Viberg is best known for their stitchdown boots, but Brett has spent considerable time and effort in building out a Goodyear welt production line, including a rare set of machines to channel the insoles. As with all Viberg boots, every step is done by hand in their factory in Victoria, BC.

Their side-zip boot is a sleek boot with a snug fit, giving the appearance of a pull-on with easier access. We chose a combination of a soft black calf suede with a Vibram 705 half sole and heel for a clean look.

The last for these is based on a vintage Argentinian riding boot, with a slightly larger heel cup to accommodate the side-zip.

Take one-half size smaller than your Brannock size. If you have wide feet, take your Brannock size.
