The IHF/Viberg Hiker

dumb question, I assume they couldn't flip the skin to make a smoothout right?
Yes we can. G
OK then, next step for my 8.5D smoothout IH hikers?

I'm so impressed with these. I wore them for two consecutive 14 hour work days, straight out of the box. Of that time, I probably spent 30 total minutes off my feet. My feet were tired at the end of the day, but not sore at all, and no blisters.
They feel like tanks; I couldn't be happier with them. The fit is absolutely perfect, too. A touch snug, like I prefer.
Thank you for making these happen, G.

Wear in good health Sean!!!!

They are pretty damn swell I must say.
-
Yep. I especially love these with Smartwool hiking socks. Next level comfort, like walking on pillows. Totally different vibe than the smokejumper clodhopping stompers, each awesome in their own ways.

^and that's where I got a pair. Totally unplanned, but needed for my hiking holiday this year (of course ;)). Fanbtastic built boot, pretty comfy out of the box. Just the laces are a bit too stretchy for my liking - it's not easy to fasten the boot real tight. I'll try to wear them as much as possible, two months to go until I really need them.
-
Good call on the elasticity of the laces
-
How did you guys solve it? I actually thought about new ones, also in red. Leather felt tighter, but I haven't worn those yet outside. How many wear does it take for the boot to soften up (more)?
-
I seem to remember mine softening up pretty quickly, but I thought they were really comfortable straight out of the box; so it's tough to say exactly. The leather laces do provide more of a "locked in" fit, but I haven't had any issues with the red.
Great choice with these, MP, and excellent pics, as always. I wear mine all the time and they just keep getting better.
-
Thank you! And just what I wanted to hear. I also think they're great out of the box, but want to make sure they're broken in a bit before I climb around in the alps.
