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 

[Megatron1505]

I just sold a pair of boots….can I operate a one in, one out policy? 

[Giles]

Yes…

[Chris]

I do.

Sometimes I operate on a "one out, two in" system.  Whatever fits the current need.

[demonito]

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.

I found the same, I've got two other pairs of Viberg's in a 9D that fit a treat, the same size in these was way too tight, fortunately there was a 9.5D in stock, so I exchanged and I'm very happy that I did.
Hope you too can find someone to swap with!

[Scottystyles]

Yeah D97, I stuffed up by having faith in my normal size and ran with it. Bummer..

[Scottystyles]

Once you take that first step on a hard surface they are no return!

[theorocks]

dam those browns look fine !
good luck  on the trade ….there is a  brown 9.5 ee in stock ..I feel fortunate that mine fit perfect (9.5d) black love them

[Scottystyles]

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

[Scottystyles]

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.

[rocket]

tried on a pair while being at the honey hole and just saying that these are very comfy right out of the box….

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Well, I saved the money to finally get these…. and my size, 9.5 EE Black is sold out. What a pisser.
