Description

The Navvy is made on Viberg's anatomical 1940 last that sizes similarly to their 2030 Service Boots, but with a slightly more rounded toe. We suggest sizing down one full size from your standard sneaker size or brannock measurement, but consider a half size down instead if you have wide feet. Viberg's Navvy Boot is modeled after classic ankle-height derby boots, a very long-standing and versatile style that blends traditional styling with ease of wear, as their slightly less-rugged nature sets these a bit apart from the Viberg Service Boots we all know and love. While they are easy to dress up, they also offer all the style and performance needed for casual wear. This textured Alpine Calf hide comes from Tannerie d'Annonay, who have been tanning some of the world's finest calf leathers in their namesake of Annonay, France, since 1838. The tanning industry itself is the heart of Annonay, with a calfskin tanning tradition going back hundreds of years, all the way back to the 12th century. D'Annonay's Alpine Calf uses select bovine calf hides to ensure the quality of the end product, and is produced by thoroughly embossing the tanned hide, which gives it a unique grain to set it apart from other calf hides in terms of both look and feel. These hides are quite durable and scratch resistant, so you can expect these boots to hold up for a lifetime.  - Tannerie D'Annonay Alpine Calf - 1940 last - Amber vegtan lining - Narrow Alpine Calf tongue - Leather toe puff structure - Plain toe - Blacked out eyelets & speedhooks - Tonal French Binding - Heel stiffener - Black Ridgeway soles and heels - Black leather midsole - Resoleable channeled insole goodyear welt construction - Small batch, limited run production made at Viberg's factory in Victoria, BC
