IHVB-01 - Iron Heart/Viberg Indigo and black Scout Boot
-
i travel back and forth between australia and singapore. mostly in australia. i always spray it over my boots before i head out. not too sure about snow! but, my boots have been through plenty of storms and a couple of hail. still in great condition. liquid just glides off the surface of the leather due to the silicon coating.

Alden Jcrew Indy sz8.5 vs. IHV-01 sz9
Since there are a lot of people wondering about how to size in these things, I hope this helps a bit. But honestly, everyone's feet are different and for me a lot has to do with sock thickness/how tight or loose I tie my laces.
I was measured at Alden in NYC and my size in Alden Indys are a comfortable 8.5E (I can wear thick socks). I can wear Alden Indys sz8.5D with thin socks only. The Vibergs are wider than the Aldens and roomier in the toe box. I prefer to wear thick socks and tie the laces pretty tight while wearing the Vibergs. I guess the Vibergs in 8.5E would fit 10% better, but I'm just being picky.
I tried on Red Wing Gentlemen Travelers sz 9 yesterday just to see the differences with the Vibergs.
The RW heel is wider and the width is more narrow. The length seemed to be about the same.
After I felt the quality of those RW's in particular, I laughed at the salesmen when he asked me if I wanted to buy them. There was really no comparison. Viberg obviously was far superior. Now, don't get me wrong, some of the other RW's felt pretty solid and well crafted. I think a 9E would of fit me best.Anyways, I hope this doesn't make it more complicated.

so you tried on a product at a store.. then a salesman asked if you would like to buy said item.. and you laughed at him?
I'm assuming that statement is more of a hyperbole?

He laughed too. It was in jest. He actually said,"really, almost everyone that looks like you buys these around here, haha."
Also, he agreed with me the quality of that particular Red Wing Model was not very high, especially when he fondled my Vibergs.

I was taking some ebay pics on my bed and figured I would update images on these bad boys too.
About 2 months wear. 3-5 wears a week.
Really like this shot because you can see the line where my jean hem usually sit.
