Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

Are these the infamous "toe puffs" I've been reading about looking back through the posts? I prefer unstructured (which these look like) but I don't think they offer that anymore.

These are actually structured!

As for current offerings, it does seem like Viberg prefers structured toes on smooth out leathers, but that can always change on a whim.

Does anyone have the dark olive Janus suede chelsea boots? They look like they're more brown than olive, which is what I'm hoping for. Any pics?

I had a pair in Loden green. I thought it had a strong green in person that may not come out in photos

2030 sizing questions, but for Chelsea boots specifically:

1. Same or different advice for laced boots and slip-on elasticated boots? Last year I tried 1 full-size down from Brannock (I'm 8.5D, so tried on 7.5 2030E) and my feet in medium-thick socks were swimming, perhaps due to the wide E width? Sadly size 7 was not available to try on.
2. Read about sizing inconsistency between runs. How big of an issue is this? If I try on one makeup, can I confidently purchase a different leather/color combo on the same last?

Lastly, about "waxy commander" leather, I get the sense this thread largely avoids it. Is it a bad leather somehow, or just overpriced by Viberg relative to quality/scarcity/accessibility. Seems like every year they release many options in this leather

I’m a big fan of Cuba waxy commander and have a few pairs of Tricker’s in it.

Just a heads-up. Viberg Cordovan Service Boot will be USD $2,200 after Jan 20th.

Sadly there don't actually appear to be any boots available to purchase at this price- looks like an error. Judging by the associated text looks like this information was meant for stockists. Still, interesting to have an idea how much stockists pay before they add their margin.

Country boots in polo something or other with suede you can't see.
