                So, I finally have my first pair of Vibergs – black horsehide 1950 Service Boots, 310 last -- and I love everything about them (leather, looks, foot support, sturdiness, etc) except that I am having a hard time adjusting to walking with that high heel.  I have worn plenty of work boots over the years and don't mind breaking them in over time, but I realize that I have never had a pair with this higher heel (never had White's or Vibergs in other words).

                So my question is for those who have worn the 310 last with the higher heel:  Did you all have some adjustment time to getting used to walking in the boots?  I guess I am a "heelstriker," who hits pretty hard on the heel first in my stride, and this seems exacerbated by the height of the heel.  It's a little awkward and a little jarring.  Did others experience this and adjust/get used to it?  Or are there just some of us for whom the higher heel doesn't work?

                  ^hey tod…nice to read you mate.
                  so it´s my first pair of vibergs with the same high heel i´ve bought recently and i have to say that getting used to that is still "under construction"...all my other boots have the vibram cristy sole and that is not even comparable to a sole+hell combo...i´m sure you gonna get a feel for the heel pretty soon (as i will), so getting used to them takes a bit of time.
                  i enjoy wearing the boots from day to day more though i have to say. and the high heel is becoming a close friend of mine over time 😉

                  just my 0.002´s though!

                    You will adjust, I am an old sneakerhead from years ago who never imagined I'd be wearing boots and nothing but. At first it felt strange but after I adjusted to all of the offered support I where boots regardless of the situation.. I have a very difficult time wearing anything but now because I am that accustomed to the overall feel of a boot including the heel to anything else. I feel like I'm not at 100% in anything else… Call me crazy, but that just my view on the world

                        ^^ Thanks for these responses men.  I am going to hope this turns out to be my story too, cause I do love these Vibergs in every other way.  Rafa, I hope it works for you too, cause that brown HH might well be the nicest boot leather I've ever seen!

                        If it turns out that I just can't adjust to the heel, I may end up selling these black HH's (size 10 UK), so if you're interested keep your eyes open.  But I am hoping that won't happen…

                          so hopefully it turns out to be the same way for you too some day...praying for you so that you do keep at least one pair of badass HH boots! 😉

                            Break those horses in tod, needs a bit of time but the outcome of the evolved leather when getting in shape is just awesome. You'll get used to the heel  🙂

                            Cheers,
                            David

                                ^ if I should be the one to answer that then here you go 🙂

                                tod actually was the one that sold those boots to me. he posted the eBay link a few weeks ago and I directly pm'd him about'em…today I couldn't be happier that he accepted 🙂

                                you'll find more pics in the boot contest thread:

                                    nope…figured a UK9 is the perfect size for viberg boots for me. it's one size up from my red wing or yuketen size where I take a US9 btw.
                                    had the 4HS service boot (2030last) in a UK8.5 and they weren't really comfortable. the whole boot, most of all the toe box was way too narrow and slim and my feet hurt after some hours of wear and I only was able to fit pretty thin socks!

                                    received the IH scout boot in a trade and it was a UK9 and the fit was perfect so I'll stick to that size for all of my future viberg purchases. thick socks are no problem, so even perfect for winter time!...

                                      Anyone interested in my Viberg - Burg&Schild collab?
                                      I´m thinking about letting them go cause they were a bit too small in the lenght.
                                      They are UK 8,5, ice mocha/black tan.

                                          Hi everyone, I need some suggestions / ideas for a new Viberg Boot 🙂
                                          I hope you can help me?
                                          I want a Viberg Pachena Bay Boot with 1276 vibram sole, but i can me decide which leather/s???
                                          I found only this picture:
                                          http://www.life-time-gear.com/2011/06/boot-of-day-63-viberg-boots-pachena-bay.html

                                          This looks good for me, but I need more ideas.
                                          I want this boots for hiking.
                                          Thanks.
