Description

All our Viberg Service Boots are on a single E width, we suggest sizing down one full size from your standard sneaker size or brannock measurement. Consider sizing down a half size if you have a wide foot. Viberg's Service Boot is directly based on their original model, first produced in 1931. A similar pattern was also used by multiple nations as a standard issue military boot during WWII, however Viberg's quintessential Service Boot is modeled after the Canadian military's WWII Service Boot pattern. The last time we offered Horween's Predator leather as part of our custom Brooklyn x Viberg makeups it resulted in one of our most successful drops ever, and so we jumped on the chance when this new Golden Brown Predator was offered to us. Since both the smooth and roughout side of the hide offer great durability, thickness, and texture we have created two new makeups, one with roughout and one with the smooth side. Like the last run, these Predator hides offer some really special patina potential, and we fully expect them to get better and better with wear! We love Predator as it provides the benefits of both sides of the aisle, being a versatile combination tanned leather with a chrome-tanned base that provides consistent durability and weather-resistance, while a heavy vegetable re-tanning process follows up to bring out the natural characteristics once again. Finally, Horween waxes the hides with their own long-standing blend to give the leather a tonal appearance that is ideal for the ageing of the leather, allowing it to burnish and patina richly over time for a beautiful and unique boot. - Horween Golden Brown Predator - 2030 last - Tan Kip Lined Interior - Gusseted Horween Predator tongue - Leather structured toe puff - Brogue toe cap - 9 #2 Antique Brass eyelets - Natural Leather Midsole - Black Dainite Outsoles and Heels - Traditional Resolable Stitch Down Construction - Small batch, limited run production made at Viberg's factory in Victoria, BC
