IHVB-05 - The Wild Ones - Iron Heart/Viberg Engineer Boot Collaboration
-
Horsehide.
Seems some japanese horse got available again
Bolted out of the stable and all that.
The VB-05 would still be hard to pass up IMO.

I was trying to do some research, but kept running into dead ends. Does anyone know how the 2005 last fits? Does it run TTS, or a half size smaller, like the 2030?
I don't, but I know you will chat to Morgan. Let us know the answer…..
I pulled the trigger on these after confirming with Morgan that the 2005 last runs TTS. I only have my specific measurements, but my size 15 US foot will fit into a 14 EE just fine. The footbed is 32.5 cm long, and 10.5 cm wide. I know the specific measurements probably don't help anyone, but my true size is really a 15.5 (which nobody makes), which is why we went with a EE width– to accommodate an extra half size up. Don't know if this helps anyone, but I figured I would forward it along, anyway; just in case.
Stoked for my first pair of Vibergs. Thank you, G.

Those are chunky… buckle envy
I'll understand if the answer is "no" but I'd love to buy a set of brass ones.

great, thanks!

You've made my day!

I take it that the price point of the ones that will be taken in for stock that will be available in March/April, ie not pre-orders, will be around the same as the price mentioned in the first post of this thread, 875.00 USD or roughly 636 EUR?

The pre-ordered ones are due in March, but that has probably been delayed (yet) again. Viberg lost their compressor for a week and they are super backed up, plus I am actually having to have the buckles specially made for me in Japan and that is taking longer than I could have imagined. I'm trying to determine exact impact at the moment. Once I know the likely impact, I will drop a mail to all those who pre-ordered. I'd guess the ones for stock will be 12-14 weeks behind the pre-orders…..

OK, thanks.

Glad you finally found some that will work G
I did not…......They actually proved to be "OK" and would have done the job, but on balance I decided they were not good enough. So I threw caution, sensibility and my check book to the wind and had some cast especially for me in Japan. They arrived today and are beautiful. This monster delay has caused a significant delay in the release of the boots, I am trying to ascertain what the final impact will be from Morgan.....

A Haraki-like obsessiveness… Bravo!
