Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

[caffed]

I bought them 2nd hand new about 50% off.
I’m not complaining either way.

This image from viberg made me think the claim was true.

Nice boots but they look more like horsehide than Reindeer. Viberg has released both versions in the past few years. Sorry. Not trying to ruin your Christmas or anything. Santa will be much happier if he catches you wearing those boots if they are horsehide.

You can tell by the eyelets too. Moss horsehide has polished brass eyelets, the olive reindeer doesn’t. Reindeer had a lot more variation in texture and color.

Other alternate idea is the Ivy Street New Hunter that Division Road is doing. Anyone wearing that pair yet?

yes, thank you Raneleigh. Love this makeup.
Unfortunately 9 is sold out and 9.5 is falsely showing in stock.
I will keep searching.

Mocha is coming back this Friday for another preorder. Plus a mention of one more shell release before the end of the year

Some great looking boots popping up...Congrats to everyone and the new purchases. So great to see so many people into different styles, lasts, sole's etc...Been thinning the herd the last few weeks and this week will go for round #2...so painful but when so many great shoes/boots go unworn for so long...well time for new homes! I am going to wear each pair(not unworn ones) of similar color/style etc and just keep which fits the best..be it AE, Alden, EG, AS, Viberg, Truman...whoever...I feel sometimes I have kept MTO's and harder to get boots just because....well because I have them!

My last consideration will be to have a few pair that may get sole changes to make them more versatile. I never thought I would say having only 20-30 pairs of boots/shoes would be tough...LOL

My Garnet 110s landed yesterday and these really are my grail boots. They look like a rich beautiful brown on their own, until they are placed next other brown boots, which just look flat and dull by comparison, which I never thought I'd say about mahogany shell. I love these boots and will likely be selling color 8 shell 2030 service boots as these 110s are what I really wanted all along.

They are still doing the wax/oil hazing thing to day, but

Unlined too? Nice

On Lucchese vs. Viberg, having owned 3 Luccheses and one pair of Vibergs, I like everything about Viberg's boots better except the last, which I think is miles better on the Luccheses.

For my feet, the Jonahs are a darn near perfect last that feels great out of the box and only gets better with wear...totally secure on the foot without feeling constraining. By comparison, the 2050 last managed to be both way too tight in some areas and way too loose in others, and even after I took way more time than I should've trying to break my pair in they merely went from unwearable to uncomfortable.

Lucchese leather is just barely good enough, the construction is thoroughly mediocre (while Viberg obviously has chosen some great leathers and has noticeably better construction), and the MSRP is higher, to boot. But at the end of the day, I'll be wearing my two suede Luccheses into the ground, and I wouldn't be surprised if I replaced them if that ever happens, but I never wanted to wear my Viberg sidezips out even once. Just because of that damn last.

On the chelsea front, I've got no interest in Viberg chelseas because RM Williams exists for almost identical reasons.

Strong second here. I hope someone from Viberg reads this and realizes how happy it would make a bunch of Internet fashion nerds if they started making their side-zips on a more foot-friendly last.

I had some of this as well. Just used some VCS and looks fine.

Just to pour a little extra love onto the Garnet appreciation over the last few posts, here are a couple pictures of mine fresh out of the box and then a quick on feet shot. I'm with @kmadd in that these are the boots I've been looking for a long time. Couldn't be happier with them.

I hope viberg decides to do more unlined shell.

Gorgeous boots
