[Worn] Viberg for Withered Fig Mushroom Chamois RO 145 Oxford - Seven Month Review

Viberg Mushroom Chamois Roughout 145 Oxford is our first shoe we introduced back in October 2018. In line with our first few make-ups, we’ve stuck to the 1035 last to continue servicing the 1035 community, who can’t get enough of that extra space in the toe box. Similarly, we felt like the 145 Oxford has been overlooked in the overall Viberg line-up, and taking inspiration from some folks on Instagram who have the Viberg 145 Oxford …

Viberg Boot Interview - From 1931, A Namesake Boot Manufacturer

Introducing Viberg for Withered Fig

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 …
