The Viberg Service Boot is a direct descendant of the original model, first introduced in 1931. This iconic design was also adopted by various nations as the standard issue military boot during WWII. However, Viberg's quintessential Service Boot draws its inspiration from the Canadian military's WWII Service Boot pattern. In an exclusive collaboration with Viberg, these exceptional stitchdown boots feature premium water-resistant tannage called Antique Phoenix sourced from C.F. Stead.

Charles F. Stead & Co. Ltd. is a renowned leather manufacturer based in Leeds, United Kingdom. Established in 1895, the company has a long and storied history in the leather industry. Charles F. Stead is particularly well-known for its expertise in tannery and leather production. They are highly regarded for their commitment to quality and craftsmanship. One of their notable contributions is their development of unique tanning processes and specialized leather finishes.

This particular makeup features their Antique Phoenix leather, exclusively made for Viberg. The Antique Phoenix brown color of these boots is a rich, aged brown shade with a distinctive vintage-inspired character. It exhibits a deep, earthy tone with subtle hints of patina and wear, giving the boots a classic and timeless appearance. This particular hue is often associated with a well-worn, rustic aesthetic, making it a popular choice for those seeking a rugged yet stylish look. Like all Viberg boots, these have undergone over 200 handcrafted steps and passed rigorous quality inspections at Viberg's Victoria workshop.

The signature double-row stitching on this Service Boot is exclusively hand-crafted using Viberg's Stitchdown construction method. Viberg has a long and storied history of producing Stitchdown logging boots suitable for the wet, harsh climate of the Pacific Northwest. The turned-out vamp causes water and dirt to be wicked away, stopping moisture from entering the boot and keeping your feet dry in almost any condition. Each pair is finished with signature refined details, such as brogue cap toes, antique brass eyelets and British-made Dainite soles, which are known for their sturdiness, durability, and slip-resistant properties.

All Viberg Service Boots are available in a single E width, and we recommend sizing down one full size from your standard US sneaker size or Brannock measurement. If you have wide feet, consider going down half a size. Viberg sizes fit more closely to uk rather than US sizing.
