Victoria’s very own Viberg Boot company has just released their fall/winter collection of the highest quality work/fashion boots. The company was started in 1931 by the Viberg family who immigrated to Canada from Sweden, then relocated to set up shop on Herald St. in our hometown of Victoria BC, Canada. They have a rich history in boot making, utilizing a 218 step construction process using only the finest materials sourced from all over the globe. With the ongoing heritage brand revival right now it is nice to see one of our local companies becoming more popular in the fashion realm. Viberg boots have a solid following in Japan doing collaborations with the likes of Neighborhood. The collection is looking solid with my favourites being the hiking styles and the heelless flat soled models, especially the brown suede ones. It is really nice to see a local company with an extensive history gaining notoriety in the fashion community for what they are known for, making high quality boots.

Beautiful. I love the pull tab and the heel.
