I just received a shipping notification for my natural shell preorder! I almost sent them an email earlier today to get a status update.




Damn these are awesome! Post some more pics please.

Ooo when did you order?

This Horween work shoe butt is literally the thickest/stiffest leather I've seen

Back in July. With everything that happened in 2020, July feels like forever ago!

I was really bummed that the size 11 from the latest withered fig release was defective. Whatever tool they use to form the vamp ended up burning/marking the leather

Viberg suggested they try blending VSC in that area to minimize the contrast. Richard treated the whole boot to match

One pair was being sold as seconds, the other as firsts (after treatment). I was intrigued by the “dusty” look of the untreated pair, but I took a chance on the treated version and I am not disappointed.

That's not a defect, it's a feature!

July was at least 4 years ago in Covid times.

Very nice. I didn't even realize those were natural cxl based on their lab pics. How do those fit relative to a 2030 or 1035? I love a good leather sole ala Lucchese Jonahs but they're truthfully almost comically slipery on anything other than black top. I would likely trade my chunky natural Lofgrens for those. Great alternative.

The leather sole is why I decided to try the Viberg instead of the Lucchese. You’re right, comically slippery.

Depending on the leather used, you still get the chunk. This CXL pair is thick leather. You feel the heft of it, like a riding jacket on your foot.

Can’t speak to the lasts directly. I only own the 2050 lasts. Indirectly, in asking Division Road, the 2030 is a little wider, and a little shorter. It’s the extended toe on the 2050 that works well for my foot, which I was told isn’t on the 2030.

Someone here might be able to better answer that for you.

Wow those look cool. Can you post up more pics? Really curious about this leather. Is it smooth or rough?

@caffed +1 on this. I am so intrigued by this. I know your an expert at this point so I would love to see more photos and your thoughts.

For all that are curious about the Maryam 1060 boots.

I know Viberg said no bump toe HB from now on, but I really really want that on 310 last.....

So is this a smooth side, or RO, or combination? What's with the almost white vamp on the right boot?

Roughout/reverse. The leather is sanded down to be a specific width.

Is it also waxed?

Nope. It is tanned with Talc.
