The Pachena Bay Boot from Viberg features a single-piece upper design with the recognisable padded collar often seen in Italian rock-climbing footwear from the 1970s. Further enhanced for colder environments, it also sports a gusseted tongue and Thinsulate lining for optimal insulation. The uppers are constructed from Latigo leather, produced by Horween Leather Company of Chigaco, Illinois. It's a combination tanned leather that utilises chrome and vegetable methods and finished with oil and wax treatments to create a water-resistant material with typical moccasin characteristics. It traces back to Horween's military leather program from the WWII era when Marines coated their boots for field-ready durability. Viberg boots are made for a lifetime of wear, so a sole which can be repaired, removed and replaced is paramount to ensure that daily wear doesn't cut that experience short. A Viberg Extralight EVA sole unit provides EVA cushioning and increased grip thanks to the grooved outsole. - Made on Viberg 240 last - Horween Latigo Waxed Fresh (US) - Thinsulate lining - Antique brass hardware - 360º natural storm welt - Viberg Extralight EVA sole - Made in Canada - Please note: The natural hides used for Viberg footwear show natural abrasions marks unique to each animal.
