Viberg

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!

[Broark]

Thanks @organisys I think they are even nicer than I imagined they would be!

You can't go wrong with Boondockers    …  epic footwear

[mikebarhoot]

Great. Thanks for the GAW.

[Broark]

Thanks for the kind words guys, I wore them today for the first time. About 8 hours or so on my feet and didn't really feel any discomfort while breaking them in. Looking forward to wearing these daily!

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!

I guess I mean more specifically an 11.5, they seem to stop at 11.
That being said I don't need any more boots for some time, plus my buddy is going to stop by the Viberg sample sale this weekend and might be able to get me a few pairs.

[Finkster]

Ah, o.k. … Good luck! 

[FurattoHeddo]

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 

[Finkster]

Thx, mate

The fit is very comfy - that's all, what I can say for now. 
Currently, I own ca. 35 boots (I don't know it exactly  ) 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.

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

[seanocono]

^I used to feel the same way, but I have come around.  I can appreciate the attraction to a sole like this if you work long days on your feet.

I also think this particular sole looks much nicer than the marshmallow Christy.

Good score, Finkster.

[Finkster]

Thx a lot, fellas

Yep - usually, I tend also to other sole types .. but this was a 'missing link' in my collection.
And after 3 days of constant wear - I'm deeply contented - so comfy! 

[Bluegrass]

I'm with you - not a huge fan, but I have 1 pair with this sole and it's kind of cool.  Nice to be able to afford having a "niche" boot :). Life is good.
