The Friday Find: These Viberg Service Boots are an Investment-Level Pair Worth Every Penny

It’s critical, at least in this day and age (in this economy!) to know when to level up your footwear game and your menswear rotation in general with the types of pieces you can truly invest in and wear for years — yes, years — on end. Only a choice few brands truly pass muster in that regard as far as high-quality, dependable, durable gear is concerned, a test that becomes all the more critical when it comes down to the footwear you lace up every single days.

Yes, the right pair of exceptionally high-quality, handmade footwear can be a true gamechanger in every sense of the word — when you lace up some of the best boots for men, like a wonderfully well-made set of Viberg men’s boots, the difference is clear in each and every stitch.

Viberg boasts exceptional Canadian heritage dating back to the 1930s, especially the Viberg Service Boot, an icon from the company and perhaps the gold standard as far as derby-style boots are concerned. In fact, as Viberg says of the incredibly well-made, remarkably tough and reliable Viberg Service Boots, the pattern for these boots “is a classic 6″ derby boot, which is one of the most versatile patterns available,” with deep roots for hard work outside, as the company further notes.

The style remains as rugged and hard-wearing as ever, featuring the company’s “nailed construction” for a sturdy outsole and workwear-approved performance.

In fact, with the modern rendition of the Viberg Service Boots, the company still does things the old-fashioned way, a true must when it comes to consistently crafting the best boots for men. They use stitchdown construction for a hard-wearing outer vamp that delivers weather resistance underfoot, while the Viberg Service Boots in their many handsome, essential and stylish leathers (like the Natural Chromexcel leather used here) are also finished with premium hardware and the company’s distinctive brown ridgeway outsole for added traction.

To say that this legendary Canadian and Pacific Northwest company considered every detail when it comes to the must-buy Viberg Service Boots is perhaps an understatement. And while the Viberg Service Boots are certainly an investment at more than $1,000, they’re the kind of boots made to be worn consistently on the daily (if your dress code and schedule allows, that is). Find yourself a one-of-a-kind set of the best boots for men via the Viberg Service Boots, my friends.

The Friday Find: These Viberg Service Boots Are Some of the Most Well-Made Boots on the Market, Period

In my line of work — curating this Brooklyn style blog and writing about some of the finest menswear brands on the planet for a range of sites in this #FreelanceLife — there are simple pieces I come across that warrant a double-take or a third take, at that. Viberg men’s boots have long fit the bill in that regard, representing the pinnacle of craftsmanship as far as fine footwear is concerned, and then some.

Made in the Great Wild North (Canada, to you) in a 3rd-generation, family-owned factory, the story of iconic and remarkably well-made Viberg men’s boots dates back decades. It’s a story of legendary boots, renowned for their toughness (and now their modern style appeal), and a story of harnessing the power of exceptional leather quality and distinctive Goodyear Welt construction featuring its own take on a heavyweight leather insole.

And across the decades, certain Viberg boot styles have stood alone, like the Viberg Service Boots — the very pair of boots that brings us here today. In my experience wearing Viberg men’s boots, that construction and quality allows the boots to mold to your feet over time while remaining incredibly durable inside and out.

Of course, the newest pair of eye-catching Viberg Service Boots fits the bill quite nicely in matters of stunning good looks and exceptional design.

Made with C.F. Stead’s Naked Kudu leather that should develop an incredible patina over time, these boots are assuredly worth the higher price tag, boasting the kind of investment-level quality and production you simply can’t find many places these days. Naturally, that makes the newest pair of Viberg Service Boots quite worthy of our ongoing Friday Find series.

Finished with a rugged Commando outsole for the ultimate in traction, these are handsome leather boots as worthy of a pair of wool dress trousers and your new favorite shawl cardigan as they are dark indigo jeans and a thermal henley — from there, let your imagination run wild, since you’ll want to get as much wear as possible out of your new go-to leather boots.

A rugged pair of boots you would do well to invest in now — yep, even in summer.

In spite of the heat of the summer, we’re back at it today on The Style Guide, and yes, you’re absolutely right that I’m calling for you to buy some of the best men’s boots around, the Viberg Service Boots … despite the fact that it’s July. You’re likely more interested in the best sneakers to wear right now, but that doesn’t mean your favorite leather boots should be relegated to the back of your closet. No, sir.

But I digress. Why are the Viberg Service Boots some of the best boots on the market right now? Well, the quantity can be scarce as heck to find — that’s gotta mean something, right? It also comes down to quality, construction and toughness — something Viberg as a brand offers in spades (in fact, you might recognize Viberg from my Instagram).

At any rate, if you haven’t yet given the brand a chance, now is as good a time to start as any. The handsome, beautifully made Viberg Service Boots feature U.S.-sourced, oil-tanned roughout leather that’ll age very, very nicely over time. And on another note: The wheat color looks plain great with plenty of your favorite style essentials, everything from indigo denim to olive chinos. In terms of other specs, the resoleable stitchdown construction on the Service Boots also lends them an extra touch of durability and quality that really can’t be topped. The Viberg Service Boots are finished off with brass tacks from England, plus a heavyweight insole from Spain and some pretty stylish, rugged leather across the board. In my humble opinion, that makes the Viberg Service Boots an absolutely essential purchase … even in the middle of July. That’s all there is to it!
