Service Boot 2030 BCT — Nemesis Cotto
The Service Boot is the leather boot Viberg is known for, made in Victoria on the 2030 last. Stitchdown sews the upper to the midsole, so it can be resoled over and over.
Viberg builds the Service Boot 2030 in Victoria, British Columbia, on the 2030 last, a pattern that traces back to a Canadian military boot. The Nemesis Cotto leather on this pair comes from an Italian tannery, and Viberg names the tannery only as part of the Badalassi line rather than by country on its own product pages. The upper is stitched straight down to the midsole, a stitchdown construction that trades flexibility for a boot built to be resoled rather than replaced. Edwin Viberg started the company in Shellbrook, Saskatchewan, in 1931, and the workshop that builds this boot is in Victoria today.
