Beautiful looking boots and a solid review! You've got great taste. I also was super fortunate enough to pick up a pair of these and they've probably been my most-complimented pair of footwear that I own.
Thanks!! And I’m so glad you picked up a pair as well! Likewise: I’ve never been complimented as much as with this pair. Wear them in good health 🍻
Amazing review for some special boots, you are making me want to baby mine!
Honestly, these have always looked to chonky to me, but I think I’m ready now, great video as always
Let me know if you have any questions, if you decide to find a pair!
Awesome pair Dave! Love the review.
Thanks as always, Matt! Always good hearing from you and seeing your collection too 🙌🏽
Dave, great video. Now I want a Viberg 310 desperately !
The Markkt sale!!!
Hey brother, you review made me buy a pair. Keep up the good work.
So glad! Super cool boots, the 310! Enjoy!
Awesome boots!
Nice nuggets bro. Keep it real!
If no one wants the pay the Viberg price for these, Nick’s had a very similar looking boot out called the Prospector. Definitely more durable and better built but not as many nice leather choices.
Nah, totally different last. As an ex-owner of pair myself I can testify that. Also I still have nightmares about the finish and attention to details with those boots. Might as well be patient, wait a couple moths and save more money and get the Vibergs, unless one is planning on using them for construction so they get trashed right away, but for casual wear nah there is no comparison.
Vibergs are over priced and are built like crap plus have bad quality control BUT the worse part is every pair you buy turns a person into a boot snob that immediately turns their focus into fashion boots ... give me a nicks veg tan falcon over any viberg any day or even a whites mp or cruiser they are better boots you'll never be satisfied with vibergs none of the leathers even patina it's one of those company's that put so much finish on every boot man hate vibergs and hate the people that buy them yall are toxic losers
Honestly at that price point people should just go with Nick's for that much money I have to go with durability but depends on what you want at the end of the day I will stay with my Urban loggers
@@MrStreetninja007 my man 🍻
Nicks has ugly heritage boots .
They certainly are the mighty Virberg..
Amazing pair! Finally saw a pair of 310s in person and I'm not sure I could wear them but they're so cool
Thanks! And you'd be surprised what you can pull off..but at the same time, no pressure! There's so many great boots out there; no need to wear them all:) ....Missed you at the meetup! Next time
@@thevintagefuture6567 took too long getting tacos and couldn't make it in time to make it back for dinner. Was gutted when I saw the traffic
@@JFANderful next time!
Correction: the Springline last is the “ammo boot” (actually a British climbing boot), the Dayton last is the Toughie Toe (a mid-century work boot)
I'm in the same 310 boat
These would be good for the dome!
That extreme sprung toe looks like my neighborhood skate park. I agree that the 5 eyelets balance out the toe box and is pleasing to my eye. More aestically appealing in hand than on feet?...perhaps(?)
Hahaha yeah, like a half pipe! And yeah, no one notices 5 vs 7 eyes when on foot- great point! But it makes me feel good about them LOL
the apex predator of boot lasts!!! This is the Eiffel Tower, Rachmaninoff's Third, the Pieta. It's completely elegant, it's bafflingly beautiful, and it's capable of reducing the population of any standing structure to zero. I call it "The 310"
🤣🤣🤣 this comment wins 🍻 So epic! That’s what I should have said….Sheesh, I gotta have you write all my intros as well as yours 🤷🏽♂️🍻😂 But yeah, it really is a monstrous last haha
@@thevintagefuture6567 i wish i wrote that! it was a line from iron man 2!! X-D
@@DalesLeatherworks oh yeah!! Lol forgot about that part
caught your mention of julian boots. thought i pretty much knew all the usa makers. any insights on their boots?
Yeah! I haven’t used them myself, but I have several friends who have several pairs. And Brett Viberg consistently speaks highly of them. They are comparable to Viberg in quality, perhaps slightly better in some ways. That said, a downside is that they don’t have nearly as much selection as Viberg. Julian himself is French I believe, and very artsy and particular with details. The place is family run. The boots look very classic, and as such are polarizing; they feature sprung toes and sometimes bump toes. Their famous models are the Bowery Boot, the Cornish Miner and others. They have gotten some attention from celebrities such as David Beckham. I’ll probably pick up a pair in years to come. Pricing is also comparable to Viberg, depending on which options you get. Hope that helps, as a basic description from someone who hasn’t worn them🙏🏽
Leprechaun is looking for his boots!
😂 yeah, these could definitely fit that bill. But I love them anyways! Haha
I have this leather but in the 1035 last. It’s a great color. Hope it patinas well.
Awesome! Mine are aging nicely already; I hope yours are too! It’s a fantastic leather to be sure 👍🏽
@@thevintagefuture6567 I think both the 310 & 1035 came out around the same time, no? Yes I’m having fun breaking them in. Snagged mine at the Viberg sample sale in NYC. Also snagged some nice bourbon shell boots in 1035, a pair of bluchers and a pair burnt Dublin in 2030.
@@bfettrules1239 whoa!! You scored at that sale!…The story is, they tried to make a bunch of 310s like mine, with horsebutt, but the thick leather wouldn’t go over the 310 toe well. So they changed course mid-production and made a bunch of 1035s out of that same leather instead (which is what you got). That’s fabulous- 1035 is amazing, and a much more versatile boot in the long haul. You got a sweet pair 🍻
@@thevintagefuture6567 oh. Makes sense. The sample sale has been going on for about 8 or 9 years now. They didn’t have it 2 and 3 years ago because of the Wuhan virus. This past February was when it was restarted. Looking forward to this February. Your boots rock. Cheers.
Those are pretty flash looking boots.
Haha yeah 😄 I love them
Counterpoint: A softer leather shouldn't cause much resistance for the toe structure, it will want to just go with whatever direction it's being pulled in. So the toe puff shouldn't have trouble keeping cxl, or as in my 310's a moose hide, in that pronounced shape, even though it will want to drape on top. It sounds like the issue with your olive WF pair was the toe puff wasn't sturdy enough, not necessarily the upper leather. It does make sense that a firmer leather will want to stay in the shape of the last, but I hear there were a lot of lasting issues with those HBs on the 310.
This is a great counterpoint actually. I made it too simple in the video. For sure, a super hard toe puff would make any leather stay where it should. So thanks for that….I guess what I was trying to point out is that with horsebutt, if the toe puff suddenly disappeared, it would keep its shape much better, but in the same scenario with CXL, the leather would collapse more drastically. So the CXL is ultra dependent on a toe structure, and also sags a bit in the vamp where there is no toe structure…..Anyways, point taken. Should have been more descriptive there for sure 👍🏽
Man I need a 310..... One day the perfect one will be released, and I won't be able to resist.
Beautiful boots! Other than aesthetics, is there a purpose for the sprung and bump toe?
They both were used in 1930s workwear, where the bump toe would provide additional toe room for all day wear and comfort and the sprung toe would reduce slippage in an industrial environment with lots of debris on the floor. However, nowadays, it’s just aesthetics, a holdover homage to the past. (Edit: For more info on where this all started, see comments from other user below!)
@@thevintagefuture6567 The sprung toe & bump toe are both considerably older than the 1930's. Both feature in traditional Derbyshire fell/work boots going back to at least the late 18th century. The sprung toe was designed to aid in hill walking, usually to a mine, the bump toe to help protect the toes from rocks & other debris in the mines.
@@gchampi2 oh wow, I knew of the prevalence of these in the 1930s but didn’t know it predates this. Thank you for the correction. Now I’m interested to read up on this more….and now that you mention this, I’m remembering that Julian Boots has one of these boots called the “Cornish Miner”. That makes so much more sense now, why it would be named that

Hey dude, very nice video. What's the shop in Germany where you get those ? I'm gonna check it !
Kentaurus! You can email Stefan there
@@thevintagefuture6567 Thanks bro
@@Neru-6 for sure! And of course you can also order from Viberg .com
@@thevintagefuture6567 I live in France next to the german border, I think it's less expansive to order them in germany :p
@@Neru-6 awesome! 14 oz in Berlin sometimes has Viberg 310 too
Gotta ask how you are getting along with these?
Hey, Ashwin! They’re aging nicely! Gotta remember to do an update video in the coming months. They’ve darkened a lot. There’s one mud stain unfortunately, but I brushed it in really good so that it blends in. I try to baby these, so that was an accident haha
where can I buy them ? I live in Canada.
These exact ones aren’t available, but there are many Viberg boots you can buy. Check the following places (or their websites).
Either directly from Viberg in BC….or others in Canada:
Brooklyn Clothing in Calgary
Shop Lost Found
Miloh Shop
Or in the US:
Standard and Strange
Division Road
Withered Fig
There are others, but I like these the most.
My viberg 2030 is size 7, what is the size for viberg 310 if I buy it ?
You buy same size in both 2030 and 310
@@thevintagefuture6567 thank you :)
you are right！ 310 is size 7
@@leolupei awesome! Which ones did you get?
@@thevintagefuture6567 Rowdy Dachshund and Wooly Brown, I very like them
If you like those, you might want to take a look at William Lennon boots ( www.rufflander.co.uk/brands/william-lennon/ ). They produce very similar designs, for considerably less $$. If the 310's were based on a Springline last, I wouldn't be surprised to find that the last was a Lennon design. MTO, so there's a bit of a wait involved, but they are open to requests as to leather & sole types, etc. Fancy a pair in petrol blue Badalassi? Ask, they are happy to oblige - although, they are on holiday at the moment, so wait until Aug 9th. Also, they are made in the last traditional bootmaking factory in Derbyshire, established in 1904. Seriously stompy an' well 'ard...
Loake's Hebden boot is another similar design, but with a less extreme bump - a more refined take. Current production, so available anywhere Loake are sold (or direct), Northamptonshire made, slightly more expensive than the Lennons, but still less than Viberg...
Just a couple of options... G
Thanks! I really appreciate this! For this one, I appreciate how extreme the 310 is as compared to those others; however, in the future I will definitely be checking out those ones you suggested. I’m grateful, as I always love hearing about other companies and styles! Cheers
@@thevintagefuture6567 If you want extreme, check out the X10D by Lennon. Fully sprung, bump toe, lace to toe, triple leather soles, hobnails & horseshoe heels. They are like stepping back 100+ years...
www.rufflander.co.uk/shop/heritage-footwear/shepherds-boots/x10d-fell-boots/
Possibly not the most practical boot for everyday wear, especially if you encounter wooden flooring on a regular basis - or concrete, asphalt, terrazzo/polished stone, vinyl, carpet... Okay, they are impractical as all getout if you have to interact with the modern world's common flooring choices, but for walking where they were designed to go - unmade tracks and fields - they are great. Extreme? Oh yeah. Any boot you can't wear in 99% of modern environments for fear of taking chunks out of the floor ("soft" surfaces) or going arse-over-teakettle ("hard" surfaces) is, by definition, pretty d@mn extreme...
Thankfully, they also produce a version with a Viberg lug sole. Not as extreme, but a whole lot more practical.
Cheers... G
@@gchampi2 on the one hand, I really like this makeup you're showing me here. It's very attractive and unique. However, I still feel like the 310 looks more extreme. Of course it's subjective; just saying the 310 looks nuts while this one looks unique but not outlandishly extreme. As always, I love all your suggestions - please keep them coming, as you're genuinely expanding my horizons to see footwear no one else has told me about! This X10D is a really arresting boot in its own right!
really solid boots but not for me..i am patiently waiting for the nicks boots 6months review..
I sold them 😭 But I hope to get more and do regular updates when I do
I feel like this style needs a Cuban heel instead of a block heel.
This is actually a woodsman/logger heel, not a block heel! But yeah, a Cuban could be interesting. Personally, I still prefer the woodsman, but I see what you mean, the Cuban could be a nice touch 👍🏽
@@thevintagefuture6567 Yeah, hard to tell by the some of the angles but I see what you mean. Very subtle taper. Thanks for clarifying.
@@mpalen19 no problem! Good idea though 👍🏽
They sorta look like this Dutch wooden clogs.
😂 they totally do! Very cool 🤌🏽
@@thevintagefuture6567 Ya, after looking at the 310 Last boots for the past month, I think I need a pair. Uggg.
@@EDHBlvd they’re great! Once on-foot, they actually don’t look as insane as it would seem, which is what I think most people are timid about.
@@thevintagefuture6567 I can’t let go of these 310’s. I must get a pair!
@@EDHBlvd 😂 they have a way of gripping you for sure! Hahaha
it looks rough. The front should have been sharper. I don't like
True- this is why they cancelled this whole run. Horsebutt doesn’t last over that front well. It’s definitely not perfect and clean, as you said. But I love it for what it is; thankful to own this rare attempt.
Americana by nicks is like 2030
they look like clown shoes
😂 I can totally see how you could say that. I love them 🤷🏽♂️
The pronounced toe cap and leather coloring got my attention looks sturdy and robust 🔥📛👨🚒🧯
