viberg | service boot 2030 annonay vocalau nero french calf

the service boot is the foundation of viberg’s collection and was originally created by ed viberg, in the 1930s, as a work boot for farmers. reintroduced in 2008, the iconic stitchdown service boot features a double row of stitching that attaches the upper to the sole. because the upper is turned outward before being attached to the sole, stitchdown construction causes water and mud to be wicked away from the boot, keeping your feet warm and dry in any conditions.

this makeup features a purely outstanding french boxcalf from tannerie d'annonay. annonay has been a town of tanners since the 12th century and perpetuates a tradition in the production of calfskin. a world benchmark in boxcalf tanning, tannerie d’annonay has been producing boxcalf since 1838, so you could say that they know what they are doing when it comes to calf. their vocalau french calf is a full-grain calfskin with a silky boxcalf hand and a smooth, consistent natural grain and glossy finish and is made specifically for very high-quality footwear. the speedhooks and polishable glossy finish result in a sophisticated 2030 makeup that can be easily dressed up for not just the office, but even semi-formal events courtesy of annonay's incredible calfskin. that said, these are still a pair of viberg service boots and can be put through their paces with no qualms if desired. while calfskin is normally a dressier leather relative to some of our other options, the high-quality full-grain nature of this vocalau hide means durability is of no concern.

these boots - like all viberg boots - are the end result of more than 200 hand-crafting steps and they underwent strict quality inspections at viberg's victoria workshop. any slight variations in color and texture should therefore be considered a part of the boot’s unique character.
