@Finn666:

I'm a US9 in most of my red wings (9.5 in the chukkas)

Didn't you recently wanna sell your chukkas for being too big?..

[Finn666]

actually yeah, but tbh. i can´t get myself over it! they fit nice with thick socks, so i guess they´re ok!…

[Mumbles]

i'm a little confused as to why the toe box is different for some of the service boots.  Is there a specification to get a toe box like the boondocker instead of one like is pictured on their customizer?

[Giles]

There are a number of different lasts/toe boxes.  The most "traditional" is a sprung last bump toe, which is what mine are….

[Mumbles]

O ok…that helps.  I got a bit more research to do it seems.

[Chris]

The boondocker uses the "deconstructed" toe box.  You can request it specifically in the notes if you order via their webpage.  However, if you have any doubt, or want to ask any questions, I'd recommend calling and talking to someone at Viberg to get every detail clarified.  I talked over my order with Jason, and he was super helpful, and my boots ended up exactly how I wanted.

[Mumbles]

Thanks Chris.  I'll eventually get around to calling, but i didn't want to bother them with too many questions since they are so busy and I knew you guys could help me out with a few of the basics.  i'm still brainstorming atm about what i really want.

[Chris]

No problem.  We're here to help.

(Especially for an NCSU-er.  If you were a Tarheel, that would be a different story altogether…)

OK people.  The first of the special Viberg runs I will do in 2013 is for IHVB-01 - Iron Heart/Viberg Scout Boot - Indigo/Black.

Price will be USD750.  50% deposit will be payable when I get interest for a total of 4 pairs.

Please PM me…..

More runs will be announced shortly......

[Finn666]

so everything's the same (sole,…) except of the color (indigo/black)?...

[Giles]

No.  IHVB-01 was indigo denim and black Buffalo:

[Finn666]

ah ok! so then it's actually the exact same boot as you guys did a few months back as first collab boot!…thx.

[Giles]

Yup

[Finn666]

ok cool!
after checking out Shane's pic of the resole he got done on his pair, would it even be an option or is the make-up firm as is?

[Giles]

I have to order 4 or the more of the same make up.  So if you can find 3 others who want exactly what you want, I'm all ears.  Otherwise no.  Sorry, but I do not have the time to go back and forth with multiple possible builds….

[Finn666]

gotcha…thanks again for answering G.!

[bagley920]

Does this mean the first run is on the horizon or still waiting?

[Giles]

The first run was done months ago.  This is a call for orders for new run….

[bagley920]

I meant almost ready
