    You mean the 3rd worst thing about them, because as we all know being loafers counts for 2 terrible things. I'm with you and definitely can't stand loafers, but I am also somebody with no use for dress shoes. If I'm not wearing boots I'm wearing my Woobies sneakers, and if I wanted something more traditional I'd probably go with a rough out Jim Green Vellie which is probably a perfect workshop shoe.

    Im not sure about Adidas either. My last pair of samba shoes sucked horribly in every respect. My first pair last over a year. And when I bought my swedish boots from the seventies, they smelled horribly for weeks. The smell eventually went away with lots of use. And definitely stay away from cheap China crap. Very cool video.

    I have been sent hurtling down a rabbit hole of shoes, all day today, because of this video. I've discovered a lot of new terms, but more importantly, just how hard it is to find shoes similar to those Vibergs (at least, in the UK). They are so nice. Do you know of other companies that make similar shoes that may be a little more accessible in terms of price point? The closest I've found are Thursday's but they seem to have some mixed reviews, despite being GYW (not that I have an issue with stitchdown construction).

    Most pacific north west boot makers (which viberg is a part of) is in the 500-700 price point. they’re beginning to release more shoes in the 200-400 range, but they tend to only be the hardcore-work-boot models (franks patriot, JK 300, Drew’s logger boot made in mexico), not the slimmer dressier ones.

    My thought too, Novesta is Slovakian and used to be a Bata factory which probably explains it, with Bata being a Czech/Czechslovakian company with multiple factories in the region that probably made very similar shoes. I don't think those shoes in the video are from that exact factory though, but probably another Bata factory. Obviously Novesta continued making very similar shoes to when they where making Bata shoes.

    Viberg boots are mid. I'm really sorry to offend anyone here who places these on a pedestal but when you're wearing the finest possible natural indigo jeans dyed in Tokushima from PBJ, with quality sewn t-shirts made in England by Sunspel (which is a mid brand) then the only footwear one should be caressing the Earth that we walk upon are a pair of Galway boots from Edward Green. Maybe its like an American thing that Viberg is seen as a "cool and hip" brand, but the boots and their proportion look so clumsy, elegance is not in their lexicon. Slip on a pair of Galways, some utahs with a dainite sole or a leather sole and you're landed. They come in at £1000 but its not normal leather and the construction is really decent. Footwear is such a Kirby Allison thing though, and we lads are almost in that territory. Good video as always, thank you. Also the only shoe I really want right now is the Edward Green Dover, that shoe is the single most handsome shoe since Warhol drew Berluti's.
