    @Engineer:

    Am I crazy for ordering another pair?  😶 😢

    @BloodnThunder I figure as long as you can get your foot in, and they aren't painful, you should be good. 😃

    Oh hell no, if you like them get em  😉

    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
    Well, I have others.

        Ordered and arriving Monday!  🙂

        The EE-width is perfect with thicker socks, and the D-width (on order) should be perfect with thin socks.

        One of my favorite details of this boot is the Vibram 705 sole, and how Viberg put in a "half-slip" to keep the sole a constant thickness.  When other manufacturers use a 705 sole, there's often a thin area in front of the heel, shown below.  Not so with the Vibergs.

        @rocket  Thanks!!!  Looks good with the shorts.  I don't have enough steez to wear them like that, though.  😉

                    I was legitimately concerned that someone was going to be excited about this look.

                          Just tried, yes, but they would sit on the buckle not over it…..

                                I should know later today; my D-width engineers are on the truck for delivery.

                                  I had to sell my D width pair for being too narrow, so any insight is appreciated.

                                    Also very interested to find this out.  (Especially since the styleforum GMTO of these will be in 'EE'.)

                                    FH, how wide are your feet, and how wide were the pair you had to sell off?

                                      Ok…so, the D-width engineers are on my feet (via plastic bag method).  I'm wearing medium-weight cotton socks today.  The initial tightness in the shaft is about the same - in other words, entrance/removal still requires some effort and/or trickery.  On the brannock, my feet are US 9.5D/9E (L/R).  I got the engineers in 8.5EE and 8.5D.

                                      As expected, the EE-width has more volume and width throughout.  The D-width has a noticeably tighter/narrower heel, instep & toebox.  The D-width feels a bit shorter, likely due to the lower volume, and I get minimal (if any) slippage walking around with the straps loosely buckled.

                                      To draw a comparison to other Viberg lasts, I'd say the 8.5EE engineer fits like an 8.5 on the 110 last.  The 8.5D engineer feels a tad smaller than an 8.5 on the 2030 last.

                                        Just had my first hike with these boots. Very comfortable and it surprised me how easy I walked. My size is 10 ee which is the same as my indy's end wesco's. A tad big but wth thick socks no problem. Very tempted to get the 10 d as well.

                                          I've got to say, these boots break in incredibly fast for how brutal the first few wears were.  After only about a week I am no longer needing to bag my feet to get them on, the soles are molding nicely, and they are becoming easier to get off.  Blister/rubbing issues have been non-existent which is a rare commodity with new boots.
