Owner of Dale’s Leatherworks. Style enthusiast, doing mostly consumer reviews of high quality items I love including boots/shoes (Alden, Grantstone, Viberg, Truman Boots), denim, suits, belts, watches, and other leather goods. Looking to share my ideas/insights into the things I've collected over the years, to show how they age, and discuss my discoveries along the way.

Great comparison, very interesting. As you mentioned, Viberg use UK sizing, that’s also the case in their widths. Viberg’s E width is the same as a US D.
I just wasted 5 mins of my lifespan watching videos comparing Viberg box "new" and "old".
It’s a comparison video
I think the fact that the old boots are shorter is just due to the creased leather so they aren’t perfectly straight up 6:23
That could very well be the case time will tell
Do you know when they made the switch? Mine from 2019 seem to be in between your old one and new ones
I have no idea as I haven’t tracked it closely but they seem to be doing things gradually
Bouth are so beautiful. I really appreciate Viberg design through the years both old and new one. I do own 2020 Bastions and i hope to get 2040 at some point
Great to see differences. I newer liked VB logo though. I know it is super subjective
Hi Man. I am starting my boot journey. I want to get a boot that will last me a very2x long time with patina. I have my eye on a Redwing IR but the vibergs looks too cool. Any thoughts? So i just yolo on the vibergs?
Viberg is 100% worth it once you understand your size and can nail it from the outset I don’t think you’d be disappointed
Drew’s boots does all leather, including the toe puff, shank, and heel. $379 to $700? , however all Mexican build, but very hardy looking. I believe the upper is 6 to 8 oz. They mold the arches of the insole, and mid-sole. Your reading of the leather structured toe puff reminded me of theirs. Definitely worth a look. That Horween brown with the more round toe bump is really nice.
Viberg 2030 Service Boot. Brown Chromexcel. Iconic, classy and absolutely ready for anything.
Glue could smell.
Yes this is different though
Well done and agree. The last for some reason keeps changing on me…
Awesome video dale! I am in the same boat with my himel collaboration Canadian officer boots where I am a double E width and that it goes with military sizing at the time but the last is only offered in a single E.
Thanks so much Cam for your insights and your continued support!!!
Awesome boots! I really miss my 2030 service boots!! I will consider getting them again! Thanks Dale
I know where they are 😂😂😂
I've always wanted a Viberg Svc boot. However, I wanted to go to Canada or a retailer to get sized. Hearing that the collapsed toe is no longer makes me avoid it. That was the draw for me.
That old boot is the keeper. IMHO.
how can any manufacturer change the parameters of a spec to something different without changing the name/SKU?! Should they need to evolve to keep up with the current demand, they should call it 2031 last? Tell me if I am being pentadic?
It’s still their patented service boot so I guess they make the rules lol!
Great video Dale. I always hear about Viberg changes over the years and see differences between the 2022 310 I bought and a late 2023 pair. It’s interesting to see how much changed with the 2030. That old box was dope.
Oh this is the same thing I noticed with the 310. It seems to be getting narrower.
A lot of the British sized footwear has the normal width size as E but that in America would be D.
LMAO you are making the clowns in viberg talking on the stitchdown discord lose their minds. These pretentious douchebags think they know more about how your boots feel than you, who has been wearing them for 10 years.
Great to see the comparison of what has remained the same and what has changed Dale! Very in-depth and I will be curious how the new boots will fit overall compared to the old boots? Time will tell of course and at least CXL tends to be a gentle break in. For as large of a collection as you do have you most certainly put those old 2030's through their paces! May they find a great home with their new owner!
Thanks my friend!!!
I got two pairs and both of them sqeaked within 25 miles.
So shit quality for such high prices.
@@thesheepthemightythecrazy i wouldn’t say that exactly. Amazing quality with the best materials but glued by somebody who doesn’t care at all. I had never seen such nice stitching, cxl, and materials in one boot and I have other great boots. Whites, GS, RMs, Parkhurst, Alden. The boot just comes loose between the midsole and insole and renders an extremely high end product unwearable. Its remarkable how stupid this is
@@playingcalm5116 Would viberg repair it for free? That is a damn shame and expensive.
I’m having the same issue with my Vibergs. Both are squeaking very badly. It’s coming from within the sole layers around the ball of my foot. It’s driving me crazy.
1/2 size in Viberg is huge. I had to order and return a pair before i got it right. I'm 8D in Iron Ranger. A 7E in Viberg. Brooklyn Clothing has an exclusive on this captoe single stiching. They are the only ones you can get it from. Some other dealers have the BCT.
This is very interesting. I'm an 8D iron ranger and a 8.5D on the 2030 last. What's your brannock device size?
Ohhhh awesome video. 🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏can’t wait to watch this!!!!
Music doesn’t really fit a boot video.
I’ll use K-pop next time
Hi ! I'm always watching the video. I really want Codoban boots. I think you have a relationship with Wyatt, so please ask me when the Codoban boots will come out. Please.
IMHO, the JLB have the way more balanced last and overall shape. The Renavgoods are out of proportion to me. Regarding the sizing: I would not say, go half down. I would rather claim: Go with your Red Wing, Alden, etc. size. I own two pairs of JLBs, the M-43 and the Engineers in natural CXL. Same size as my 875 Moctoes or Aldens. Toe box is snug and will require some work, but larger, these boots would have too roomy heels.
Nice review!
You are going through some weird phase in life....the intro music is a pain in the ear...
Been using these beats for 4 years where you been!?
I don’t think the Essex patinas as well as the Saddle tan. I wish GS would do a lug Brass boot in saddle tan. I would love a brass boot with a leather sole too.
So here's my take. I would buy the Luosjiet $240 copy over the original $655 Alden. But I would spend the extra $120 and buy the original Redwing Iron Ranger at $360 over the $240 Luosjiet copy.
$655 is up there towards Nicks territory.....and heading toward Viberg. I agree I think it's a bit overpriced.
John Lofgren MSRP for his boots $1200 and up the average blue collard men or women can't invest a $1500 with inflations so hi
Dale who pays for the boots that your selling to the viewer ? Because after watching the channel for 2 years now and I have 25 pairs of PNW and Grant stones in my collection my wife was going to divorce me over 25 pairs because I pay for my boots ! And what I seen and herd on the you tube you have 125-150 pairs Who is paying for all the boots that your showing because the cost is over $125 K in boots and you have a family what do u do for a living ? Or yours getting padded for the reviews the boots ?
do u wear any dress shoes?
Great comparison Dale, the patina on the Renavgoods is amazing
really nice im waiting for these to come back in stock
Came here for a truman boot review. Not your rucksacks
I’ll issue your refund immediately
Couldn’t take the heat music. Enjoy your bids otherwise
Nice boot, engineer boots are pretty cool. My only gripe is the weight of the boots, that's why I mostly wear 6" service boots, don't need the extra weight. I may one day pick up a engineer boot only for casual use.
>Cue the annoying synthwave music Annoying to my neighbours you mean.
😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love John Lofgrens I only hope to own a pair someday. They are my ultimate footwear piece. Though I will say I really like the decorative stitching on your boots much more. If I could get that on a pair of JL’s I would probably wet my pants. 😅
Wouldn’t we all! 😂
So I just got a pair of these for 25 % off, with leather soles. I'm shocked at how nice they are. The fit is roomy in the toes, the cxl looks really good, stitching is really good. The fit reminds me of trickers sort of, only with more room in the toe-box. I definitely like. I dunno if I'd go hiking in them, but they feel like an easy boot to just wear day-to-day.
How do you condition Shinki Horsehide? Do you just use Venetian on these? The depth of color is amazing
Bick 4 or venetian
I haven’t conditioned them yet but when the time comes probably Venetian but we’ll see
I feel like I want to buy the thick ones and make sandals with it.
I'd love to work for Truman if i lived nearby. I'm in Indiana unfortunately. Once my fiance finishes med school, I plan on getting more seriously into cobbling. I'm on my 3rd pair of Truman's now. I bought their Olive Waxed Flesh on their 79 last just yesterday. 🥳🙏
How can i contact you on your site about purchase questions😊
Best looking moc toe hands down. Awesome boot.
I just got these on the on sale section of the GS web page and wow! They’re perfect and well made like all my other GS pairs. This is my first Ottawa pair and I’m very impressed.
I have 2 pairs of Diesel's and 4 pairs of Ottawa's. 2 of them are cxl and 2 are CF stead. My favorite style boots but I also love the Diesel's.
Vince is such a nice guy. I have purchased several pairs of Truman boots and I am not of the opinion that they were unpleasant to buy from. However I never felt appreciated. Considering their dedication to their product, I would think that they would invest some more in their relationship with their customers. After all when I wear their boots I am advertising for them. As it stands I will tell admirers that I love their product but dealing with them isn't wonderful. By contrast I've ordered some Gaziano & Girling Burnhams. Granted, way more expensive. But it seems to me that Vince's company could be just a tad more like G & G.
these actually look less nice to me than the regular IRs that I don't buy.
some extra detailing but then the bulbous toe....
they survive by cutting corners and all that, apparently. so disheartening anyway?
