Pachena Bay - CFS Snuff Waxy Commander
The Pachena Bay Boot from Viberg features a single-piece upper design with the recognisable padded collar often seen in Italian rock-climbing footwear from the 1970s. Further enhanced for colder environments, it also sports a gusseted tongue and Thinsulate lining for optimal insulation.
The uppers are constructed from Waxy Commander suede produced by British tannery Charles F. Stead & Co. – a name synonymous with the finest leathers since 1900. Using bovine hide, the suede shrinks up to 25% during the unique CFS technique. The hide is tanned without any pigment – the same way all C.F. Stead leathers are tanned – with natural waxes applied to give the suede a waterproof finish.
Viberg boots are made for a lifetime of wear, so a sole which can be repaired, removed and replaced is paramount to ensure that daily wear doesn't cut that experience short. A French leather sole is attached to the uppers using a natural split welt which ensures serviceability. To aid with traction the heel holds a piece of anti-slip rubber.
