In the US & Canada, Viberg Boots size differently so we recommend sizing down 1 full size, or if you have wide feet, 1/2 a size down. Unless noted, all widths are size E.

Worldwide, take your standard size. If you need sizing help, reach out on chat.

Based off of a Vintage Canadian Military Parade last. This last features a low profile silhouette and elongated almond shape toe. This last accommodates most foot shapes in the standard E width. Due to the research and development of the 2030 last, this tends to fit almost every type of foot. Our 2030 is our most commonly used last and is a good basis of comparison when looking to fitting our other lasts.

The Bastion Oxford is an archival pattern created by Edwin Viberg dating back to 1960. It is slightly more formal than the Derby or Rockland Blucher because it features a closed lacing system in which the quarters, the side tabs where the shoelace eyelets are punctured, are sewn under the vamp. We have updated the original style by tightly trimming the waist with a round blade, allowing it to contour to the shape of the last.

Small batch, limited run production from our factory in Victoria, BC.

The Bastion Oxford

Dating back to 1960, the Bastion Oxford is an updated version of an archival pattern that was created by Edwin Viberg. A round blade is used to contour the shape of the last, creating the signature tightly trimmed waist and heel of this revised pattern. Designed with formal dressing in mind, the Bastion Oxford is produced using Viberg Channeled Insole Goodyear Welt construction to ensure the same level of durability as an our industrial products.

The Refined Collection

Our Refined Collection represents five generations of the Viberg family shoemaking tradition. This collection celebrates iconic traditionally made silhouettes, crafted through our family’s long tradition of producing footwear made for hard work, outside. The finished product showcases sophisticated utility, featuring versatile styles that can be worn day in and day out.

C.F. Stead Waxy Commander

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.
