@quantummechanic and @madmonday
Here's the Vibergs I scored at DR's sample sale.They're the prototype Pinky Blinder (major differences from the eventual production version) 2030 last, stitchdown, brown cxl. Super greatfull I lucked into these.
Excellent name , thumbs up, very nice boot.

Great idea to do a side-side comparison of the differences between those two makeups @Dishelveled . I came close to ordering those two, one after the other, held off waiting for my '1035 service boot' personal ideal makeup. I don't like the white sole. Hope it comes around. ::)

Awesome boots @rio Can't wait to see that leather evolve. Def have thought about waxing mine after they get thoroughly beat up (so bout 20 years for me) I've seen pics of black roughout boots that appear to lighten considerably with wear and they didn't really vibe that well, vs the lighter colored nat cxl roughouts that just look incredible when beat up!
I'm with you @Seul these new DR iterations are just that much better than my version–antiqued brass eyelets, no pull tab, more sleek looking profile, and that leather oozes character. Kinda like the scout make up more, but just splitting hairs at that point.
Cheers @motojobobo Any pics of this dream boot you mentioned? And which white soles are you referring? I still cant get behind the Gloxi, but have totally changed my tune on the Christy.
Damn my posts are getting voluminous, Rueben's rubbing off on me–wait that came out wrong, haha!

I am interested in these Vibergs. The seller does not know which last they are.
Does anybody know which last are these VibergxHeritage Research Boots?

Looks like the 110 last to me. My favorite.

@MET Looks similar to these https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5285.0 which are on the 160 apparently. My Viberg last game is weak though…

I've been attempting to find a way to source a pair of the boots below, but to no avail - any pointers on how best to secure a pair in the UK/Europe would be much appreciated.
The description reads - Viberg Service Boot 1950 Vibram 2021 Round Toe.

Most probably they are last 110 and I've bought them.

@MET, I’m almost positive those are on the 110. The 110 last generally has a lower block heel while the 160 has a curved heel one stack higher.
@IH-GARY, it will be difficult to find that build with Viberg. Viberg has done very limited MTOs which they’ve done ~3 times the past five years or so. As far as color, it’s hard to know for sure looking at the pics, but it appears to be a bright red leather which may have been discontinued in recent years. Red dog or redwood oil tan may be the closest to that color, or maybe red dog is actually that color, not sure. Alternatively, a custom build on White’s C461 last or Wesco’s bump toe will get you close to the Viberg boots.

Thanks @spacecadet
Viberg was very **helpful(!)**about those boots' last by the way. I was told that I would better ask the seller himself. -

Nice.
Gotta love quality service.

@MET:
I have a few Vibergs and I would not buy another new pair again.
I have a pair that I had custom made in 2012 and I absolutely love them. Jason Viberg was great at helping me get exactly what I wanted and properly sized. That said, things have changed a lot in the last six years, and I doubt I'll ever buy another pair, either.
