IHVB-05 - The Wild Ones - Iron Heart/Viberg Engineer Boot Collaboration
-
MC ride, hanging out, 4 wheeler ride and a beer. Pretty perfect weekend.
-
If I ever require new boots they will most likely be these or Wesco Boss…..luckily we have a one stop shop here
-
I just sold a pair of boots….can I operate a one in, one out policy?
-
I do.
Sometimes I operate on a "one out, two in" system. Whatever fits the current need.

Mine arrived a couple of days ago, they look great and feel great when on, Walked a good few kilometers and no hint of blisters.
Getting them on and off takes a bit of a commitment. First time I had to do the old plastic bag over my socks trick. Easing up a bit now but still a ways off being able to throw them on in a hurry in the morning.

Well, I can tell you that Curtis Mayfield "Move On Up" was jamming in the background…

Ok, I've been a bit shit out of luck with sizing on these. I'm a size 9 in 2045. 1035, 2030, 110(which was a tad wide but workable), and 310(my other engineers) Viberg lasts. These unfortunately I copped a 9 and tried working them in thinking they would give a bit up front. They did, but not as much as I would like as I get that annoying big toe touching. Not sore, but just touching. Measured up against all my other lasts sole to sole I would say they are .5mm shorter as well. In my honest opinion I would say the 9 in these is a 8.5.
So, if they is anybody out there in IH land having a too big issue in the brown pm me please if your keen for a swap. I'm looking for a 9.5D to swap with my 9D.
I have been wearing them quite a lot. They are well worn in, but not trashed. so if someone else's are newer we could come to some arrangement. I also trimmed the strap as It was way too long once I did them up as I have a lower instep and need them snug for no heel slippage.
Really held of having to do this as I love them heaps and did not want to let them go. I could keep bearing the fit, but I would end up getting the worn spot on the outside big toe look. Tbh, I hate the toe bulges on a shoe/boot fit up front.

Yeah D97, I stuffed up by having faith in my normal size and ran with it. Bummer..
-
Once you take that first step on a hard surface they are no return!

Bit too wide therocks. Thanks for the heads up though mate.

These pics show where my my toe is.. I'm thinking after more wear the toe area will wear more which I'm not into.
