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.

will do. Might post blister pics soon! -
I'd suggest BodyGlide. I use it running long distance to prevent blisters. Easy and won't eff up your boots. Goes on like deodorant. I use it when I get hot spots breaking in boots too. Amazon, running stores, outdoor stores.

I feel very lucky, mine have felt great all along. Stiff at first, but that doesn't bother me. Never even a hint of a blister. I think I'd return or sell boots that hurt me.
-
I assume the celastic toe box makes a big difference. If it were just leather I think it'd be a lot easier. I normally would not want boots that hurt me but it was too late by the time I realized it. However, I think my other boots could fit a bit more snugly but I never bothered with breaking in a pair, or getting one as quality as Viberg.
I love the idea of a custom feeling fit if I can make it through a bit of break in time. I guess I could still end up being the loser in the end though…

Wearing the same shoes on consecutive days?! You ARE a filthy pig!

i walk on the "wide" side__ E on U.S. & Canadian & G-H [or 6 fitting] on UK. my Loden Green Service boots on the 2005 last were tight, initially.
1st, 'prepped the leather with conditioner & finished up with a Red Wing Mink Oil [leather softener]. then, stuck shoe trees in them & slipped some cardboard to keep the vamp taut. 'set them aside for a couple of days to allow the conditioner/oil to seep in + dry up a bit.
2nd, wore them with thinner socks, then gradually progressed to heavier weight once they started to open up.

I'm [desperately
]trying to see if i can get this built …. if not @styleforum, then maybe through here 
Shameless Plug:
We're trying to get enough peeps on board this MTO Viberg Tan Bison Scout Boots. Pls pm "LA Guy" @styleforum if interested.the mash-up:
A) **Tan Bison Scout Boot
Leather: tan bison
Model: Scout boot
Last: 110
Toecap: none, unstructured toe
Eyelets: 7 antique brass eyelets**
Sole: Double leather sole , naturalit seems there's not enough peeps who voted for the Tan Bison Scout who ACTUALLY put in the order. it'd be a shame to waste the opportunity to acquire a fab & unique build up such as this.
honestly, the 1 & only apprehension i have that's preventing me from pulling the trigger are the leather soles …. 'just could never get used to them. but, if they're EXACTLY like the soles on the 8" ENGINEER BLACK [Japanese] HORSEHIDE__ ie, Cat's Paw half-soles, i'm mosdef on board.
FOK said if we can "… scrounge up enough guys in week", we can make it for round 2. LET'S DO THIS PEEPS!!!

Yea so after a 48 hour break I put them back on today and it was like we were meant to be. I am:
