Viberg Engineer Boot - Brown CXL

[SpaceGnome]

love it for the most part.  the upturned toe on an engineer, not so much.

Agreed. Otherwise I'd be in

[Giles]

I was not keen on the upturned toe until I got my service boots with the same toe.  Love it now…..

[Giles]

Having said that, if it makes a difference, I'd be prepared to consider another toe option…..

[injunjack]

may I ask a question, even though I'm not getting these?

Why 9", and not 11" which is more preferrable in engineer boot?

[Friday]

Do you mean 2 options available G-San? upturned and not?

[FurattoHeddo]

I might be up for this, but will decide after I receive my IHxVB smokejumpers, meanwhile some additional visual stimuli:

[Friday]

imo it looks balanced with the upturned or it may just be me

Preference is a personal thing.  If people want to go 11" then we can.  But when all said and done, all boots must be the same.

And Friday, same applies - all toes will need to be the same…..

Jesus, these are effing awesome! There I was all set for the Whites BH, but I'm now wondering which organ I can sell to get these too

I'm not really an engineer boots kinda guy, but these are pretty spectacular.

…as an Service Boot this would be jummy!

[tmg]

How do you get sized for Viberg? Seriously interested, would be happy with 11" too, but 9" is also fine, but definitely keep the upturned toe, really makes the boot!

[Giles]

UK sizing…

Do they run tts?

When would payment be due?

When would the boots be on my feet?? (Guessing that may be more difficult to answer, but a rough idea would be useful)

[tatmantall]

….. man these things are swweeettttt. I was just telling myself, "who really needs two kidneys anyway?"

Exactly!

a) Do they run tts?

b) When would payment be due?

c) When would the boots be on my feet?? (Guessing that may be more difficult to answer, but a rough idea would be useful)

a) not sure if one is able to size the engineers the same way as all other viberg boots, but if so, then you'll find a shit load of info in the viberg thread! some guys will advice you to size down one whole number from your US size (US9 - UK8), some will say 0.5 down (US9 - UK8.5) and others think taking the same number (US9 - UK9) is the way to go! i know it's not really answering the question but that's the way it is! best would be to email viberg directly and check with them…I'm sure they gonna take care of you.

b) if it's the same as with all the other viberg orders, then it is (iirc) half of the payment when pre-ordering and the other half when the boot is finish and ready to ship!

c) not sure if this is even possible to answer
