Viberg

Anyone know how I can stretch a pair of boondockers just the slightest bit. The 2030 last is a bitch on one of my pairs.

Bring them to a cobbler. That will fix the issue.

Hello all ,

Have a chance at some aged bark service boots , size 11.5 .
I wear a 12 in Beckmans and a 11.5 in the Iron Rangers - so will the Viberg
service boots be a similar fit in 11.5 ?

Thanks never had or worn vibergs before .

[Bluegrass]

@jock1624 I wear a roomy 13 in Red Wing (they don't make 12.5), 12.5 in White's, 12.5 in Wesco - and a comfortable size 12 in Viberg.  Many folks seem to size down 1.0 or .5 size from their standard U.S. sizing.

[jock1624]

Thanks Bluegrass . Still twitching at dropping 1000$ on boots though .

Cheers

[Bluegrass]

Ha! I know that twitch…

@jock1624 , compared to Red Wing Beckman and IR, Viberg's 2030 last has a much lower toebox, so I'd be cautious about sizing down too much.

For reference, I wear an 8.5US Red Wing Beckman and an 8.5 or 9 in Viberg 2030.

[jock1624]

Thanks Engineer . The narrow toe box has me concerned .

Still twitchy too !

They're indestructible animals. And comfier than slippers. Although not as comfy as my Red Wing chukkas…

Ended going with the size 12 , good fit and a very classy pair of boots .
Photos tomorrow .

I see you overcame "the twitch"  :).  Good for you!  LOOKING FORWARD TO THOSE PICS…

[jock1624]

Twitch funnily enough has subsided .

Here you are :

[Bluegrass]

Fantastic!  Congrats….

Very, very nice pair of boots @jock1624. That leather is gorgeous - what is it?

[jock1624]

Yes they are fabulous lads , thanks .  Leather is brown CXL . My Redwings are relegated to the
storage now !

[Sugar Mountain]

Oh nice, I thought it was a little more obscure than that but you can't go wrong with Viberg CXL. The leather on my pair is about twice as thick as on my Indy boots (though I love both…).

[Bluegrass]

I have the same ones, brown cxl, but with a toe cap… very nice.  can't beat it.  nice score.
