    my 2 cents worth.. denim transfer on the smooth cxl part will only make the leather darker, which I'm assuming you're not too worried about? as for the rough out part you can always, rub them with suede bar regularly (i use RW suede bar)to prevent a permanent transfer ?

    I thought they don't have any available stock on their site. Any way, enjoy that beautiful boots.

        I really like those MJN.  Where did you pick them up?

          ^^Bluegrass  ….I picked them up from an eBay member (New/Unworn) two weeks ago.

          They had purchased them directly from:  www.meadowweb.com  out of Sweden.

          Luckily, upon arrival the true color was exactly as shown in the photos

          The build that I have is "Sold-Out."

          However, they also currently have another Viberg build in the same leather combination, but in a different build/look as follows:

            Like your boots much better - nice score! Hard to figure out where to shop for Viberg other than their website.

              @Sugar:

              Finally crumbled and bought the Boondockers. Took the same size as my Alden trubalance last and Trickers 4444 last. Fingers crossed it works out.

              hmm. i have an Alden Indy in the TB and its much more comfortable for me because of the wider last – i found the Boondocker a little slimmer. anyway, i hope they work out for you.

                Mijama - Two questions: What width are your Indy boots and what last are your Boondockers on? My Vibergs arrived today and width-wise the 2045 last compares well to the Trubalance in D width. Consensus seems to be that the 2030 last also corresponds with the same size in Trubalance D but we all have different feet.

                    Chris, not Viberg specific but I have taken American work boots (Whites) to allegedly the best cobbler in London, who screwed them up, sent pictures to the Shoe Healer, who didn't seem confident, and had some done locally, which was ok at best.

                    The lesson I have learned is that if you love your boots they need to go to a specialist. I recommend spending the extra and either returning them to the manufacturer, or use use Brian The Bootmaker.

                        cross post from the care thread

                        Can anyone recommend me a decent cobbler in London?  The Cat's Paw heel on my IH/Viberg service boot seems to be wearing obscenely quickly on the outside back portion, so I need to get it replaced with something a little more robust. 
                        Any pointers/tips gratefully received.

                        A bit more info given Mega's post above - ideally I'd just like the aforementioned outside back portion replaced, as there's loads of wear left in the rest of the heel (and the whole sole generally - they only arrived in Jan).  Basically enough of a repair to stop the permanent part of the heel starting to wear too.

                          I have a friend who is a cobbler (based in Putney). If you send me some pics I can always have a word with him to see what he can do. He is excellent. Been a cobbler for forty years - restitched my churches recently. He's due to change my red wing chukkas to commando sole at some point. He might not be able to do anything as I know he's really ruddy busy but I'm happy to ask.

                                          sorry for the late reply. My boots are a D width, and my Boondockers are on the 110 – at least i think its a 110. Gotta see if i can dig up the box.
