Viberg Service Boot

Viberg is a family-owned footwear manufacturer that has become a cornerstone of the heritage workwear and luxury boot industry. Founded in 1931 by Ed Viberg, the company initially focused on specialized boots for industrial workers, particularly loggers in Western Canada. The brand is renowned for its commitment to traditional craftsmanship, utilizing high-specification materials like Chromexcel leather from the Horween Tannery and employing complex construction methods such as stitchdown and Goodyear welting.

While the brand's roots are firmly planted in industrial utility, it successfully transitioned into the fashion world under the leadership of the third generation of the Viberg family. The Service Boot, based on an original 1931 design used by the Canadian military, has become its most iconic silhouette. Every pair of Viberg boots continues to be manufactured in their factory located in Victoria, British Columbia, maintaining a legacy of domestic production that spans nearly a century. The company remains privately held by the Viberg family, ensuring that their standards of quality and construction are preserved without the influence of large corporate conglomerates.
