Handmade in Victoria, BC exclusively for Four Horsemen Shop.
The 4 Horsemen Supplies City Hiker is the third installment in our ongoing capsule collection with local footwear manufacturers Viberg Boot. The idea behind this collaboration was to take an outdoor performance boot like the hiker and strip it down to make it more appropriate for everyday city life. To this end we made several subtle, but significant changes. The City Hiker is the first hiker to be built on the 2030 last which is the same sleek military last used on our Service Boot and Saddle Oxford. The upper is constructed entirely out of reverse peanut bullhide which was chosen for its thinness and unique nappy texture. The Vibram 2021 sole provides the perfect combination of durability, traction and comfort. Finally, we removed the 200g Thinsulate liner and fiberglass box toe to keep the boot lightweight and add an overall unstructured feel. Although we tailored these for the city, Viberg’s uncompromising approach to manufacturing means they will withstand just about any conditions.
These shoes will be made to order with a 6-8 week turnaround, unless otherwise notified. By default, all pairs will be made with an unstructured toe, though a box toe is available upon request. We recommend going one whole size down from what you typically wear. Please feel free to contact us for further sizing advice.
