The Country Derby Boot from Viberg is based on a traditional British hunting boot and features an interlocking eyestay and 360 degree vamp for increased waterproofing. This version is made in Horween’s Waxed Flesh which is a full grain leather similar to Chromexcel, except that the flesh, or suede side of the leather is treated with a heavy wax coating. This is a nod to roughout military boots which soldiers would traditionally wax themselves. With heavy wear the wax will begin to come off and some of the nap of the suede will be restored.
