Description

The Viberg Sepia Janus Calf Suede Navvy Boot is inspired by derby boot patterns from the early 20th century when industrial shoemaking peaked in England and North America. This pattern is designed for effortless styling with a two-piece upper and a closed eyestay to quarter stitch for subtly enhanced detail on a cleanly configured, fully functional boot. This Viberg limited edition uses Janus Calf Suede, regarded as the finest suede in the world, tanned by the storied C.F. Stead. This unique recipe uses full-weight calf butts hand-selected for their consistency and tension that are aniline dyed and finished with a finely sanded nap that has an unmatched natural luster and luxuriously soft hand that will perform in the worst of conditions. Molded on the Navy issue 1940 Last to provide an anatomical military-dress silhouette, this boot is fully lined with French Binding. It is complemented with blind eyelets, coffee speed hooks, and an antique finished leather storm welt with a scalloped edge, all atop a French Leather sole that will form to any gait. The Dr. Sole Star rubber heel enables traction in this elevated resource for any rotation. Setting the bar even higher, this boot leverages Goodyear welting using traditional techniques and channeled insoles produced by Viberg's exacting craftspeople. The result is a lifetime piece that will withstand the elements in a distinctive style and evolve for the modern-leaning and vintage-inspired alike.
