IHVB-03CT - Iron Heart/Viberg 8" Smoke Jumper - Reverse-out "Copper Task"
-
I tried it, but they were too wide for my tastes (though it depends on what shirt I'm wearing).
Or did you mean just double cuff and pull them down over the boot? (I sort of dig the high cuff thing
I probz should just hem one of these days.

SO I'm waiting for the mailman to deliver my newly re-soled IHVB-03. I decided to have the commandos taken off and had VIberg put on flat dainite soles. Now I know this goes against the concept or something, but I just couldn't get into the technical look. Plus I didn't like walking around with those big lugs on the bottom. I'm hoping that I have "refined" them a bit, made them look more like something James Bond would wear hunting in 1962.
Pics to follow shortly…

can't wait to see them, as that is a very original approach to that sort of boot . . . .
-
To me it throws the balance off, they look so top heavy. But all that matters is you're happy. I kind of like them being clodhoppers. People can hear my ass from miles away when I'm stomping around the office
-
I think so. I'm a 9.5us and take an 8.5 here.
-
Look what was in the mail today
-
can i ask anyone with these boots if a uk 10.5 would be true for an 11.5 us size? thank you advance
I am a 11.5 on a brannock device and I wear a 10.5 in Viberg 2030, 2045 and 240 last. They have all been tight at 1st and after a few wears have become my most comfortable boots.

And looking very good…...
Thanks again for the super fast delivery. As always it was a pleasure to do business with you!!!
These boots are badass. Love them. Think I'll have to sell a few others of my collection now…
-
Congrats man. I really love these boots.
-
I am constantly eyeing the pair of 10.5 that keep popping up on eBay. 2 problems they are way overpriced and secondly not sure why someone would exchange the lug sole for a dianite sole on these but McClain is so right these are dead sexy
-
Are the ones on ebay SpringSonOfLights??
Pretty sure he had the lugs off and danites installed instead -
I do not think so. He told me months back those were gone. Maybe the dude who bought them is trying to resell them.
-
Ahh, makes sense. I remembered him doing it so i figured id ask

i decided to treat my rough out copper task boots with dubbin after doing some research on youtube and via forums. the advice is provided by military, x-military and military enthusiast guys treating their rough out boots in the way it was done in preparation for the water and gas filled environments of the conflicts in the first half of the twentieth century.
