Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

It seems unlike Viberg to do a collaboration like that when he just did one with Rancourt.

Let us not forget…

Some people are saying the desktop version and the mobile version of the site has different stock so I dunno

Edit: looks like the site was just broken (again) and it should be working on both mobile and desktop now

I noticed this as well with my most recent pair. My last pair is from sometime in 2018. These look and feel like different boots/lasts, but I don't mind it much on this particular makeup. Lots of differences.

Do you have a photo comparison? I’ve got an 8 year old pair of 2030 service boots and just got a pair of Uplands on the archive sale. The Uplands are Vibergs chukka style and has a very tight heel and looks much dressier and similar to Alden. I was assuming this was just because of the last and style differences, but could this be a universal change? Thanks!

My first pair of Vibergs. My first pair of Chelsea boots. Worn them for 30+ minutes in the store, felt pretty good, so hopefully I made a good sizing decision! Now they will be house slippers for a few days as I break them in

Got my pair of Uplands in the Noix Eco, and so far I’m a very enthusiastic and optimistic “Meh”…. First, they are much more refined than any other Vibergs I’ve owned, and remind me more of a better quality/more robust Alden. The leather is very soft, but I must admit I don’t love the homogeneity of color. I was hoping for something closer to chromexcel minus the chrome. No visible damage and they fit really well for not ever trying this last (I went a .5 down from my service boots). There are a few sloppy spots on the edge dressing, they came w/ 54” laces that aren’t useable in these, and one small stitch popped loose after the first full days wear… Hope that doesn’t become an issue later! Anyways, here are a few pics:

Hi, posting a couple follow up pics of the Uplands

Hi, wanted to post a couple follow up photos of the Noix Eco Upland chukka boots. Been wearing them daily for the last three weeks and they fit like a glove! Unlined, so to caves in a bit but I’m hoping it turns out like a Clinch! 😝

Sure, I have a few photos, but I can take some more tomorrow (older pair on left in both photos.) I share your sentiment in that they look and feel much more dressy, and the heel is definitely more snug (a welcome difference to me!) A stream of consciousness list of differences: higher SPI everywhere, neater finishing, less-pronounced almond toe, GYW-looking construction (toe rounds over the edges rather than clearly being stitched straight down onto the welt,) slimmer heel (3 1/4" rather than 3 1/2",) slimmer leather midsole. None of these are particularly good or bad changes to me, except it all does add up to a decidedly dressier boot.

Rivet and hide looks like they have just released some custom makeups on their site as well https://rivetandhide.com/products/r-h-x-viberg-service-boot-black-oil-tan-roughout-2040.html

Wondering if someone has some advice on the 2030 last? I’m a 10D in Alden, and limited experience with Viberg lasts. The best I have was a pair of boots in the 2020 last in a 9, but those felt tight across the top of my foot.

Looking at the Outsider Chelsea, wondering if a 9.5 or 10 would be the way to go.

Thanks
