^Does it really need to be "something way out there" ?!
IMO, getting a leg up utilizing rare leathers X (tastefully) tweaked out classic models = pretty unique + awesome as it is, IMO :slayer:

Your desire will most likely fulfill my desire.

Did that sound weird?

Can we get a giraffe leather scout boot on a stacked mid sole and mini ripple?

I don't think that it has to be something "out there", the Hopper (particularly in the 50% cooler original make-up) is a great twist on a classic design.

Rather than yet another brown Service Boot on a Dainite sole, I'd like to see a bit more experimentation. The Echo Boot (is that ever happening?) would be one example, and the Inside Out Service Boot would be another.

Don't get ahead of yourselves, guys. Assuming I can get this to go through, I will present you with some leather options, and then you'll be able to discuss and debate among those. The reason is that the leather inventory at Viberg is changing constantly, and I will not do a GMTO where we have to use leather that may or may not be available.

Cheers,

Fok.

I guess I was just assuming, based on the various leathers and makeups Viberg has been doing over recent months, there would be some sort of grey color out there.

Even the tumbled horse they just did would look awesome on a side zip - and even though, to my great satisfaction, they did that makeup on stitch down, I actually think the only option for a side zip would be GYW because it is a more refined looking style, not really suitable for SD.

Final note: leather sole on the side zip anyone? Then I could really start breaking the hearts of streetwear Instagram ninjas and fashion boys everywhere.

Hopper was fab

... the Inside-Out is a bit too trendy/faddish w/c is really not their niche ... well, not yet.

Aside from camel leather, I'd be down for horsehide or w/e on some fancy tannage__ like the Pit Tanned Bison, w/c undergone the same tanning process as their shell cordovan.

Yes I own quite a few. All of the other ones I own are on the 2030 last. They fit similar to the 2030. I wear the same size in both. They do appear to be more narrow in that they taper in more when it gets to the sole though. It's not as apparent in pictures as it is in person.
Much appreciated. Just to clarify, you mean taper to the toe, correct?

Alright, here are some comparison pics of the chelseas vs a couple of 2030s. One stitch down and one GYW. They are much more sleek in person vs what the pics show. I tried to include a few different angles for everyone. They also fit really well but the style just isn't quite for me, so I will be returning them. The construction is solid and they are very well thought out in my opinion.
