It’s been a hot second since we’ve dropped our last Viberg for Withered Fig, the Mushroom Chamois Roughout 145 Oxford. The response to our first two Vibergs has been huge for us, and we continue to be floored by the support. A big thanks to all of you who support Withered Fig and make this happen.

It truly is an honor to bring in our first footwear brand, and one of the most well-known high-end bootmakers out there – Viberg. Since 1931, Viberg has been producing high-quality work boots for the everyday working man. Over time, they eventually introduced boots that were geared more towards the every day stylish man, rather than the utilitarian man that required certain details such as steel toes for practical reasons. However, when they moved into …
Ian and I made a quick two-day trip up to NYC to attend our first Market Week from July 17-18.
