moar.

Go to the boot thread
Oak Street Bootmakers

literally in LOVE with these boots but the price is exorbitant.

>>10477135

Broh, I need answers and attention. Wont be getting that there.

Appreciate the advice.

>>10477135

Jut checked, all of their toe boxes look like bulbs. That's the exact style I do NOT want.

>>10477139
Thursday Boots Co make slimmer profile ankle boots for $200. Not as sleek and pointy as Viberg but quite a bit sleeker than Red Wing, Wolverine, Chippewa etc.

>>10477135
Was going to recommend this.

>>10477183

The thursdays are on the left. Pretty fucking close!
These might be a strong contender. Im not huge o the shade of brown they use though but the natural is pretty okay.

Thank you!

>>10477201


and by left, I obviously mean the right. Whoops!

>>10477183
>>10477201
They even make allen edmonds replicas.

Give in. Buy the Vibegs.

Thursday's are shit-tier.

Dayton service boots

>>10477139
You are posting different boots. The first 3 are the Viberg x 3sixteen Coffee Chromepak Service Boots, and the 4th one is clearly different (black tongue)

>>10477525
Also, the Vibergs are basically impossible to find. They sold out quickly, won't be restocked, and were scalped for 900+ even though they retailed for $700. I'm >>10477642 btw, and I've been looking for a pair for a month now.

>>10477647
Not OP, but the fourth boot is the even older Viberg x 3sixteen Olive Chromepack collab.

>>10477647
"Selling out immediately" is only true of models made with cordovan or other coveted/fetishized leathers. If you had the money right now you could easily find a new pair of Vibergs through the main site without even checking obscure stockists.

As for after market inflation, you're just plain wrong. The resales of the most sought after model (Brandy shell) still sold for under retail. Keep in mind there were fewer than 20 of these made. Not cheap, but far from scalping.

>>10477647
what are you talking about?
did you even look around?

>>10477642

That was not OP, but I am. The first ones I posted were b1-3 and b6.

>>10477525

I figured as much. I'll probably end up doing that but $750... Steep.

Giving a lot of consideration to the santalum boots but they're not answering me..

>>10477690
The coffee chrompak aren't on sale

>>10477610

The daytons are okay but they have structured toes and I don't really want that.

>>10477699
I never said they're on sale
I doubt any of the service boots ever go on sale

>>10477695
>>10477700
Santalum is not a terrible alternative considering you get an MTO exactly to your specifications... within their options.
If part of the reason you like Viberg is because of the unique and high quality leathers, Santalum won't come close to scratching that itch. But if you just want a slim toe-box, Santalum will do the trick.

Be aware of
-long wait times
-language barriers
-possible messed up orders/sizing issues

can a straight guy pull these off?

>>10477714

>implying

>>10477711
i love their vibe and their product but $7-800 is a big commitment. I feel like santalums are a good jump-point for me and then once I discover what I want/need from a boot, the vibergs would then make more sense.

>>10477708
Club Monaco had 30% off both their Viberg models a few weeks back.

>>10477700
Pic related is Truman Boot Co, they do MTO with unstructured toes. Expensive, but less so than Viberg.

>>10477732
ty.
investigating.

>>10477708
I meant that the coffee chromepak aren't in stock.

This is now a Viberg porn thread

>>10477748
OP here. Carry on.


Related but not -- How's the sizing on Vibergs?

>>10477766
For a 2030 service boot I went a half size down from my redwing/wolverine size. Mine are pic related.

>>10477771
>>10477766
And apparently posting from my phone is a bunch of bullshit.

Believe it or not, Jack & Jones does a serviceb oot knockoff.

>>10477784
Eh

>>10477740
chromepak anything is rarely in stock except for fugly handsewns worn by a certain kind of fedora

chromepak vibergs are rare by viberg standards

don't expect any more

vibergs in chromexcel aren't hard to find
they are everywhere

>>10477784

Not a big fan of "pre distressed" stuff. The boot itself is okay.

>>10478660
Other than the quality is probably utter shit.

your welcome lad

>>10478781
that's a given.

>>10478820
Yeah, looked into these and they're okay but they look pretty cheap. For the same price, I can get Santalums that are more on-par with the Vibergs.

I think I just need to nut up and spend the $700 on what I really want..

>>10477783
fuuuuuuuckkkk

Are "service boots" an actual style?

>>10479478
I'd say so. Searching for "service boots" brings up boots which fit a certain criteria and appearance.

>>10479478
>>10479487

I think they were inspired by WWI era Canadian serviceman boots

I just got Chippewa Apaches and they're super comfy, they make a service boot for like 300

>>10480221
just checked their site and didn't see anything. what are you seeing that I'm not?
