    @Brandrea said in Viberg:

    I just messaged Viberg and this is the response I got … looks like they can’t make the 310’s in Shell 😞

    8D4EFB41-7E77-4120-BDF1-ACABDCFF57E1.png

    That aligns with what I had read anecdotally. Apparently, Viberg in the past tried doing some 310 boots in horsehide, not even shell, to disastrous results. The leather was repeatedly tearing due to the required pulling to stretch it across the structured bump toe, a problem that would only be exacerbated with shell.

      @Brodie oh man! Gorgeous. Wear those beauties. You are a lucky man to have boots of such caliber.

          @Brodie yours seem to have a bit more of a matte finish, which ain’t a bad thing at all!!

          If ya did want a bit more pop to the luster of the shell, take a clean horse hair brush and you could give em a quick buffing. They’d shine for sure…but again, that matte looking finish has a lot of benefits of its own.

            @Mizmazzle Ya, I knew mine were looking a bit matte (which I didn't mind), but didn't realize just how matte they were until I saw your photo. I'll definitely take a brush to them soon and see if I can restore a bit of that luster to give them at least a little pop that they deserve.

                    Anyone ever had their Viberg stitchdown construction boots resoled? Or any other stitchdown boot for that matter...
                    I know its more difficult to do....i'm curious if most cobblers have this skill, or if its more of a specialty job?
                    I just got off the phone with the dude at Wyatt and Dad Cobblers (super nice guy)...He told me he has to hand stitch boots that are stitch down construction because machines don't have the finesse to align the needle into the existing holes without running out all over the place.

                    I want to get the shite "commando" soles replaced on my Pachena Bays with Vibram 100s...love that sole!

                      No firsthand experience, but I've read a number of positive reviews about Unsung House. There's an upcharge because they too have do do the stitchdown by hands, but the work I've seen is very clean.

                        I highly recommend Grant at Unsung. They have resoled several boots for me and I’ve also had them make a pair of engineers.

                        I currently have a pair of boots at Bedo’s doing a recraft, I’ve heard he’s amazing so we shall see…

                          This may be not everybody’s cup of tea, but if you have any questions about Grant or Isaac’s ability’s here’s a pair of Viborg’s that I had them completely modify from a Vibram

                            @northsouthdenimguy looks great man, I might need to get my 310s resoled by then. Too much sliding around for me.

                              Yeah, they should be able to hook you up and maybe re-last them to a little bit smaller size if needed

                                @northsouthdenimguy you nailed it, mine could be a little smaller too. I was on their site the other day, just need to make the move.

                                        @Denman-John Thank you! They're on the 2040 last on Dainite sole. It's an older makeup, I think around 2015-16 and while not new, they are in pristine condition. Stoked to find this pair, takes the sting out of not being able to get that sweet Predator Roughout pair from BCC you got.
