Viberg

@twometer:

Sole search continues, anyone knows what kind of sole this is?
Can see the cats paw heel but otherwise clueless.

To me a great overall look and setup.

So this is interesting:

^Viberg's new boot builder is online, but not on their site, yet.  It isn't completed (probably why it's not on the site), and the pricing is WAY off; but it appears they have changed their model range.  The service boots are definitely different – more like White's.  I'm curious if anyone can shed any light on this...

^ unfortunately the link isn't working for me!…

[seanocono]

Really?  Huh.  I tried it and it works fine, on my end.  Must be a regional thing.

[Finn666]

^ thanks for checking again mate! might be cuz I'm on the phone then atm.
will try again later at home…

[seanocono]

No problem, and, yeah, just checked on my phone with no success, either.  It's a flash-based site – I think -- so no dice on the iPhone.

edit: that looks like the old link seanocono, I was using that when I was looking at building a boot late last year

[seanocono]

It very well could be an older link than I am familiar with. The only builder I ever played with featured a 40's Service Boot, and a 50's Service Boot, in addition to the Hikers, Oxfords, etc.. It didn't have the Semi Dress Service, the Navy Service, the 8" Service, or the Engineer. Also, the leathers are different from the one I previously used.

My first visit to their site was late November '12, so it is entirely possible that this is an older builder.

Although, if it were older, it wouldn't really make sense that it is partially completed. The leathers in this builder also line up with the recent samples provided by Viberg.

I'll stand corrected :). The interface looks the same but the contents are different. Back to my initial comment of well found

(and I can't believe they rebuilt it in flash! It's all about mobile, flash is dead yo)

its the new builder
the naval boots interesting looking
the service boot still looks the same as always just they're showing it at a 8" height
i knew the semi dress was coming out as brett had sent me a pic of it in november
engineers were on the old builder
they need to add last options and heights to some boots in my eyes
i'm glad its going back up thou, totally missed playing with it

What is a naval boot? And what does their semi dress look like?

It really looks like the old one to me, before they came out with the 1940 and 1950 Service Boots.  And the prices just seem far too low for custom Vibergs. But I don't know for sure – just what it seems like...

[bagley920]

It doesn't seem to be updating the price tod. I just built a semi dress and it told me $200 which is where it starts at

[natehate]

It's definitely not complete and needs more work for sure ! If Morgan still reads this suggest that last's be an option in the build a boot and height .

[Finn666]

BAM!
