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. We are always stoked on the variety of textured leather makeups C.F. Stead and Viberg jointly send our way, but this is surely one of the most unique. Tanganiyka is a UK-tanned buffalo hide that sets itself apart from other buffalo hides by way of its very fine grain, which grants it access to a very interesting niche: It is both fine enough to fit in with dressier embossed grain leathers, as well as textured enough to garner interest from those who enjoy coarser, more textured leathers. Noisette is a beautiful brown shade with warm golden undertones, plenty of interesting texture that will create a pleasant patina with time, and pairs very nicely with the clean, classic styling of the Navvy. - C.F.
