Chelsea Boot - Black Waxy Commander

Founded in 1931 by Ed Viberg, the Canadian company is now in its 3rd generation and is still entirely family owned and operated. Viberg use traditional manufacturing methods and only the best materials sourced from around the world: brass tacks from England, heavyweight insoles from Spain, Vibram outsoles, and the finest upper leathers from renowned tanneries in the USA and Italy. There are over 200 steps that go into producing a pair of Viberg boots and all of them are performed in their own facility by skilled craftspeople.

The Chelsea Boot is inspired by a pull-on work boot from the 1970's. When Viberg reintroduced this style in 2014, they updated the pattern to utilize a single-piece upper - presenting a clean, modern silhouette with no side seams. The sleek design of the Chelsea allows them to be worn in both casual and formal settings. C.F. Stead's Commander is a rugged, heavyweight waxed leather that has been specially cured to shrink and tighten the fibre structure, resulting in an extremely tough, durable, water-resistant waxed suede. It features a very waxy touch and high pull-up that allows for slow development of colour and texture.
