    Thanks mate.

    Just added some venetian cream as they were a bit dry out of the box, now I can leave them for a few months to just accumulate some wear and tear.

    Venetian cream is amazing though, so quick and easy, and always brings the shine out regardless of leather (I even use it on my cordovan to similar effect).

          @Aries:

          They've arrived!

          It's a tight fit, but not painful. I'm sure they'll stretch out a bit to be perfect. But CHRIST, these are some tough, rigid boots!!!

          Still pondering the leather vs waxed laces conundrum.

          Oh hey, another goon. 😉
          Very nice boots.

                Thanks Davito. They're tight, but not at all painful or uncomfortable, and I'm sure will stretch a bit to a perfect fit in a month or so.

                The notion of 'fit' for feet is such a strange, chimeric science, so much more subjective than any other garment.

                Thinking on my own preference, I believe growing up playing football (soccer), and still playing often, I've just grown accustomed to footwear that needs to be tight to my feet, and it feels strange otherwise! Whilst friends of mine, with the same size feet, like loose boots/shoes, it just feels instinctively "off" to me.

                  I completely agree with your interpretation of fit. I want to feel the footwear hugging my foot very snugly in all regards and anything besides this drives me crazy. It's probably my most picky fit of any piece of clothing.

                              Olive?! Christ I need to recalibrate my screen colour, they look more of a sandy colour on my Macbook than green.

                              Or is that correct?

                              On another note entirely chaps - with my new Viberg, fit is fantastic apart from one issue on the left boot. Just above my ankle is hurting a little from the friction, near the top eyelets: I think from the thick leather laces rubbing into it.

                              Anyone have experience with this? Does it recede after a while?

                                I'm not sure those new images show the color correctly(although Rafa is the only one who can answer that). They seem more mustard in those images IMHO.

                                I feel like this might be a better color representation. Shot from the sample sale.

                                  Ah ok, that looks more olive to me!

                                  Just to update on my previous post about discomfort just above the ankle, near the top eyelets, it feels like what is pressing into my ankle is perhaps the tongue too? Anyone had this at first?

                                    Try wearing thicker socks for a few weeks and/or changing up the tightness of the laces. For me, it usually takes a few days to figure out the right combo to get a good fit.

                                    Also, depending on how you tuck the gusset or how much gusset there is, that can also be tweaked to get a better fit.

                                      Thanks for the very practical advice urbanwoodsman, I'll mix it up with the socks.

                                      Could you elaborate on what you mean by the gusset in relation to boots? I understand it when talking about shirting, but I'm not quite sure what it means for boots.

                                        The tongue. Usually, there is enough to fold it over to create a second layer of protection on the front of your ankle. This can cause some boot bite right at the ankle where your foot bends.

                                          Ahhh, that's exactly what's happening!

                                          Any tips/tricks? It's biting on the sides, where it seems the gusset is folding in on itself and rubbing against my ankle.
