Viberg Service Boots in brown harness leather.

>>7297889
THANKS
GIB ADDRESS, WILL SUCK DIK

Wowie zowie these can get pricey!
And that harness leather one was a custom.

But man, oh so nice.

Opinions on Viberg? How do they stack up against their southern neighbours?

For near 800 bucks a pair you'd hope they were miles ahead.

They are top tier. Strongly recommended. I'm looking to cop their service boots in ice mocha as soon as I have enough dough.

>>7298141
I think they're way overpriced. $700 for chromexcel, really? You can get shell cordovan Alden's at that price. If they were $500 I wouldn't hesitate though, dat silhouette.

>>7298254
You'd really hope that they make up for it in the other materials and overall construction. Not that chromexcel is bad, just not particularly rare or anything like that.

But that's just the uppers. I wonder how they're welted. (at that price I'd almost hope that they were hand welted or something hue)

>>7298275
Oh, and 20 weeks for an order? Sure hope there's some kind of canuk magic going on in their construction.

>>7298254
>dat silhouette
ikr?
Found anything with a similar outline at half the price or lower?

>>7298254

I dont really like Alden. Bought their Shell Cordovan Longwing and wasnt impressed.

>>7298283
What did you find wrong with them?

>>7298254
>>7298283
Just on shell cordovan, is there anything special to it to justify the markup for it? Or is it just a stylistic thing?

>>7298283
Wow that's a pity. Did you get black or burg?
Why didn't you like them?

>>7298282
I haven't found anything with the exact silhouette. The closest thing I've found is probably these Chevalier cap toe boots.

>>7298328
That's actually not too bad, well, cept about the shipping thing. Courier postage can get expensive, especially in the crappier parts of the world (but then you have to factor in customs costs etc.)

>>7298328
>>7298337
Interesting.
Thanks for the info. I live in that region - perhaps one day I'll think about getting some.

I have a black pair. I just find them not as comfortable as my pair of calf skinned Trickers boots. I also dont like the way they crease (quite ugly in fact, I thought this was their main selling point?). They just dont give me the same sense of excitement/good feels as when I wear my Trickers and Viberg pair.

>>7298337
They're already charging foreigners extra though. For locals they're only charging 1749k Indonesian Rupiah which is around $150 USD.

>>7298328

I reckon I might consider those for my next boot.

>>7298416
Damn! Where are all my old Indo friends when I need them?

>Vibergs

>>7298590
more like vi-herbs lol

>>7298397
>I have a black pair. I just find them not as comfortable as my pair of calf skinned Trickers boots.
Yeah, I've heard that it's a very tough kind of leather.

>I also dont like the way they crease (quite ugly in fact, I thought this was their main selling point?).
Did trees not help with this?

On another note, are you the anon that posts pics of their Trickers Stowes every once and a while? Seems like old Tricks is rare on /fa/...

How do your Tricks and Vibergs stack up against each other?

>>7298590
>black pants
>beige/tan shoes

>>7298254
Leather quality is not the only thing taken into account when pricing shoes. Viberg construction is A++

>>7298313
Shell is made from a very specific (and relatively small) portion of horse ass, and takes around 6 months to tan. Not many tanneries produce it - Horween is the only one in North America that does. It's also an extremely tough material that requires very minimal maintenance.

>>7298328
Interesting...
Cheaper than any red wings too.

>>7303536
$195 + 70 + duties?

lol fuck no they're not cheaper than redwing

maybe maybe like $10 if they claim the value of the package is peanuts

>>7298313
less likely to crack due to fatigue failure and neglect.

unlike some other leathers (sheep, lamb, black corrected grain leather, patent etc) looks better with age

What the ones in OP's picture called?
I can't find them

>>7303547
Where you live perhaps. Red wings is expensive.

>>7298328
I wonder how these hold up?
One month and 200+ bucks.
vs
4 and half month and 800+ - better construction etc.

I guess it depends where one's priorities lie. I just like the overall sleeker look without the bulbous toe, but I don't like it $800 much.

> Did trees not help with this?

Not that I can see.

> On another note, are you the anon that posts pics of their Trickers Stowes every once and a while?

Nope, not me.

> How do your Tricks and Vibergs stack up against each other?

They are vastly different shoes built for different styles so it would be quite hard to say which is better IMO. I love them both to death. Currently I'm leaning toward Viberg though since their styles are more varied.

Pic related, my 10 month old Trickers Stows and 1 month old VibergxWanderWander collab.

MUST...FIND...PLACE TO COP IN US? W2C? Or a cheap alternative

Dayton service boots have a similar profile.

>>7307076
Daytons have great profile. Vibergs on the other hand ugly ass pointy profile.

>>7306674
Do you not know how to use Google?

Strap-up boots: yes or no?

>>7307430
Have been, even 215 plus a ridiculous shipping charge is cheaper than what I've been seeing.

>>7306674
>cheaper alternative to the cheaper alternative
I laughed, good one anon.

SF's having a group buy for member for two styles of the the vibergs service boots.
Still come in at 725 (ship incl.) though.
Man.

>>7297889
This has given me a reason to study hard. I am going to buy so much nice shit when I graduate.

>>7310283

WTF do you have babby feet

>>7310590

Any boots similar to the technoman's?

>>7310752
>google image search that photo
>first result "How to dress like a retard"
My sides.

>>7310752

W2C pants?

>>7310816
Honestly I remember back in the day it was posted I used to laugh but now I realized how great that fit actually is.

>>7307171

Talk shit post fit nigga.

Actually, I'm genuinely curious. I don't think I have seen any pair of Dayton boots posted here (except for that W+H collabs). Anyone bought or handled Dayton before?

>>7310752
>>7310816
This fit is actually really good?

>>7310904

it's his ugly nerdy face that ruins everything

>>7310904
Decide for yourself, why are you tripping on /fa/ if you have no opinion on fashion

>>7310904
Yes. Only thing "wrong" with it is the fact that it's real instead of setup on a model. I'm mirin'

What does /fa/ think about Fly London shoes?

Comes to about $200
