In a first-time collaboration with Viberg, we are proud to present these exceptional stitchdown boots featuring premium French boxcalf leather from Tannerie d'Annonay, available in warm brown. Located in Annonay, France, the tanning industry in this region has a rich history dating back centuries, with a calf leather tradition that extends as far back as the 12th century. With Tannerie d'Annonay's expertise in producing boxcalf leather since 1838, it's safe to say they are masters of their craft. Tannerie d'Annonay is renowned for producing world-class calfskin of various types, all of which are of the highest quality and intended for some of the world's finest footwear brands, now including Viberg. This particular makeup features their Vocalau French Calf, a full-grain calfskin with a luxurious boxcalf feel and a smooth, consistently beautiful natural grain with a glossy finish, crafted specifically for premium footwear. What makes this tannage unique, is that it is a semi-aniline leather, which allows a degree of natural grain transparency, which gives the skin colour depth. Annonay also uses traditional glazing jacks, which is a mechanical glass arm, used to polish the leather, giving it a very high shine, similar to Shell Cordovan. However, don't let the dressier leather fool you; These Viberg Service Boots are built to withstand rugged wear thanks to the Ridgeway outsoles, which feature thick protruding lugs and large ridge channels that offer great traction and stability. Despite calfskin's reputation for elegance, the high-quality full-grain nature of this Vocalau hide ensures durability is never a concern. Like all Viberg boots, these have undergone over 200 handcrafted steps and passed rigorous quality inspections at Viberg's Victoria workshop.
