White Cristy Sole | LIFE TIME GEAR

2 months ago i did a post about my VIBERG SERVICE BOOT 1950 in black with a DAINITE SOLE. todays #26 boot of my collection is the same boot just brown colored with another sole, the WHITE CRISTY VIBRAM 4014. as the pics show, i did not wear this boot so often. i prefer the black SERVICE BOOT with its DAINITE SOLE much more. i think this sole fits the look of the boot much better. the #4014 is comfortable but it looks like a contemporary compromise to me. when i wear this boot sometimes i think if i wear a hybrid between a RED WING BOOT and a VIBERG. for sure this VIBERG SERVICE BOOT is a really perfect and best made boot but not my favorite one. if it might be yours, you can get it @ volls.de. pics | LTG

2 years ago it began with a chukka, the icon ENGINEER BOOT style #83 and the well known HIKER BOOT #66: VIBERG at volls, darmstadt, germany. these days KLAUS got to the next level in VIBERG boots. two different SERVICE BOOTS in two different colors and sole combinations just arrived and complete the actual line up now. and KLAUS’ order was a really good decision because the 1940 and 1950 SERVICE BOOTS are at least iconic as the VIBERG #83 and #66 are. so awesome that i just took one with me when i saw the boots the first time in the shop. it is the brown 1950 SERVICE BOOT with the white #4014 VIBRAM cristy sole. and i love the sprung-up toe so much. with all my other boots i am working for such a toe look – the 1950 SERVICE BOOT got it when you buy it and the boot is so unbelievable comfortable. maybe you think the price is high, it is indeed, but believe me, this boot is LIFE TIME GEAR. put it on and you’ll stand and walk like you never did before. i am really crazy about it. and i think the black 1950 will find the way to my cupboard too. but i have to sell a boot from my collection without having pricks of conscience. for more information about the boots check volls.de . more details about my 1950 SERVICE BOOT next week as a part of my LTG boot & shoe collection series. photos | LTG
