Some pictures of my waxed flesh derby boots.  These have seen a lot of use - I'll probably send them in toward the end the year for a resole and to replace one of the (cracked) toeboxes.  For now, they're my hiking and jobsite boots.  I hiked for several hours through wet grass and mud this weekend, and my feet stayed dry.

Clean, with help from the garden hose.

I believe these are Dave Himel's boots. If not, they are the same thing.

That's a nice looking pair of Chelsea's @Finn666 how did they happen?

[Bluegrass]

Wow @Finn666  those are killer!

[Finkster]

+1 … never saw Viberg Chelsea Boots before .. awesome!

[Sugar Mountain]

It's a new pattern that they've been trialing. One or two images have popped up on IG and Styleforum in recent months.

Damn @Finn666, they look amazing. I was actually thinking to myself just last night that I wish there were more awesome chelsea boots around, missing my old pair.

I've never been a huge fan of Chelsea boots but I must say Finn's look real nice.  Very clean.

[Finn666]

thanks a ton guys…really super happy to own these and totally in love with´em
iirc, i´m one of the first "none directly to viberg related people" who owns a pair of their chelsea boots ^^

these are a sample pair which popped up on Instagram one day and which i couldn´t take my eyes off...the leather is arabica calf suede full grain on a 2030 (boot) last stitched on a dainite sole.

here´s a pic when new/unworn and straight out of the box:

so all in all, thanks a fecking ton to my favorite boot brand out there for making this happen @Viberg

Hey guys, I have a (dreaded) sizing question.
Over at Styleforum they're rerunning the Hopper boot and I've decided that I really like the build so I'm going to grab a pair. I've never tried on Vibergs, and my current go to boot is a pair of Alden Indy boots which are an 11.5. I also have a pair of Alden black shell cordovan boots which are also and 11.5 but I'm unsure which last they are. Possibly the Grant last, and they are a little snug.
I'm guessing that the safe bet would be a size 11 in the 2005 last?

How do you buy a pair of viberg boots if you live in the U.S.

My Wesco foot patrol are 11.5. I wear Viberg 11 in both of my pairs. It may depend on the last though. I've heard some run smaller or more narrow.

@ghettomedic Viberg Engineers run short, compared to other Vibergs.  I wear a 9.5D in Wesco Jobmasters and Wesco Packers, 9E in Wesco Foot Patrols.  I had a pair of Viberg Engineers in 8.5EE, and they were too short - I should've bought a 9.

Thanks for the replies
