Viberg

Service Boot, in a slightly modified pattern, and made from unglazed Sell Cordovan. They're going up for sale at Viberg.com on Friday, and will probably be sold out in a matter of seconds.
I'd be tempted, but the boot is on the 2030 last. I don't entirely get on with this, and the elongated toe lengthens my feet. I'm already a size 13 in their boots, and the extra inch or so it adds isn't necessarily a good look.

Too dressy for my tastes personally. The unglazed shell looks nice, would be a good looking workboot!
Clearly well made but I'm with Broak - a bit too dressy for my tastes

Got these today. First Viberg's. This forum is crushing my wallet.

Dug out my natural ones .

First pair of engineer boots, Viberg Hopper made with aged bark leather.
These were part of a GMTO through Styleforum and they came out very nicely.
I went with a size 12, the right boot is a little big but I think it will settle with some wear.
Glad to finally have a pair of engineer boots, perfect timing for the fall!

Well done Broark . Sharp as hell mate .

I am sure some of you guys are aware, but for anyone who's not, there is a GMTO underway over on the Styleforum Viberg board. (Assume it's okay to post this here..? If not, feel free to take down.) The main build being discussed is the "Millwright Boot." It will look like this pic, but with lighter "Crust" cxl (tanned, but not dyed or finished, so fairly matte in apearance).

Having an acronymbolism. Whats GMTO?
-
Group Made To Order.
Multiple buyers purchase a special build. Minimum varies, depending on manufacturer, but usually about six to ten pairs.

Cared for my vibergs.

Why do the viberg 8 inch engineer boots have what looks like a nicole plateted rivet behind all the buckles,also do they or any one else replace staps they look to short on the viberg engineers.

Those look really nice @Engineer. I keep on thinking of excuses not to get a pair… :o
@Graeme I think I've owned 9 pairs of Vibergs over the last couple of years. I currently own two pairs, both of which are 2040 derby boots. I had fit/comfort issues with all of the other boots. In my opinion, the derby boots are Viberg's dark-horse, so to speak. The 2040 last works really well with my feet, since I have narrow heels and a wide forefoot.
Some people think the 2040 last is shapeless and "blobby," but they're still better looking than a majority of casual boots. I think you'd be very satisfied with them, as long as the fit is good. I wear a Viberg 9, and I'm a 9.5 US on the brannock.
