Thanks for the advice. I'm due to visit a friend over there in the new year, could save myself some postage…

Overdyed boots anyone?

nice idea, but not a fan.

done better by the folks at oakstreet bootmakers.

The side zipper ruins it for me… as does the ridiculous price tag haha

Plus, I can't decide if I like the Glaxi-cut soles... they remind me of a Nike training boot.

It reminds me of some high end fashion boots trying to be punk rock.

But that's what I love about the garment industry. What I love, not everyone else will - and what others think is amazing and worth every penny, dosnt always do it for me.

I'll be excited for whoever is able to get a pair of these and would love the follow the breakin process.

meh - not a fan of this - I love Viberg but this looks like something John Varvatos would try to pull off… and I love blue boots, but this "dipping" thing didn't work for me personally.

I was feeling Dries Van Noten  or Christophe Van Ashe with the zip [emoji850]

I'm both surprised and embarrassed I know who those designers were haha

Ha! Good point! Sometimes people just know things… to know what you like you like, you kinda have to know what you don't like....

Not a fan of the thin laces, as well as most other things mentioned above.

Also not a fan.  I have a pretty strong dislike of zippers on shoes in general and this sole looks a bit too much like a Nike/Cole Haan lunar sole.  The indigo dying is definitely cool though.

Anyone shed any light on the whole cut hiker on Mr Porter's site being 'made in the uk'… ?

I'm thinking it is a typo….

^This.  To my knowledge the leather is USA the boots are Canada like all the others.

Kudu stitchdown is killer.  If I could fit in a 2030, I would try to get a pair.  Wide feet and Viberg don't mix.  I doubt kudu will ever appear in a 110 or 2040…

Not my cup of tea but good price..

After a year of wear, got around to treating these. Really happy with how it turned out, it's almost like I got a new pair of boots.

I liked the original roughout look, but really like how they look now. Excited to see how they evolve from here.

Bottom pic is the the stock photo from Viberg as I never took an original pic of these boots.

@dstauffer
I like the look too.  What did you treat them with?

I used a treatment made by Baker's boots, I am sure its identical to any number of standard leather treatments. I did two coats on this pair.
