Viberg Chelsea in Conceria 800 Champagne Washed Vachetta

Less is more

I thought it would be cool to start with the rawest and most natural leather possible and just see what happens. When I saw this pair in undyed, untreated, uncorrected, full grain half shoulders, it was just what I was looking for. I work as a field biologist and I wanted something that would be comfortable and practical, but would also hold up to heavy use. I wore these boots every day in some pretty harsh conditions and the leather looks better after 6 months than it did on day one. Also, FWIW, I love the scalloped welt 🙂

I live on a boat, so I don't have room for lots of different pairs of shoes. A good pair of chelseas covers all the bases. I'm not really a 'shoe guy', but when I saw this boot in this leather I thought: "OK...Let's do this!"

Compared to Other Lasts

I have a pair of size 10 in the 2050 last I picked up at a warehouse sale in Victoria. Figured 2030 would be similar.
