It's Brett Viberg time! Few people have exerted as much influence over the quality footwear industry over the past decade as Brett has while he's reshaped Viberg Boot from an industrial boot manufacturer to arguably the most important lifestyle boot brand in the entire scene.
This episode Ben and Brett talk about Viberg's future—what is it advancing towards as a product, and as a brand, and why?—as well as the new widths the Canadian manufacturer rolled out in the past few weeks, how he evolves boot patterns and lasts, his favorite and least favorite boots he's ever made, whether or not there will be a sample sale in 2021, and plenty, plenty more. Definitely an episode not to be missed.
