In 1914, Edwin Viberg moved from Sweden to a farm in Saskatchewan. As he grew up on the farm he became interested in leatherwork. Fast-forward to 1931, Viberg opened up his first leather goods shop in Shellbrook, Saskatchewan and since then the tradition of making hand-made leather boots of exceptional quality has been passed down from generation to generation.

My Father told me . In life do not scrimp and save on two things . A good pair of shoes and a good bed . Because if your not in one your in the other .

Congratulations to this family. Their boots are high end because they are the best and worth every penny. Cheers to the grandson to get involved in the bussiness. Believe me the market is full of crap and smoke and you have a real product that is so special. Keep it up 👏

Unfortunately I'm new to the boot world and ordered two pair of Truman boots. Next time I'll definitely get a pair of these.

Yep.. the best in the world. I wonder how it feels like to be the most sought after brand in any particular product?

You guys thought about innovating the sole? I like the look of these shoes and appreciate the hand craftsmanship but damn they are stiff, hard and uncomfortable to wear.
