Viberg

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…

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.

Thanks.Mister Mouse,
Vibergs are great and I have two pair of hiker 66 and just ordered a pair of the 68. I ordered the brown nubuck, no thinsulate and asked for lighter midsole to make them more flexible.
The boots look great but I can't use them for hiking as they are so stiff. Hiking over rocks there is no flexibility or give. Anyone else out there use these for hiking? -

ThanksHi MM,
I'm afraid there aren't many pics about about, only a couple when you google search so it's down to imagination really. Think I'll probably stick with the Hiker 66 last.

you mean Viberg call it hiking boot, but it's not really a boot for hiking!!
You mean that??
Ok, so I should think about to order this Boot for hiking!
Thanks for the info. -
MM…..if you are hiking on ground that is smooth then Viberg's are fine. Over rocks they feel like they might break your ankle. My Viberg's are for looking good. I use Zamberlan for regular hiking. Nuvolao and Latemar...leather lined and designed by people who understand hiking. The sole is a custom made Vibram that has a nice flexibility...not bad looking boots either.
