Here's a photo in cool indirect light (not warm sunlight) of mushroom from production runs that are several years apart. I say it's more brown than green, but we all see colors a little differently.

I have the olive reindeer boots so I just wanted to make sure it didn’t read too green and duplicate my others

Anyone know the difference between calf suede and bison calf suede with respect to texture, nap, durability, and any other qualities that may differ?

Does anyone know if you can return the one-off shell releases, e.g. the Bourbon shell?

looks like all sales final.

Slightly off topic, but for those interested in the styling of viberg’s sneaker, our legacy is having a sale and their mono runner is included. I’ve attached a link below to compare.

Guidi calf from a sample sale via Grailed a couple years ago. They are def imperfect but also excellent.

The toebox on this last is quite generous.

I'm sending these off to get a little custom work. Stay tuned.

This is how you break in some boots!

Shinki Hikaku Tannery

We are excited to share images from a recent visit to the Shinki Hikaku Tannery in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture. As a manufacturer we are committed to crafting the highest quality product and that requires sourcing leathers from tanneries with similar quality philosophies. Like us, Shinki Hikaku is...

I hope to see Viberg use more Shinki horsehide. I remember awhile back Rivet & Hide had a black tea core service boot that was really nice

here are some pictures of Viberg sneakers on feet. The website does no justice. Also again styled incorrectly in some of their main pictures in my opinion. You gotta show off the whole sneaker / wear tapered pants. I usually wear them with denims but I’m wearing EG BDU’s here.

how did you size the sneakers, the same as which last?

Hey guys got my first pair of service boots on the 2030 last recently, and I thought they fit perfectly but I was accumulating blisters wearing them all day yesterday. They’re newish, bought them second hand so I don’t know how often they’ve been worn. I just wanted to know if this is common because they initially felt like the best fitting pair of boots I’ve ever had.

I would be all over a tea core service boot or Oxford.

Curious where the term 'tea core' came from to describe the dye method.

A bunch of blisters is not a good sign.
It depends where the blisters are. If the blisters are just on your heels, especially around where the the backstay/counter overlap. then don't worry. You can kneed that area to soften it up.
If the blisters are on the forward sides and toes, then it could be that the 2030 last does not work well for your foot shape or the sizing is too short.
For me, 1035 fits well enough but 2030 does not.

Then again, it could all just be from wearing newish boots all day. Some leathers take longer to loosen up than say CXL.
You said the fit seems great: Is that with thin socks or boots socks with some level of cushion? If it's boot socks, you're probably ok and you'll fondly look back at how your favorite boots made you earn their love.

I read somewhere that "tea core" is from the tanning process, specifically vegetable retanning. That's why all CXL leather is tea core, as well as, other leathers that receive that treatment.

Ah I understand, so it's not a specific leather type, but sort of an umbrella term - hence why black CXL wears to brown
