Side Zip

As part of Viberg's comprehensive lineup, the Side Zip represents a contemporary adaptation of traditional service boot design. The boot maintains Viberg's construction standards while offering the convenience of zipper access, making it suitable for both work applications and casual wear where quick on-off functionality is desired.

The Side Zip incorporates Viberg's established construction techniques with additional hardware to accommodate the zipper system. Each boot is hand-lasted and assembled at Viberg's Victoria, British Columbia facility using traditional tools and methods refined over decades of production experience.

Construction typically features Goodyear welt assembly, allowing the boot to be resoled when the sole wears down. The welting process involves stitching the upper leather to a leather welt strip, which is then attached to the sole. This construction method provides durability and extends the boot's serviceable life through professional resoling.

The side zipper mechanism uses heavy-duty hardware selected for reliability and longevity. The zipper placement is engineered to maintain the boot's structural integrity while providing convenient access. Quality control during assembly ensures proper alignment and function of the zipper system.

The Side Zip maintains Viberg's characteristic boot profile while incorporating the zipper closure system. The design balances traditional service boot aesthetics with modern convenience features. Construction follows Viberg's established specifications for last shape, heel height, and overall proportions.

Boot specifications include multiple leather options, sole choices, and hardware finishes available through Viberg's customization system. The side zipper design accommodates various calf circumferences while maintaining a secure fit. Professional fitting guidance ensures proper sizing to work effectively with the zipper closure system.

The Side Zip is available through Viberg Boot Manufacturing's direct sales channels and authorized retailers. Customers can specify leather type, sole options, and hardware finishes based on intended use and aesthetic preferences. The company's made-to-order system allows customization of various boot specifications.

Viberg provides sizing consultation to ensure proper fit with the side zipper configuration. The customization process includes selection of leather weight, color, sole material, and heel specifications. Production timing varies based on leather availability and current order volume.
