Viberg Service Boot in C.F. Stead Snuff Naked KuduBy varnu • April 5, 2025"These were my most worn boot during the dome, but they didn't see daily wear. If I was had a walking destination, a long weekend, a casual work trip or cabin rental, these were on my feet and saw a diversity of wear...."Read the full review
Nicks Stationmasters- best engineers out there!
Nicks StationMaster in Seidel 1964 Tan SmoothBy 32oz_denim • April 5, 2025"These guys have spent most of their hours kicking around Perennial Artisan Ales in St. Louis, MO and it’d probably be easier to describe what they haven’t seen. I mainly manage our barrel aging program as well as maintaining and fixing equipment and systems, but you’ll find me doing just about any job in the brewery as the operations manager. As a small team, I still spend plenty of days brewing, cellaring, and packaging beer to get the job done. It’s hot, humid, wet, and often dirty work. This winter was pretty gnarly with a ton more snow and ice than usual- whoda thought Vibram 700 isn’t ideal for ice? whoops. They’ve also spent plenty of time outdoors wandering around the woods and our family farm chasing youngins. There is endless amounts of scuffing from the brewery, but I’m sure feral toddler feet have left their mark as well...."Read the full review
Zip it.
Viberg Herald in Eco Veg Fallow Suede RoughoutBy chokkero • April 5, 2025"I picked these in anticipation of rushing out the door more often this year and knowing I'd be taking them off a lot in Indonesia. Since wearing them, there have been fewer close-call doggy accidents. I also like to zip it. Or tell people to Zzzip it. Stop rushing me, they're boots but I just needa zip it. Zzip it.
Started out with countless dog walks and hikes in drizzly Seattle before driving down through Oregon and SF to reach Los Angeles's dry cold.
On the way down and back up, I wore the boots through every rest stop (since my wife and I were rating as many as we could). Ended up in mud, ice, and dust. Out in LA, I wore them to the sandy beaches.
Flew out to Taiwan for family gatherings and squeezed in a bunch of sightseeing. Then I was off to humid and hot Indonesia in the same boots and started climbing onto rooftops to help move equipment for solar panels. Wore them into offices, on more mopeds--even ventured into a hidden cafe underneath a freeway.
Back to Taiwan, I stepped in countless hospital liquids taking care of my grandfather.
The boots mysteriously stayed pretty clean without much more than quick pat downs and the occasional wipe for mud and liquids on the soles. I don't let mud stay on my boots overnight ...."Read the full review

My Beloved Whites Packers
White's Packer in Seidel Red Dog Oil TanBy stepped_in_dookie_again • April 5, 2025"These have been my go to boots for everything. Almost daily wear. These boots shined where ankle support was needed.
Some activities:
- Daily walks along a short rocky trail with my three 70lb - 80lbs dogs. Walking two dogs or one hyper Weimaraner at a time. At minimum four times a day. A lot of the scratches/scrapesn you see are from these walks.
The ankle support and tough Red Dog leather kept me protected on these walks. For example, when my dogs would charge a stray cat/squirrel and pull me unwillingly to join the cause, it was typically into rocks or branches and but thankfully I fell on my face because of the ankle support.
I tried the same walk in sandals once, and apparently the sides of my bare feet don’t enjoy rocks. Weird
- Helped my friend move during a rainstorm carrying heavy stuff up to the third floor
- Two Metal shows and several moshpits. Ankle support was great and kept standing in the pits. The tall heel helped me see above crowds to see the bands (me at 5’ 9” any extra height is welcomed)
- Outdoor food festival, many outdoor breweries and food trucks
- Local fantasy themed pro-wrestling show. Tall heel again helped see the action again
- Trip back home to San Francisco Bay Area and traversing the hills of SF the tall heel made walking up hills easier
- Trips to museums
- Visited my friends farm, fed some cows. It was great
- Chilled at my local coffee shop working on my laptop many times
- Most importantly: wore them to hang with friends that would listen to me monologue about the history of the packer boots and why I think they’re so cool..."Read the full review

Double Stitchdown, one piece upper
Peter Limmer & Sons Custom Model in Seidel Trail Crazy HorseBy LimmerGuy • April 5, 2025"These were a late entry for a double dome, and while I didn’t where them as often as dome shoes, they did see a lot of days in the shop and abound town during the winter. The Dr. Sole outsole limited there outdoor use during the often iced winter months.
They were a comfortable work shop shop and transitioned well to casual trips to the city...."Read the full review
