IHVB-05 - The Wild Ones - Iron Heart/Viberg Engineer Boot Collaboration

[putgildain]

Thanks, guys.  I did go back and read the thread.  As with most Viberg threads, sizing experience seems all over the place.  I read that these boots are hard to get on and off.  Wondering if ideally you go with the wider fitting to help getting them on and off?  but maybe it does not matter.

If you have a average width feet, imo a 10.5D is equal to a 10EE and will result in more or less the same fitting.

Some reported this and needed to use the plastic bag trick.
Personal I had no problem at all to get them on and off is also not really a struggle.  And it's leather so they will stretch some what anyway…

Sizing footwear online without a personal try is just a pain in the ass....

[putgildain]

Thanks again, Rocket.  I agree – sizing without trying shoes/boots on is not the optimal strategy.  But Viberg and all of its lasts are not readily available so it is sometimes the best we can do.

you are welcome and yeah sure, just doing research and getting a personal idea out of it, does def minimize a miss, in this hit and miss game…

[BloodnThunder]

@putgildain I wouldn't worry about the difficulty of getting them on and off.  Mine were not easy to get on and off for the first week or so but since then it has been very easy.  After only like 5 days of decent wear they have already molded a good amount and broke in well.  For the first few wears, if you can get them on, with a bag or not, and your feet aren't in agony after 30 minutes I think you'll be golden.

Whoever snatched up those 10.5D in the black if they do not work out PLEASE let me know thanks!

@Akuma:

Whoever snatched up those 10.5D in the black, if you let them go now then that will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you. And I will kill you.

Edited for accuracy.

Akuma, you may be in luck. I got the 10.5D in black, I'm hoping they will work out for me but I seriously doubt it. I guess I went for them kind of on a hail mary attempt. I'll only get to try them on on the 24th, and I'll let you know.

In the same vein, if whoever got the 10D in black isn't happy with them, PLEASE let me know. Thanks!

If your interested motojobobo, Let me know. I have two pairs in 10 d and ee. Sizewise the difference is quite minimal so I am considering to let one of them go.

[Graeme]

This is all getting a bit…

[Akuma no uta]

Hell yeah @motojobobo let me know via PM if they don't work!

[Jesselirola]

so there's an 11.5 in there, generally – well all of my viberg's are 11's (*UK sizing that is) anyone have a n 11 they'd rather be in an 11.5 and if anyone thinks for any reason that you need to be running these a 1/2 size larger than your normal viberg size let me know!

also --- the 11.5 is brown, i'd rather do black if i have a choice or a miracle in this instance...

thanks
