Boots arrived today - well chuffed!

Just wondering about protection as this is the first pair of decent boots I've bought!

Should I just use the Viberg wax stuff that came with them before wearing, or would anyone recommend doing anything else?

Cheers

[Giles]

IMO, there is virtually nothing that you can do wrong.  You could apply the wax, won't do any harm, or just wear them straight out the box.  Personally I treat my boots and shoes like my jeans, if they get dirty, I clean them…..

[wolfblood]

Yeah these boots are made to be worn, I try not to agonize about it too much. The leather is very well conditioned out of the box, I think you might be wasting the viberg paste that came with it.

I like the color of that leather, looks good boys

How do Vibergs come up size-wise?  I know you must get this sort of question a lot, but that pair of UK size 8 is calling to me…

I size down to a UK 7.5 in the RW 8131 mod toe, but am a pretty standard 8 is most other brands (Loake, Grenson, etc).

[wolfblood]

I wear a size 11 us 10 uk boot, Giles set me up with a 10.5 on these(yeah a little confusing) the fit is spot on.

[Giles]

You'd be an 8 in these I'm afraid ginger…..

I had a feeling you were going to say that…

[tatmantall]

been so tempted to purchase one of the viberg collabs but my last few experiences with the sizing leaves me worried they will not work

[Winchy]

One each of sizes 8D and 9.5E are available again.

[JamesMarg]

I wish there were more fit-pics of these!!!

[Giles]

Dunno why there aren't, we can hardly keep them on the shelves…..

[JamesMarg]

Some things are just too good to share i guess…!!

Hey G are the brown Wild Ones going to be in this leather? If so droooooooooooooool….
