Horween Natural Cypress leather is very stiff and dry. It also darkens very rapidly from yellow to orange to brown.
Pros: Viberg makes the best boot period. Aesthetics, materials, designs, choices of Lasts, QA, availability, and durability.
Cons: they ain’t cheap like Redwings. ðŸ˜
Verdict: Viberg is my Brand Daddy! Never let me down and I’m always giddy and impressed with their boots! Not a single fault.
