I'm obviously not the only one who thinks that maybe we (read: Viberg Boot Mfg. Ltd.) should consult some of the other shoe makers out there to establish a more steadfast sizing system. Much like some of the other independents out there, our variety of lasts is carefully considered and each have their own characteristics. Surely there are comparisons to be made! I mean, wouldn't it be nice to know what size you are in a given last from one manufacturer and be able to translate that with relative ease to another?

hell yes!
but i dont see that being a easy task
one thing ive noticed a few people talking about around here lately is sizing on your engineer boots?
id assume a 310 last in a serive and a 310 in a engineer would fit the same?

Right you are. I mean, the Engineer is a significantly taller boot, at 9" or 11", without the give that the lace provides on the 6" Service Boot. But, once your foots in there, the sizing is the same.

they'll probably get a resole soon after i get them
did i hear someone say honey lug?

[RP]

Looks like they've done a small re-stock on the Boondockers, so some of the extinct sizes are now available again.

I'd scoop a pair if they were around $500. Otherwise, I can do without the leather sole.

Can we get some pics in this thread?  JSJ, I wanna see some close ups of that natural CXL roughout, boyeee (request made in Flavor Flav accent).

The price won't change, but, if you'd like a pair with something other than the leather sole, let me know.

Thanks for the pic Ed. Now you guys can continue the sizing banter. Sizing questions are annoying as fuck. Isn't there a thread for that. Trace your foot and send it off, WTF!!!
