The Wild Ones - Viberg/Iron Heart Engineer Boot

[Giles]

Best I can estimate at the moment is USD850 - 900

Thanks G. One last question, do you have an idea of what size I would need. I'm a 7.5D in Alden Truebalance last, Red Wing, and Mister Freedom Road Champs, all of which fit fine with thick socks. What size do you think I'd be in this Viberg last?

[Giles]

I would say 7D

[superfuzz]

Thanks G. Looks like a great boot. I'm going to have to find a second job! 

[superfuzz]

G, just to clarify: do you mean 7D UK or US sizing?

Looking forward to seeing the final specs for these.

7D in this boot

I got it. Thanks, G!

I definitely am loving the look, but I have a question about the breaking in/comfort level. I've only experienced wearing Vibram Soles like the Christy and the 2021.

Can anyone chime in if you have experienced to this similar sole and the shofter soles like the 2021?

I am pretty much almost sold on these Engineers, but I just want some input on comfort level.

Thanks for any help!

I have a load of boots with the 705.  No issues at all….G

Just finalised specs with Morgan.  I am seriously pumped.

Here is spec for sample…..Of course things may get "refined" when his H'ness sees the sample......

2005 last
9"
double midsole - prob natural
705 half sole
Cats Paw heel
Vintage style roller buckes (brass on brown, chrome on black)
Hand cut gusset
Longer than normal straps
IH/Viberg stamped on heel seat

Which shade of brown do you intend to use?

[babyknight]

G, for an idiot like me who doesn't understand boot terminology, does that all basically add up to it will look like that photo you posted except for longer straps?

[hajduk]

Same here G, is it this last? The 2005 on the picture?

[Giles]

This is the last…..But the pic is of an 11", so please just look at the toe shape...

Waiting for Morgan to send me pics of the 2 leathers....

[Finn666]

shit…those are dope!

seeing that you go for a pair as well i wonder if your instep is going to be different from all the others?

[Giles]

As standard, they'll be standard instep.  But for pre-orders, we can go fat-boy (like me)…

[Finn666]

sounds like music to my ears so far

@Giles:

[mclaincausey]

I must say, coming together beautifully…

Those are very nice G, so tempted to sign up but that would be crazy as I've not even managed to wear my new Viberg Engineers yet…..and would probably be one pair of boots too far in Mrs tmg's eyes
