{"product_id":"viberg-chelsea-boot-black-waxy-commander","title":"Viberg Chelsea Boot Black Waxy Commander","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Chelsea began at Viberg as a 1970s pull-on work boot. When the brand brought the style back in 2014 it redrew the pattern around a \u003cstrong\u003ewholecut upper\u003c\/strong\u003e — one piece of leather, no side seams — and the result is the cleanest silhouette in the range: a continuous line from toe to collar, structured through the instep, with the elastic gores the only break in the surface. It wears as easily with a suit as with jeans, which is the point of a Chelsea and the reason this one has stayed in the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe leather is \u003cstrong\u003eblack Waxy Commander\u003c\/strong\u003e from \u003cstrong\u003eC.F. Stead\u003c\/strong\u003e of Leeds, the tannery that has supplied England’s best shoemakers for generations — and it does not look like suede at first. A \u003cstrong\u003eheavyweight bovine suede\u003c\/strong\u003e is \u003cstrong\u003esaturated with waxes and oils during tanning\u003c\/strong\u003e until the nap lies flat, leaving a smooth, grain-like surface with real \u003cstrong\u003ewater resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e and a deep \u003cstrong\u003epull-up\u003c\/strong\u003e that lightens where the leather flexes. Then it changes: as the wax loosens with wear, the \u003cstrong\u003enatural nap begins to return\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the boot shows a second character under the first. It is hard-wearing and easy to care for — a brush and the occasional wax are all it asks. Inside, a full \u003cstrong\u003eleather lining\u003c\/strong\u003e. The boot is built on Viberg’s \u003cstrong\u003e2030 Chelsea last\u003c\/strong\u003e — a balanced, even profile with a clean toe — and the \u003cstrong\u003ewelt, upper and sole are finished in a single tone\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it reads as one unbroken form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eConstruction is Viberg’s \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Channeled Insole Goodyear Welt\u003c\/strong\u003e: the upper is attached directly to a solid \u003cstrong\u003echanneled leather insole\u003c\/strong\u003e that supports the foot, flexes with it and takes its shape over time. A \u003cstrong\u003e270° flat welt\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps the waist narrow, and a \u003cstrong\u003erubber sole\u003c\/strong\u003e gives traction and stability through the kind of weather a Chelsea tends to meet. Made in \u003cstrong\u003elimited batches at Viberg’s factory in Victoria, British Columbia\u003c\/strong\u003e, and delivered with dust bags. \u003cstrong\u003eMade in Canada.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Viberg Chelsea Boots are available in a \u003cstrong\u003esingle E width\u003c\/strong\u003e, and we recommend \u003cstrong\u003esizing down one full size\u003c\/strong\u003e from your standard US sneaker size or Brannock measurement. If you have \u003cstrong\u003ewide feet\u003c\/strong\u003e, consider going down half a size. Viberg sizes fit more closely to \u003cstrong\u003eUK\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than US sizing. As always, we strongly recommend checking our size chart to ensure the right fit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VIBERG","offers":[{"title":"6.5","offer_id":54499633267026,"sku":"VB-CHCOMM-BO-BK-6.5","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"7","offer_id":54499633299794,"sku":"VB-CHCOMM-BO-BK-7","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"7.5","offer_id":54499633332562,"sku":"VB-CHCOMM-BO-BK-7.5","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"8","offer_id":54499633365330,"sku":"VB-CHCOMM-BO-BK-8","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5","offer_id":54499633398098,"sku":"VB-CHCOMM-BO-BK-8.5","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9","offer_id":54499633430866,"sku":"VB-CHCOMM-BO-BK-9","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5","offer_id":54499633463634,"sku":"VB-CHCOMM-BO-BK-9.5","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":54499633496402,"sku":"VB-CHCOMM-BO-BK-10","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5","offer_id":54499633529170,"sku":"VB-CHCOMM-BO-BK-10.5","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11","offer_id":54499633561938,"sku":"VB-CHCOMM-BO-BK-11","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5","offer_id":54499633594706,"sku":"VB-CHCOMM-BO-BK-11.5","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":54499633627474,"sku":"VB-CHCOMM-BO-BK-12","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2941\/6840\/files\/viberg-chelsea-boot-black-waxy-commander.jpg?v=1793647040","url":"https:\/\/redcastheritage.com\/products\/viberg-chelsea-boot-black-waxy-commander","provider":"Redcast Heritage Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
