Retro-Inspired Outdoor Sneakers

The Viberg Sneakers are Made in Canada and Have a Classic Look

— November 21, 2018 — Fashion
Rugged footwear is quickly becoming a must-have for consumers who lead active lifestyles, so brands are developing products with this in mind like the new Viberg sneakers. Entirely made in Canada, the sneakers are stylishly designed with a silhouette that calls to mind classic footwear designs from the 1980s and 90s to offer wearers a stylish yet protective option to get outside with. The sneakers feature a Vibram Sphike RGS sole that is more like something you would find on a hiking shoe to make them perfect for trail running or long hikes.

The Viberg sneakers are outfitted with leather insoles and a removable leather footbed to make them similar to the boots the brand makes with a distinctly more relaxed look.
