How about Viberg cargo boots brand introduction

In the face of American cargo boots, which are characterized by rough and wild American, Viberg is an outlier. Viberg, which started with logging boots, squeezed out Danner in 2009 and ranked among the top three HOT BOOTS in the North American boot world, and has won the love of a large number of Aramco customers by launching co-branded models with Horween, Nigel Cabourn, Inventory Magazine, etc., and has a prominent position in the North American boot industry.
 
Viberg is a very small boot, producing only 30 pairs of boots a day, and the materials are very particular, sourcing the best raw materials from all over the world, including British copper nails, Dainite outsoles, Italian Vibram rubber outsoles, American Horween leather, after 218 processes before a pair of Viberg can be revealed. It is worth mentioning that Viberg is the only brand of its kind to use all-copper nails, which are ten times more expensive than iron nails, which prevent rust from corroding the upper leather and make the shoes more durable.
 
Viberg's most iconic cargo boot is the Service boot collection. Opened in the 1930s, Service Boot was Viberg's first collection of cargo boots, featuring military boot shapes from the 30s of the last century, with an overall style biased towards dress boots. Most of the Service boot models are made with the Stitch down process (a shoemaking process in which the heel is spiked with copper spikes, the upper is turned outward, fixed with adhesive, and then stitched to the midsole), and the leather for the insole and heel is shaped with a weight of 10 Iron, and the midsole is 11 Iron, which is quite solid. Service Boot's 2030 is the most classic last, and this last is also used in Canadian Army boots, which are popular for their pointed toe and sleek lines.
 
To celebrate the birth of Nick Horween's eldest son, Viberg made the service boot small and launched the cute children's cargo boot. If you are a trendy dad, a pair of Service boot series cargo boots with your child, paired with a leather jacket and jeans, will definitely be more eye-catching than Despicable Me.
 
The third-generation owner took over Viberg and created a more everyday Lifestyle line based on the service boot, transforming the craftsmanship into the traditional Goodyear, but maintaining the same pounds of leather in the insole, liner and midsole for extreme working conditions and daily commuting. Unfortunately, the Lifestyle collection doesn't come into a shoe, it can only be customized. Nowadays, Viberg's cargo boots are more and more inclined to the shape of dress boots, which are criticized for lacking the "masculinity" that cargo boots should have, and being a little more "feminine", and the price is inflated.
