The Wild Ones - Viberg/Iron Heart Engineer Boot

[mclaincausey]

Curious what y'all think about the shaft length. I like 10-11". I have had 8" ones collapse to the degree where they kind of fight out from under stacks a little bit. Granted these were cheap ass Fryes but still always been into the taller boots since that happened back in high school.

Also curious to see what lewd jokes follow this post about shaft length

We are doing 9" for the sample.  He wanted 8", so I'm getting there.

In the current guise, these will be plus or minus USD850…..

Did not go Iron Rider as did not want it to get mixed up with Iron Ranger
Did not go Dark Rider, as this is a Self Edge name for their collab….

[tatmantall]

I had not thought about the similarities with iron rangers, good thinking g-money

Hey Finn, how do you find the fit of those Vibergs?

[Finn666]

they were actually quite roomy in width. in length pretty perfect.
and imo it takes a bit to get used to the 705 half sole…

[mclaincausey]

It's noticeably wider up front.

[superfuzz]

Hmmm I have narrow feet. I wonder if that last will work for me.

[tatmantall]

I'm narrow as well which is why I can't do viberg engineers

[Finn666]

maybe we can chose different widths for'em? :-
I actually have quite wide feet and these are pretty comfy but also almost near to being a tad too wide!
I'd rather stretch the leather with wear as that it's too wide from the get go!

I was wearing thin socks, so maybe thick socks would do the trick…who knows!

I get a bit more worried about my 8.5E Smokejumpers
