@davito:

Diaz uk9 will be too big in viberg imho. I wear a comfy us8.5 in RW 875 and comfy uk8 in my viberg engineer, service boot and ironworker. Depending on the style and your foot some go even down to uk7.5 for a snug fit. Doublecheck your sizing with viberg

thanks for the tips davito. from my friends knowledge sharing,I do get the understanding that uk8.5 would be good too,maybe just the type of fitting will differ,snug,comfy,loose. but from my experience with the Iron ranger which is US8.5 and that cork sole, I find the sole not that comfy,so I should've sized up and get a padded insole in them.
but for christy sole,they're just damn comfy straight on.

Still i think a uk 8.5 is probably a lil bit too big when ur tts is us8.5. Let your sizing double check with viberg or best is when you have the chance to try different shoes/boots in person (especially which last is used, styles etc). Imho. Yeah and let your feet measure or try shoes on when you already walked a lot and they reached their largest status, say around at 4 in the afternoon i always have around a thumb space free in the front for my toes as i do not want to kill my feet, my preference, others do it differently

Not sure if this was posted here. Interesting read. They mention the IH forum.

The dynamic over there seems pretty interesting - older generation doesn't want to change a thing but the younger generation trying to branch out.  Family drama perhaps?

I haven't watched this yet, but here's the blurb. Apologies if it was previously posted.

Across the country in Victoria, BC, a footwear company attempts to get a grip on their evolving product line. Once known strictly for their tough men's footwear, Viberg Boots has expanded to offer more fashionable products, leaving owners scrambling to keep up with demand. Will the owners reshape their business and rise to Arlene's challenge? Or will they be given the boot?

It was posted up a few months ago.

Spoiler Alert
That's how Viberg got the Goodyear welt systems, I believe.

Its a nice read! I hope in 2014 I can afford a pair of Vibergs.

….so is Greg Guy's evil twin brother or just a poorly edited article?

Might pull the trigger on a pair in the fall... tho I have a hard time internally justifying the extra 200 bucks over most other brands with similar stuff... feel like I'd just be paying Canadian taxes/customs.
