Thanks guys. Can't wait to wear them for the first time today.

I just ordered these, very excited to have them. Size 6.5 UK, well, seems nobody else wears my size (been deciding to pull the trigger for a few months actually, and then forgot about them - took a look at the site yesterday and saw my size still up!), so lucky me.

Should I buy some insoles? Do these come with good ones or any at all? Never got Viberg boots before.

How long do boots like these last with good care? How often do you have them re-heeled? I'm so used to having boots basically be dead after a few years, guess I never bought anything very high quality before.

Thanks

Viberg's don't come with insoles generally. I think the consensus is they don't need a pair either, but like always, your mileage may vary.

These boots should last forever with good care. Re-heel as required. Could be yearly or 5+ years, depending on how you wear them down. I don't think anyone in this thread has worn them down yet..

Congrats and Enjoy!

I got the SOLE Softec Ultras. Read many good reviews on them, especially from military personnel who uses them for combat/tactical boots. Should fit right up this alley.

Thanks

News of the upcoming Ironheart summer sale has me looking at some boots… Curious whether anyone can post pics of these brown oil tans with some real wear -- or another Viberg boot on the same leather for that matter.  (Also be interested in pics of the W & Anchor work shoes with wear, though I know this is the Viberg thread.)

Last time I saw the price was $750, did they go up recently or something?

[Giles]

They did go up I am afraid….

As requested by @tod and @Giles - a foot selfie of Big Wanda.

The leather will look great with a bit more wear. I've only had these for a month or so, but they're developing character.

[Giles]

Now extinct…..Though Kersting & Henschel and Vater & Sohn (I think), still have some....

[173]

Damn, that was quick… not bringing them back anymore, are you?

[Giles]

No sorry.

A bit late, but here's some.

Those are so sweet!

Great shots! They will get better with time.  I haven´t trashed mine enough yet to make them pic worthy.
