Viberg

[D97x7]

Have to agree with that Seul, bought my first pair a little over two weeks ago and in just a week I'd put the deposit down on a second pair, oh my aching wallet.

@JamesMarg:

I want those Number 8 coloured service boots but 9.5 is  sold out!
Dare i go with the 9…. Hmmm

Yeah, you should.  I wear a size ten in US sizing…. I have two pair of Vibergs that are size 9 with a great fit...If anything they fit on the larger side.... sizing down from US sizing is a safe bet

^^would echo the same.. I would never size up and would definitely size .5 to 1 depending on how thick your socks normally are.

Dammit!
You guys are so convincing!
Now its time to put the game face on and save a little…

[Finn666]

go for'em James…

[Mumbles]

get em, you won't regret it.  i'm sure it won't be your last pair either.

My Vibergs are still for sale.
They are UK 8,5, ice mocha cxl /black tan, work toe last. I wore them barely during the last year, maybe 30 times.
The original price at B&S was 699€, I´m asking for 550€ + shipping.

[Greenie]

James, you should buy CD's. Those look sick and 8,5 would probably work for you. Offer him 500 euros .;)

CD, why would you want to get rid if those. They look damn good

[ChuckDenim]

They are a tad too short for my feet. I need another last 2030 in 8,5 works for me.
I´m a size 42,5 and wear 7,5 in Red Wings.

[Greenie]

That sucks…. If they were nines I'd take them off your hands, those dope.... good luck with the sale

Hey guys- I recently got my first pair of Vibergs (IH Smokejumpers). After some debating and advice seeking I sized down from my usual 11 in Chippewa to a 10.5. It has turned out that these fit JUST right, and that the toe box is causing me a bit of agony. I'm alternating days trying to break them in right now. I've also never worn boots with a celastic toes box so it could be that I'm adjusting to that as well.

I'm wondering if anyone here can chime in about how they break in their boots? I've read a lot about people who go for a slightly tight fit and then break them into the perfect fit after a bit of time and discomfort. Does anyone here do this? Any advice, stories, or poetry would be much appreciated. I have high hopes that in a few weeks these will feel like the perfect fit (if they're still hurting though I'll have to sell if anyone is interested).

Cheers!

Mine were a little tight at first (2030 last), width-wise, not lengthwise though… After a couple of days all was good... Now they're my best fitting boots.

[Spring Son of Light]

For me it's mostly te width of the toe box too. The length is pretty spot on. It just hurts a bit because the celastic is hard.
