Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

Need some feedback. I don’t often find myself wearing these 3sixteen Mocha Oil Harness 1035 boots because of the leather sole.

Any resole suggestions for an unstructured plain toe? Do wedge soles typically work with such flattened unstructured toe boxes or should I stick with something like dainite? Also color as well View attachment 2194809 View attachment 2194811 View attachment 2194813 View attachment 2194815

Id stick to a full sole and heel combo. Dainite, Dr Sole Super Grip, or Vibram Westerner 269 with a Quabaug 419 heel.

What's holding you back from wearing these with the leather sole? Personally I don't find wedge soles to work that well with Vibergs outside of the chunkier lasts/patterns

Similar to dainite, most situations I’m in here are more casual than what call for them… and I’ve already got a couple pairs with dainite. Only wedge sole I can see working would probably be a mini ripple then

These look good

The mini ripple with a leather stack like on these indy boots might work on your boots:

It would kinda preserve some of the the original look while also giving you a more casual style.

I do think the original leather looks pretty damn good though, for what its worth.

I mean it is on a more blobby last in a leather with a ton of pull up. Unless you are planning on actually working in them, seems pretty casual to me. Double leather is thick and honestly Viberg leather soles are pretty damn hearty

Ended up doing a quick sh*tty iPhone photoshop job lol. Not sure if black would look better than white mini-ripple

To me, they’re pretty much the same except 2040 feels like it has a touch less volume in the toes.

Exact same for me too.

Mr Porter something or other suede on 2020.

Like the look of the laces but wish they didn't slip off so much

Are these in the 2040 last? From Standard and Strange?

Lovely looking. They've aged really well. A ridgeway sole?

Thanks.

The soles are Dainite studded. I spec’d leather but was later told they couldn’t do it with stitchdown. They definitely can obviously, as they’ve done it before and after, but maybe they hadn’t figured it out yet with the higher SPI and new leather sole type.
