      Those look great @Friday love the flat toe. Pics on the forum of Davito's Viberg horse engineers are what made me start lusting after a pair. I'm holding off on another pair of engineers until I can get some in horsehide.

          Those blow my mind.  If the shaft was 1" higher and those had toe tracks they would be the ultimate engineer boot.  Can't get over how nice that leather is…next time they make those I got to do it!  How much were they again?

            Wow, those pics are really making me kick myself for not grabbing a pair when they available. I've had some sizing issues with my Road Champs so I was gun shy.

            @grandmasterben I think they were around $900

                Nice ones jeff!

                @superfuzz, am i crazy or is that a pretty good deal considering these are horsehide engineers made by viberg?  For instance, I love the lofgrens and they felt great, but these just blow my mind honestly

                  I thought I was a fair price. They might have been $950. I should've gotten them and just returned them if they didn't fit. There will be other horse engineers tho.

                      I'm in New York. This store Gentry is getting some Vibergs so I might go try them out. One problem is I have kind of small feet, 7.5 in most boots, and a lot of shops don't get those sizes.

                        damn, that's awesome that you can try them on.  I've looked and I'm surprised i can't really find any viberg stockists in la.

                          I know feet are different GMB, but aren't you a 9.5 in Lofgrens? I would hazard a guess you're an 8.5 in Viberg.

                          Think it, be it.

                            I will post pics next week.  I am selling them…...

                            @Giles,
                            remember to look inside the boots before selling them…

                              I tried a 9 in lofgrens that went on in half a second and I felt my foot "snap" into the boot and they were super comfy, and I tried on the 8.5 where I couldn't even get my smaller foot through the shaft.

                              So you went one full size down from lofgrens?

                                I'm 9.5 in most US shoes, and could probably be fine in a 9 Lofgren–I have a nice thick gel insole in there and it's pretty snug that way. Might be able to do an 8 Viberg, but 8.5 works great.

                                Think it, be it.

                                  Bummer! Why are you selling them? Fit didn't work?

                                  Fit's perfect and they are beautiful, but I don't need 5 pairs of Viberg.  I bought all those Viberg partly to understand the fits etc.  Now I look after Wesco's interests in Europe, I need to do the same with Wesco, so my Vibergs will be moved on…

                                    Fwiw if you have a normal feet , no high instep and extra wide foot, sizing down 1 from your normal US size would be fine.

                                    I you're a normal 9US then 8 in viberg and 8.5 would be fine put into consideration how thick the socks you're going to wear. Better a bit big rather than too small. But if you're considering only on engineer boot, to
                                    my experience how high your instep is the most important factor.

                                    Just my 2cents worth

                                        Yeah, I think that the reason why I did the 9 easy in lofgren even though I'm a true 9.5 on a brannock is that the arch on my foot isn't high at all, making it very easy to get through the shaft.

                                          I am also a 9.5D Brannock but I have fairly high arches.

                                          Think it, be it.
