WOW. I'M A HUGE FAN OF SHELL CORDOVAN AND THOSE ARE A BEAUTY!!!!

though may i ask what shell is being used? and that really does not look like any #8 shell that i have…

[rocket]

no idea, the only info Brett posted was #8 Cordovan split welt…

[mclaincausey]

Wouldn't it have to be Horween shell using #8 or is that designation common to other tanneries as well?

[Chris]

I've heard that Alden modifies the Horween #8 to their own specifications, so it's darker than the #8 that comes straight out of the tannery.  Perhaps Viberg has also decided to modify the supply.

That is a fine pair of engineer boots! I love the height of Viberg's engineer and the toe profile is just right.

I've got a new pair of service boots winging their way to me. Photos soon.

[Finkster]

Thx a lot @Sugar Mountain … Yep - I'm very satisfied with them (especially in the winter months)

[tod]

^^ yes indeed, some killer boots there..

FYI (and sorry if this has already been posted somewhere else).

I'm posting in the Viberg thread on behalf of @Black Orchid regarding her new Viberg Engineer Boots in Black Horsehide, Vibram 700 Sole, Box Toe, 310 Last, size 6D, courtesy of @FOXY.
Posting a few pics for our collective enjoyment. I reckon they make a great combination

Kuul Boots  @Finkster nice
Very nice @Black Orchid

These are my pretty worn and still in Great condition horsebutts for VMC 25th anni in Sept 2011. the only viberg engineers built on the 2030 last including a very very narrow toe. Extremely rare and beautiful. Unfortunately my feet cant pull em off any more, they served me so well in all these years now but i think i will let em go…aargh in the marketplace soon size 8

[Black Orchid]

Gorgeous @davito shame you can't wear them anymore… Any reason why?

My feet got sensitive over the years and I worn These pretty Hardcore in rain, snow and mud always reliable they are indestroyable, so in fact although these are tagged UK8 they feel now like a very tight US8 due to the molding and shaping. I can wear em with thin socks but its a struggle somehow especially in warmer weather as i like wearing Boots the whole year @Black Orchid  Thank you ma'am

[Black Orchid]

Thanks @davito that's kind of what I thought… Feet are sensitive things [emoji57]

I swear my feet have gotten bigger over the years - I blame it on gravity…

Sad to say @Bluegrass that's exactly right re feet getting larger with age.. and gravity= oy.
