Viberg

[Engineer]

@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

@ghettomedic:

How dose virburg's sizes run i wear a size 11 1/2 D in Danner and Wesco boots.Any help would be appreciated.

@ghettomedic I size down .5 from Wesco to Viberg (from 12.5 to 12) but you may get varying opinions…

[davito]

Thanks man @Appfaff yes I wear em hard, resole soon

@Finn666:

them somehow look like wesco´s and not like your typical viberg type of last?! @EJS …can you upload a couple more shots, just showing the boot and all please?

Just remembered I never did this, here you go..

The Aged Bark Rough Out is really nice indeed!

[Finkster]

agreed - beautiful … Rough Outs 4 the win!

Nicest boots I've owned, seriously considering some Wesco FPs though which sound much more comfortable. I guess these fit but think the 2030 last isn't ideal for me…

@EJS  I've owned two pairs of 2030 boots, and the Foot Patrols are much more comfortable.  Granted, everyone's feet are different, so this is just my observation.  The 2030 is fairly flat and tight across the top of the foot, whereas the FP has a little more room.  Also, I think the FPs are (marginally) better made.

[EJS]

Thats really good to know, thanks. How does the 2030 compare to the FP sizing wise?

Meadow x Viberg. Would wear.

Just ordered some 2045 Boondockers, very excited!

[Sugar Mountain]

^ Glad to see you taking the plunge!

[Broark]

I definitely took my time mulling it over, but seeing your worn in pair again just pushed me over the edge!
Now I'm just waiting for the tracking number so I can monitor that way too frequently.

[Sugar Mountain]

I'm always happy to be an enabler. You'll love the boots when they arrive. Did you buy from Viberg.com?

[Broark]

Yup, ordered from the Viberg website. I like the raw cord sole a lot, nice detail.
I'm guessing they will also ship with leather laces? I think that would suit the Boondockers well.

[Sugar Mountain]

Mine came with leather laces, though I've always used the waxed cotton ones as it seemed more appropriate for a military boot. I think the leather laces got used when I tried to smarten up my old Red Wing oxfords.
