Description

The Viberg x Division Road Badalassi Cognac Vachetta Minerva Service Boot is an updated version of Viberg’s original work boot, designed by company founder Edwin Viberg in 1931 and inspired by a standard issue military boot pattern used by several nations during WWII. This exclusive-to-Division Road Service Boot uses hand-selected double cow shoulders with a clean and firm grain, which are vegetable-tanned in Italy by Badalassi Carlo Tannery. Their signature premium recipe, Vachetta Minerva, uses vegetable tannins and bark for environmentally friendly tanning that is full aniline drum dyed and hand stuffed with an exclusive Italian fat wax ingredient that enhances the dutiful hides with a luxurious feel and allows an unmatched, rich patina to develop. Molded on the 310 Last pulled from archive work boot forms with a high-profile vamp and rockabilly upturned toe, this functional heritage throwback boot is complemented with a cap toe, antique copper bronze eyelets, and a hand antiqued leather midsole atop a reproduction Dr. Sole Supergrip Split Sole and sculpted heel for an elegant new-vintage design. Each piece is carefully assembled by exacting Viberg craftspeople using stitchdown construction. This is perfected footwear designed for those seeking a collectible Service Boot that will age and evolve uniquely to the wearer while remaining timeless and indispensable within any vintage-inspired, modern wardrobe.
