Score 

[D97x7]

Awesome, thanks Giles!

[Giles]

Wow, that was quick.  Nice one….....

[theorocks]

nice d97…that brown looks great love the toe profile and the height of the heel and 9" is perfect ...can't wait for mine

[superfuzz]

Wow that brown looks beautiful. Kind of sad I missed the boat on these now that IH won't be working with Viberg any longer.

[Giles]

What size/colour are you looking for, we still have a carton to arrive…..

[superfuzz]

Thanks G but I don't have the funds for any new boots right now anyway.  Saving my money for that IHAL cafe racer! 

[Giles]

Could be worse…....

Bam!  I love the smell of new leather. The black oil tan is so nice. I won't be wearing my favorite socks for a while though as I remember my service boots turned my socks black.

I love the brown, but someday I hope to nab RC's and the black is pure badass.

Great entry into the world of engineer boots, Summer! How's the fit?

[summ3rhays]

The fit is perfect. I was a little worried about width, but it's damn near perfect.  My size 11 service boot fits perfect so I went the same. It's tough to compare as there really isn't anything about the work toe last.

Wish I could contribute something but Im afraid I can only post a picture of the UPS "Sorry we missed you" slip. 

Now i'm sitting here trying to decide if I should sign the slip and take a chance with them sitting on my porch all day….or live without them all weekend and catch them on their third delivery attempt when I have the day off monday. I know I have the rest of my life to enjoy em, but the thought of going without all weekend after the pre-order wait just seems like agony!

I think we all here know that feeling. Hoping for a happy ending for you either way

[ColdStorage]

The HAPPIEST of all possible endings!
Boots were left on porch during day, picked up safely at night, and fit great!

Well… maybe not "fit great' cause they are a BITCH to take off but... why would i ever take them off?!

[madmonday]

^^
boots almost look different colors (one black & the other brown) in your images . . . . must be the lighting or my monitor.

[ColdStorage]

Keen eye! Yup… One is black and one is brown which leaves two possibilities.

1. ironheart quality control has slipped considerably.
2. I was so torn between which color that I went to the reckless extreme of purchasing both.

...which one sounds more likely? 

[madmonday]

glad both pairs fit well 

you are a man after my own heart

[D97x7]

Nice pick up, ColdStorage.
I know what you mean about taking them off, I nearly put my back out doing so the other night.
