• Made exclusively for Blue Owl, the collaborative Dark Horse boot takes inspiration from vintage work boots of Viberg's 93-year archive. This model pays homage to the brand's original Service Boot, introduced during the Great Depression to meet the demands of Canadian farmers for an exceptionally durable and long-lasting boot that could be "bought once and last forever." The boot showcases a sleek black horsehide leather sourced from the renowned Comipel Tannery of Italy, which is paired with a World War II-style Commando sole on Viberg's rugged 2040 last. Built using Viberg's signature stitchdown construction in the brand's longstanding Victoria, BC boot factory.⁠
