@Kasi I’ve got a pair of the Viberg Pachena Bays. Very similar to the hikers. Love them.
Any reason you went with the Pachena Bays over the hikers if that was the case?

I can’t say enough good things about these boots. I’ve been wearing them daily for the past month here in Nepal and am so happy that I brought them. They have great traction on the trails with the Commando Sole and are very comfortable to wear all day. I am also pleased on how they are beginning to patina and are starting to show some character. 3 months old.
-
@Denman-John They look awsome.
-
@Denman-John those are well traveled.
-
@GardenState not sure if you pulled the trigger yet on the 2040’s but they are my favorite last from Viberg in that it accommodates a wide toe box well. They appear nearly identical to the 2030s but if you are an E width or wider, strongly recommended the 2040 last over the 2030s.

@flannel-slut I'm going to pull the trigger soon. I like the two darker waxed leathers they have available. I'm an e width so yeah the 2040 looks more accommodating and comfort really is more important than a sleek appearance. I have a few boots I'm going to unload before I purchase these though.
Thanks for the heads up. I'd rather have one or two really good boots than the closet full of boots I don't currently wear that often.

@flannel-slut I look at some of them and I think that someone else would appreciate some of the stuff I no longer wear or haven't even really worn. What's the value in keeping something you don't use?
That's why I have like three or four pairs of black jeans and only two pairs of blue jeans. I just don't wear them. But that's a completely different rabbit hole.
-
@GardenState just FYI the 2040 has the lowest instep in the range, I don't see it mentioned enough.
-
@Rococo Excellent! I love being able to move and be comfortable in my shoes.

@Brandrea this one is also on my list, once and if available in Europe at any stage. I have a Viberg x Statement 310 Service Boot – Limited Special Make Up / Black Chromexcel that I love, but where I figured out that I have much less use for a black boot as compared to brown.. Not getting much use
-
@tobi I just looked at your post here a minute ago and I have to say the black looks amazing. I’d be wearing the heck out of that colorway lol.
I have the rowdy dachsunds in the 310 and I love them, but I always wanted the natural Chromexcel for their beautiful depth of color and patina potential! I’m having a hard time resisting these ….

@Denman-John I’m from Ontario and good thing, or I’d probably visit the showroom too often lol.
I did buy my 145’s there last summer when we were in Victoria. Awesome people there at Viberg,
-
@GardenState seriously?
I’ve never cross shopped brands, mainly because I know these boots work with my wonky feet (especially the 310’s).
I thought these were pretty pricey based on what I paid for my Rowdy Dachshunds a couple of years back …
-
@Brandrea those are lovely! Is that price in Canadian dollars?
I love a natty cxl for boot leather. Really ages super nicely. Plus the 310 style is so cool. I've found that as my 310s have aged, the blockiness has smoothed out some. They definitely get better and better as they age.I looked at the Viberg site but didn't see these...
Edit: found em...$990usd
-
@Mizmazzle yep Canadian dollars … the exchange rate really sucks!
With tax I’m having a hard time justifying the purchase
I also like the 310 in Golden Brown Predator. I was thinking of driving down island to Viberg soon and seeing what they have in their showroom …
