I never bought anything from ironheart.co.uk before. It also shows "endangered," so I wasn't sure as to the relationship between an endangered product and the possibility of future restocks.

It wasn't my intention to jump to sudden conclusions, but thank you for your clarification. I have filled out the restock form. Really looking forward to these boots!

Cheers

Emptiness, no worries, the difference between endangered and extinct is pretty difficult to get until you've been through it a few times.

Typically, but not always (because we sometimes forget), if a product has this:

You are OK.

The reason that this product says endangered, is that I may get bored of doing it, or decide I want to change it, then it will die.

As a general point, if I am not sure about the longevity of a product, I prefer to have an item showing as endangered

Really lovin' these! 

The more I wear 'em the better they get!

Thanks for explaining everything to me. Talked to Giles over email to put in the preorder.

Hopefully soon as well I can use the "Iron Heart Starter Kit" option for 634S-B and 526Jod as well.

Hi Giles,

A couple of questions for you.

What kind of toe do the service boots use?  Did you spec an unstructured, partially structured, or fully structured toe?

Also, could you give some sizing advice?  I already have a pair of Viberg Contractor 151X boots with a steel toe in 11E.  I believe these boots use the same last as the Smokejumpers you sell.  How does the sizing of the Smokejumper compare to the 310 last of the Service boot?  If I'm an 11 in one, would I get an 11 in the other?

Thanks!

Chris.

I've got the same 9D in these boots and the smokejumper, both fit well, I find the service boot to be a little roomier in the toe box, not a lot, but just a touch longer and wider!

It's a bump toe, so I assume fully structured

I wear exactly the same size in both

Hi folks,
is there anybody out there who owns a pair of Alden Indy boots (or any other model on the Trubalance last) and these beauties?
What with have you chosen for the Vibergs, D or E, to get the same comfortable feeling?

Cheers
Peter

[Giles]

Depends on what width you got in your Aldens

[peng]

Good call
In my Aldens there's a mark B/D, so it's a D?

[Giles]

Stick with D in the Vibergs then.

[peng]

Cheers Giles.
And a 10,5 in the Alden would translate to a 10,5 in the Vibergs, right?

[Giles]

I'd go 10D.  US sizing is different from UK (Viberg use) sizing:
