      Yep, me too (though Melbourne pavements) but it all worked out nicely.

      Here's mine after a year of wear and a fresh bit of dubbin.

      Here they are upon arrival a year back:

                          Ok, I asked this before, but would be thankful for some experience.

                          I love the feel of the Viberg laces, super soft and "moist", not as cracking dry as other leather laces I encountered so far. But I am kind of scared to pull them real tight, as I ripped Red Wing laces on the second wear. What's your experience - can I pull with strength without worrying?

                            I pull super tight through the eyes, but try not to do it around the hooks.  They will go at some point though…...

                              i wear my IHVB-04-b-o-t since december nearly every second day.
                              the leather laces have never been any issue and i pull them quite tight.
                              they perform and look much better than normal laces, imo (until they break).

                                  @Max Power,
                                  what's the issue with yours?

                                    I believe max has the same issue I do they are small. They are fine when wearing during the day but, too small for hiking. I am taking mine to a cobbler tomorrow to get stretched.

                                      Did you try my shoe tree suggestion? This is a very short last vertically for whatever reason. I shoved a Nordstrom cedar shoe tree in my left one for about a week and it sorted it out for me.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                        I have shoe trees in them, doesn't fix the issue. It's going to the cobbler today  to be stretched

                                          Yes, just like Jeff said. My hikers fit fine within the first hour but when the feet are swollen they rub a bit at the toes. I don't get Blisters but they feel tight. A Cobbler tries to fix that right now.
