Navvy Boot BCT — Nemesis Olmo

Viberg builds the Navvy Boot in Victoria, British Columbia, on the brand's Cantilever last, and welts the sole with a 360-degree storm welt that runs the whole way around instead of stopping at the heel. The construction is Goodyear welted, so the sole can be replaced without retiring the boot. Nemesis Olmo, the leather on this pair, is vegetable-tanned in Italy, and Viberg's own product pages name the leather line without stating a country. The company began in Shellbrook, Saskatchewan, in 1931; the workshop that builds this boot is in Victoria today.
