Like you say. With 30pr in rotation. Shouldnt matter.
Thats a great looking boot.
So @Broark, that wat you ordered? Yes, i could read back to see but driving atm.

The GYW vs. Stitchdown debate is a bunch of pretentious cork-sniffing. I love my GYW Vibergs and actually like how the welt contrasts against the Color 8 CXL. If I bought another pair I'd probably go stitchdown though for variety's sake.
I feel like I've read that GYW has better longevity because stitchdown construction can lead to tearing in the resoling process, but I can't remember for sure.

And here they are! I'm very happy with these boots, I ended up ordering an 11.5 in the 2045 boondockers (half a size down from by brannock size) and they feel really nice. There's a little bit of extra room in the toes but my feet aren't slipping around or anything like that. Really nice presentation with the packaging and the way they were shipped. The first thing I noticed about these was how nice they smelled coming out of the box.
Ordered on 5/25, received today 6/1. Slight delay due to the holiday but no complaints. These definitely feel more like a workboot compared to the other nice boots I have (two pairs of Aldens) and just more rugged all around. I can tell the raw cord sole is going to take some breaking in, it's quite stiff initially.
I can tell this won't be my last pair of Viberg boots, now the only question that remains is which laces should I use?

Great score! Look awesome!

Thanks @organisys I think they are even nicer than I imagined they would be!
-
Great. Thanks for the GAW.

Good stuff, the 1035 last looks nice.
I like most Viberg boots outside the 2030 last which is too dainty for me.
I like that brown color, too bad they don't make half sizes!My boots are 9,5

They look great @Finkster … I've been eyeing those same snuff suede in a 1035 last on Burg&Schild. How's that last and how does it compare to other lasts?
What completely baffles me is that Viberg cannot be bothered to finally update all the info on the different lasts they offer: https://viberg.com/pages/size-guide

Love the colour but call me a bstd , I find that style of sole hard to
warm up too. However if it works then on you go lad .Cheers
) from different brands (including some Wesco's and Vibergs) .. and I've never thought about the lasts … the look is primary and it fits - or not.
