that said, Viberg's boots can feel a little bit hybrid too because they are just a manufacturer, and the boots that actually get ordered reflect some mix of the tastes of the stockist and the older style of production that actually produces them.

so you can have a boot designed by someone who wants it to reflect modern tastes, but the boot is still being made by people who care first and foremost about the traditional quality of the boot, and making it the way they know how to.

so it's hybrid in a really different way than how visvim is hybrid. and to me it feels like a more naturally occurring hybridity, it's not as deliberate

Brett Viberg in interview:
"I'm not a designer, I don't know anything about it, I just do stuff and that's one of the great things about having the factory. I just make sure that it's authentic to what we do, and not make a fashion product. Otherwise it becomes cheap, and it's not good anymore. Just becoming friends with Nigel - his logic - I mean his is a fashion product but it's heavy; it's authentic stuff. I need to keep what we do in anything I want to do with it; otherwise I'm going too far from our actual roots. It might not be Americana/heritage stuff, but the inside of the boot will be the same."

I actually know very, very little about production or the history or anything like that. I just know how I feel when I look at something. So this is me guessing, in a way
