Agreed.  I can’t wear it.  If you have wide feet, I would steer clear.

310, 110, 160 and 2045.  I am really loving these 160 right now.  I get lots of compliments on them and they look incredible in person:

I will post when there is some progress.  The 160 is also extremely comfortable straight out of the box.  This is one of the main lasts they use in their other non-fashion oriented workboot line.

I've got these on the way. I can't wait to get them. They look like they will be super comfy.

Just did some maintenance on these. Italian calf with an unusual matte finish. I really love them and would like ta add a similar pair of brown service boots in the near future.

Those look great.

The slides are amazing! I was pleasantly surprised with how nice they are. And they fit great too.

[Appfaff]

Those are so cool @filthy - nice score

I hear you both - funds issue and a friend visiting the very same day saved me from this (Viberg & RnH) world of pain [emoji28]

RH is one of those places that is both a joy and a pain to visit!

What is the most durable smoothout leather Viberg use? Weighing options for a service boot that is reasonably smart but will not demonstrate rapid evo and will be able to sustain the inevitable scratches and such without looking beaten up (a characteristic I normally desire, but want these to verge on dress boots).

Most durable would be their heavyweight oil tan leather used mainly on their workboot line. Oil tan leathers are fully dyed through and not tea core surface dyed like most of the fashion line leathers. Latigo is also dyed through as well and very durable. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Viberg use those leathers in their fashion line however. Horsehide is also quite durable as well but generally only surface dyed.
