup. The other night I was looking at some old us marines boots with the cap toe.

I mind a full brogue less for some reason. No explanation.
