Viberg Boots are so lovely. 1950 Service, Boondockers, Scouts… Gonna visit Berlin sometime in (late)Summer and check out B&S and 14oz, maybe I´ll find some nice Vibergs
-
well i've measured my pair while being totally sober so my measurements are correct
I'm not gonna cop them though cuz of these sizing issues…I can't see myself spending 500-600USD on a pair of boots when the outsole measures 1inch less as the pair i own (which are on the snug side already!)...can't go any shorter than the pair I already own... -
LOOKING for TWO other buyers willing to go in with us for this build

^ well the one above (Bobcat, same as posted a page before, the one in Icy Mocha CXL) and the 4HS boots…
Different lasts & different toe shapes = different dimensions. Also have to factor in the width of the welt, which can vary widely, especially with a hand welted boot. For those reasons, I've always considered external measurements to be largely worthless. Internal ones are going to be slightly better, but still likely to be misleading.
Bottom line- if they're both Viberg size 8.5, they're likely to fit similarly, since I haven't heard that Viberg has inconsistent sizing between lasts (like Alden, for instance).

Frost, I've already got the scout with the wedge sole, but would like that sole better. My plan is to wear the current sole, which gives me some variation in my lineup, then resole, like Urbs. G is taking orders for that build so you could follow the same plan, per se.
-
I'd really love a pair of the 4HS if anybody wants to go in on that build. I'd also probably consider hopping in on a solid engineer style too.

Mumbles, no, Viberg doesn't accept runs of less than 4 from retailers anymore. You can order through them directly, but it will take longer. If we want to order through G, we need at least 4 of the model.
o ok i got ya. i'm interested in the 4hs, but i don't think i'm ready to commit yet. got a few other things i would like to take care of first.
anyway that is one gorgeous Viberg you coppin Finn.. Good luck.
