the chromepack leather is pretty awesome for shitty weather. its literally been raining the entire day and the rain just beads beautifully on my completely untreated boots. the leather is so thick and oily. too bad the chromepack leather isnt being stocked by viberg anymore.

Have you ordered them yet?  If not, I would advise ordering an E width.  It is the only one of these lasts (I believe) that Viberg offers in either D or E widths…

Well, i'm getting them through G, the IHVB 4 Brown Oil Tan Service Boots.
And i have pretty much ordered them!
I wear a 9.5 D US in RW chukkas, and they are occassionally a bit tight in the toe, i went with 9 D UK with the Vibergs!

James,
I'd owned Moc toe & Iron rangers from RW size 9D. US. Using thin socks.
The 310 Vibergs last is wider. Much more. And i went with a 9D. UK. Using thick socks.

Ok guys, bit of a pickle with customs, but my dear Carine from BPI Customs Clearane told me that costs will only be 21.44 €.

Should be here tomorrow.

No, but Viberg are turning my orders around in 6/8 weeks at the moment…..And the order has been in for about 3...

After a lot of wear, gave my boondockers some dubbin treatment. Only the vamp and counter for now.

In that case, i may be able to scrape the painters in!
Any chance of getting them out today if i buy them literally right now?

Those look stellar, Aries!..

Thanks chaps!

They're here… First thought as I accepted the box... This is rather light, did the feckers @Customs keep one boot??? As I took 'm out, a big grin appeared out of nowhere... I think these are heavier than my Tricker's... And they're effin SUEDE boots...
Fit is, to quote the great Ace Ventura: "like a glove"... About 2 cms left in front, but due to the narrow toebox, this isn't an issue... Thing is I have lumps on both sides of my feet, on the inside next to my big toes... It's a family thing, my sis has 'm as well... I feel the pressure there... So I could've done with a bit more width (that's what she said), but I remember having the same issue with my Red Wings and even my Oakstreet Bootmakers initially, so I'm sure they'll mold and fold around it eventually haha...

Right now I can't wait to go to work and start abusing them...

And pics to follow... I'm still in my nighgown you savages!..

Gratz on your first vibergs seul!
