Viberg

[Seul]

I also had it just on the one foot, denimeric.

Me too, right heel only.

Me too with right heel, you just gotta walk it off [emoji6]

Heel slip is an inevitable breaking-in deal on engineers and similar boots. Hopefully it will go away soon.

[trail and arrow]

never had heel slip problems on my engineers.
hope yours will be fine soon, gav.

Give em time as soon as they break in, they will mold nicely to your feet. Comfy Insoles helped me personally in my VMC annis in the beginning to get used to a "new" walking style, now dont need em insoles any longer

I have had this with every boot I have ever had to break in. Always put it down to my feet being pussies from being in sneakers for long periods of time.

@Megatron1505:

The Vibergs are causing me some severe heel rub pain, I've been reading about wearing 2 pairs of socks, wearing them for just a little each day etc… Anyone have any tips for this, it's caused by the slightest of heel slip, but enough to cause a skin to be worn off.

I use Glide.  It is for running/hiking or whatever.  It goes on like deodorant, but protects the skin against blisters.  Not sure about the UK, but running & fitness stores here have it.  Also Amazon carries it.

Mad, I think Brian did your soles, right?  Beautiful boots.

[mclaincausey]

Hehe I have those socks.

Is that the CXL service boot? I much prefer the capless models like that. Is the last tight on the tops of your feet? It's pretty shallow so I was concerned about that.

[summ3rhays]

Jeff, those are stellar boots. Black service boots are next on my wish list.

[derivative666]

I am in love with Viberg's service boot have black, brown and color 8 all CXL.

My feet are weird long and narrow the 2030 last fits me like a glove.

@madmonday I learned from the best

hahaha

i'm actually gonna sell all my boots except for my Brian make-up.  Then I'm getting a pair of black plain boots (maker doesn't matter) i can wear when i dress up once a year. i've noticed the more space i get the more things i buy to fill it up 

it's a sickness i tell u & they make it so easy with all these nice make-ups.

[Bluegrass]

You said plain black boots!?!?

I know what you mean about this being a sickness.  Too much cool gear.
