Viberg Boot has been handcrafting some of the world’s highest quality work boots for over 80 years.
Founded in 1931 by Ed Viberg, our Canadian company is now in its third generation and is still entirely family owned and operated. Today, Ed’s son is still on the factory floor personally working on every pair of boots that leaves our doors.
“Our business began with the goal of crafting the best boot possible and we are proud to have maintained this uncompromising level of quality.”
We focus on top quality materials for our work boots, bringing in outsoles from Italy, cowhide leathers from the United States and water buffalo leathers out of Vietnam. We use brass nails and tacks to ensure our boots will always be free of rust and rot, and have these specially made for us in Japan and the United Kingdom. We insist on keeping to leather for our boot bottoms because leather lasts longer and performs better than most man-made materials. But our biggest asset will always be the craftspeople, each very skillful in their area of expertise, who build every boot with the care and attention it deserves. There are over 200 steps involved in producing a pair of Viberg work boots, and we focus on quality at every stage.
