Viberg

Ha! I know that twitch…

[Engineer]

@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.

Thanks Engineer . The narrow toe box has me concerned .

Still twitchy too !

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

[jock1624]

Twitch funnily enough has subsided .

Here you are :

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.

[Engineer]

A few recent ones…

Waxed Flesh Derby boots for the jobsite.

Tan roughout service boots for the office.

[jock1624]

Very nice Engineer .

[Seul]

Well Engineer'ed.

no steal-toes "for the jobsite" ? @Engineer
from the pic i'm guessing you're a construction engineer?

No steel toes required, since I wasn't doing any manual labor.  I'm a civil engineer - just visiting a project we designed.
