Viberg Service Boot in Black Veg Smooth Horsebutt: $825

This limited-edition service boot comes on the Viberg 2040 last in a Maryam horsebutt with some serious teacore potential, thanks to the matte black pigment dye on the leather’s surface that will wear away over time. Built with a stitchdown construction on Ridgeway soles. Just a few sizes remaining for this one.

Viberg x Withered Fig Slipper in Brown Oiled Calf: $580

A timeless brown slipper with leather from C.F. Stead, built on the 2030 last with some comfy Lactae Hevea crepe soles. Noice.

Navy CXL, in our experience, remains less TRULY navy with heavy wear, tending to get a bit lighter in shade and more varied in its finish as the leather’s pull-up reveals itself. Point is: you can beat these silly, or keep them fresh and bold, and be very happy either way.

These murdered-out chonky Chelseas come in Horween Black CXL with a 360 storm welt and Itshide commando soles.
