Got these from 14oz in my usual size 10. They fit nicely but they are a tad loose around the toes, both laterally and vertically. I'm a 11C on the Brannock, so these E width are better suited with a thick sock. Very happy with them so far. Waxed flesh is a great leather.

And here, my country derby's, one week after breaking them out, attending a commencement ceremony in New York. Got several compliments and inquiries about them.

I have the same boots, and they're some of my favorites. I wear mine to the office, construction sites, hiking, running errands, etc. I almost always bring them when I travel for work. I think mine are going on 3 years of wear. One of the toes has a cracked toebox, and they're likely due for a resole this year. Honestly, I think they're the best pair of Vibergs I've owned. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy mine!



Great for getting muddy

Some proper photos of my Natural CXL from the SF GMTO - over a year old:

still kicking myself for not getting in on this pre-order or picking up the pair I came across in the Buy/Sell. Looks like Lost and Found is doing another pre-order, but with a few small differences like partially structured toe. These are unstructured right?

About time Viberg realized that stitch down is what customers want.

i wonder if they are just replacing old machines or adding machines to increase production?

Nothing like the thrill of a little rational thinking!


No ****, they were pumping GYW like there's no tomorrow and there was no demand for them at all. Just my observation.

What attracted me to their boots initially was SD construction and I'm glad they realized they what was happening.

could be just for their workboot line. or they could start pumping out more CXL and basic work boot leathers. I doubt they will go back to SD on their exotics or special leathers.

Someone asked Brett and he said it's just to replace the older machines. No changes in stitchdown allocation vs GYW.
