Every boot connoisseur should own a pair of natural chromexcel, and I’d have a hard time recommending anyone but Viberg. Their timeless styling and quality construction make it a boot you could wear for a lifetime. I was hoping to end up with a patina similar to the 2022 PT winner, and while I can tell it’s well on its way, it’s going to take a while longer for me. The trade-off to the superior materials and construction is that this is a heavy boot that can be tough to break in. Styling is very subjective, but I felt like this was not necessarily the type of boot that could “go with anything”. Its slim silhouette and robust heel made it tough to pull off with a casual jeans/t-shirt outfit. However, I thought it looked very smart with a business-casual, or even church Sunday semi-formal look.
