      Is it possible to order something for the Viberg 301 last, like these: (http://onlinevintageinfo.blogspot.com/2011/11/horsehide-viberg-service-boots.html) ?

        if you're tryin to get horsehide boots from viberg, good luck. You can email brett or even try to go through giles or a viberg retailer, but I think you'll find it difficult if near impossible to get it done

          Ok, thanks. Disappointing.

              Appalling. Viberg have tarnished their reputation badly there?

                yep but hardly matters, they're doing so much business with japan, and the custom makeups with the various shops

                I think you can still call them up and get a custom boot made, there certainly will be a wait, I think it's really the horse that is pretty much impossible to get them to do custom

                  Sadly, you are probably correct. I'm actually not to bothered about horse-hide, it's the square toe of the service boot I like. Do you know if they can do it in an alternative leather, e.g., Chrome Excel by Horoween, or does the 301 last only work with the horse hide leather?

                    I would guess they could do almost any leather, but you'd have to ask them. I would email Brett and if you get no response, maybe contact Giles

                          Chrome Excel, 310 last, as army or service boot - no problem.
                          Getting a feedback from Viberg might be a problem…go through an established dealer or retailer like Ultrasoundboots or Giles.
                          HH as a single custom job - unlikely.

                          Current wait time: +12 weeks...

                                Roughout collects stains and dirt like no other, it's just something you'll have to live with.

                                And as fate has it, I dropped a healthy dose of mayo on the other boot when I was eating a burger. I guess I had that coming. One ugly ass stain right in the middle of the upper part of the toebox. I'll do my best to get it out.

                                AIAN HA-TO!

                                  Read up on how to treat mayo stains. No kidding: the internet is brilliant like that. Just don't follow up on the advice if they recommend treating it with a Bunsenbrander.

                                    Got most of it out with a random sneaker cleaner foam-thing. Phew. Seul, I never search the internet for useful stuff :).

                                          Good luck, give em your best. Vbergs are pretty tough, I think you will be pleasantly surprised in your attempts to "trash" them, you just might find your only bringing out their true calling in life. Please keep us posted.

                                            I've done almost everything to my IHV-01's and I swear I could take 5mins to clean them up and you would think I'd only had them a week.

                                            So yes, good luck, as Z said.  😉
