The service boot market is awash with high-quality boots you can stomp about in for years, but forever emerging as a front-runner is Viberg. It’s no secret that the Canadian shoemaker is one of the best in the world, and boots like the Service Boot 2040 in Horween Brown Nut Cypress only confirm the brand’s place in the upper echelons of the stitchdown sphere.
The Viberg Service Boot 2040 BCT Brown Nut in Cypress are ideal for the oncoming spring season. Why you might ask? This warm brown hue is just in time for the sunny season, without being too loud, like some burgundies and other reddish hues can be. These are in goldilocks territory – just take a look at the close-ups. The fact that Viberg went ahead and antiqued the finish of the leather means you don’t have to break your back trying to patinate these, either.
Aside from being crafted from such a nice shade of robust Horween leather, they’re hand-made in small batches within Viberg’s Canada-based boot factory. Details helping them to set them apart from the pack include classic 2040 Service Boot last, tonal coffee metal eyelets, Dr. Sole Supergrip half sole, re-soleable stitchdown construction, gusseted tongue, leather toe puff, brown laces, and more.
Available for $898 from Viberg.
