    Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

    First time Viberg purchase, so please bear with me. Hoping someone here may have some insight, as I seem to be getting stonewalled through the Viberg site. I placed an order for what appear to be in stock engineer boots last Wednesday, and have yet to get a shipping notification. Anyone know of...

    Considering the last few pages here, I do not feel too outta line posting this PSA: vintage Rolex sale on the Gilt Group site. My apologies to whomever drops $4k+ today

    Ha! Perhaps I should, though that is not a shoe safe. There certainly are members here more deserving of a shoe safe. No shell yet... I've only bought Aldens on sales

    Tassels for a Sunday morning at the office. I haven't gotten as much wear out of these as I would like. Trying to reinstate them into the rotation, but they seem to straddle the line between casual and dressy in an awkward sort of way. I think the natty cxl is casual, while the tassel is...

    Obliged. Pulled the trigger. Didn't want to wait & F up like I did with the Innsbruck Indy, leffot naval 8, etc... This whole Alden thing really is a slippery slope. 3rd pair since May, no shell though. First pre order. Hoping this doesn't turn me off to preorders in the future...

    I am also looking at one of the leffot pre orders. I must apologize, for I know I've read the answer on here nearly a dozen times, but Leffots pre order turnaround is pretty reasonable, yes? I desperately need an (almost) all weather boot, but am hesitant if the wait will be many months. Has...

    Philly does have Sherman bros (2 locations, if memory serves). Very accommodating, pretty knowledgeable. They were also selling a few shell wingtips at $500. They had certainly been tried on, but I seriously doubt they ever left the store.

    No, went Barrie size. Was literally swimming in tts. Very pleased I tried on in store.

    In reference to the discussion regarding tassels & age, I'm 24. I'm definitely the only guy among my friends wearing tassels, but I'm certainly not getting laughed outta the joint

    As promised, natty cxl tassels from BB. Procured during most recent sale. Loving them. Paired with j crew bowery oxford cloth. Loving these pants too. Other than my Alden's, favorite recentclothing purchase

    First time posting in the wild shots, no idea if this works... Choco suede chukkas, braving the slight mist of NYC this evening. Cab shot

    Bakes, the patina is what I'm most looking forward to. I've seen some natty cxl turn grey-ish (display pair of brixton boots in store at epaulet, a few weeks ago), which is much more worrisome to me

    I've not actually worn them yet. Only broken them in. Pics to follow.Many many pics, if you so desire. Thank you to everyone for such timely responses. I still don't know how to quote on the phone...

    Need help fellas. How durable/resilient is cxl? I brought my natty cxl tassels to NYC, and the forecast has taken a turn for the worse. I have my treated suede chukkas, tassels, and a pair of canvas Sperry sneakers. Have some plans where my canvas sneaks will not suffice, and suede treatment or...

    Don L, these are killing me. Going to new York tomorrow. I own no shell, just stock suede chukkas and BB cxl tassels. Realistically, I should not buy any $600+ shoes, but these have me strongly considering taking the plunge. These, along with the leffot #8 naval w/ antique edge, are competing...

    Just bought cxl tassels on Aberdeen. Barrie is perfect. TTS much too large... Just my experience though
