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 Chicago’s fifth-generation Horween Tannery, these exceptional stitchdown boots feature a beautiful hand rubbed finish.

Chromexcel®, known for its unique pull-up, has been produced by Horween for over 100 years. The recipe involves chrome and vegetable tanning and requires 89 individual steps and a minimum of 28 days to complete. The result is an incredibly durable leather with a refined & rugged finish that gets better with age. 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, gun metal eyelets and Ridgeway outsoles, which feature thick, protruding lugs and large ridge channels that offer great traction and stability.

Fit Notes: 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.
