Shell Cordovan leather uppers, vegetable tanning by Horween in Chicago. Unlined shaft, front area lined with calfskin. Leather sole. Heels of layered leather, steel nails. Outer sole of sturdy, non-slip Dainite rubber with good tread.
From Viberg in Canada.
These work boots are made by Viberg in British Colombia from exceedingly sturdy Shell Cordovan leather, tanned in Chicago by the old-established firm of Horween. You can recognize their work by the visible traces showing where the black dye was wiped on – by hand! Another feature going back to the 1930s is the long tongue (made of more supple leather) that forms a dust- and
water-resistant zone underneath the metal eyelets and gives additional stability and support to the unlined inside shaft.
