If no one wants the pay the Viberg price for these, Nick’s had a very similar looking boot out called the Prospector. Definitely more durable and better built but not as many nice leather choices.

Nah, totally different last. As an ex-owner of pair myself I can testify that. Also I still have nightmares about the finish and attention to details with those boots. Might as well be patient, wait a couple moths and save more money and get the Vibergs, unless one is planning on using them for construction so they get trashed right away, but for casual wear nah there is no comparison.

Vibergs are over priced and are built like crap plus have bad quality control BUT the worse part is every pair you buy turns a person into a boot snob that immediately turns their focus into fashion boots ... give me a nicks veg tan falcon over any viberg any day or even a whites mp or cruiser they are better boots you'll never be satisfied with vibergs none of the leathers even patina it's one of those company's that put so much finish on every boot man hate vibergs and hate the people that buy them yall are toxic losers

@@bfettrules1239 whoa!! You scored at that sale!…The story is, they tried to make a bunch of 310s like mine, with horsebutt, but the thick leather wouldn’t go over the 310 toe well. So they changed course mid-production and made a bunch of 1035s out of that same leather instead (which is what you got). That’s fabulous- 1035 is amazing, and a much more versatile boot in the long haul. You got a sweet pair 🍻

Counterpoint: A softer leather shouldn't cause much resistance for the toe structure, it will want to just go with whatever direction it's being pulled in. So the toe puff shouldn't have trouble keeping cxl, or as in my 310's a moose hide, in that pronounced shape, even though it will want to drape on top. It sounds like the issue with your olive WF pair was the toe puff wasn't sturdy enough, not necessarily the upper leather. It does make sense that a firmer leather will want to stay in the shape of the last, but I hear there were a lot of lasting issues with those HBs on the 310.
@thevintagefuture6567
3 жыл бұрын
This is a great counterpoint actually. I made it too simple in the video. For sure, a super hard toe puff would make any leather stay where it should. So thanks for that….I guess what I was trying to point out is that with horsebutt, if the toe puff suddenly disappeared, it would keep its shape much better, but in the same scenario with CXL, the leather would collapse more drastically. So the CXL is ultra dependent on a toe structure, and also sags a bit in the vamp where there is no toe structure…..Anyways, point taken. Should have been more descriptive there for sure 👍🏽

Yeah! I haven’t used them myself, but I have several friends who have several pairs. And Brett Viberg consistently speaks highly of them. They are comparable to Viberg in quality, perhaps slightly better in some ways. That said, a downside is that they don’t have nearly as much selection as Viberg. Julian himself is French I believe, and very artsy and particular with details. The place is family run. The boots look very classic, and as such are polarizing; they feature sprung toes and sometimes bump toes. Their famous models are the Bowery Boot, the Cornish Miner and others. They have gotten some attention from celebrities such as David Beckham. I’ll probably pick up a pair in years to come. Pricing is also comparable to Viberg, depending on which options you get. Hope that helps, as a basic description from someone who hasn’t worn them🙏🏽

@thevintagefuture6567

They both were used in 1930s workwear, where the bump toe would provide additional toe room for all day wear and comfort and the sprung toe would reduce slippage in an industrial environment with lots of debris on the floor. However, nowadays, it’s just aesthetics, a holdover homage to the past. (Edit: For more info on where this all started, see comments from other user below!)

If you like those, you might want to take a look at William Lennon boots ( www.rufflander.co.uk/brands/william-lennon/ ). They produce very similar designs, for considerably less $$. If the 310's were based on a Springline last, I wouldn't be surprised to find that the last was a Lennon design. MTO, so there's a bit of a wait involved, but they are open to requests as to leather & sole types, etc. Fancy a pair in petrol blue Badalassi? Ask, they are happy to oblige - although, they are on holiday at the moment, so wait until Aug 9th. Also, they are made in the last traditional bootmaking factory in Derbyshire, established in 1904. Seriously stompy an' well 'ard... Loake's Hebden boot is another similar design, but with a less extreme bump - a more refined take. Current production, so available anywhere Loake are sold (or direct), Northamptonshire made, slightly more expensive than the Lennons, but still less than Viberg... Just a couple of options... G
