      My engineers have been reworked by Felix the Boot maker thanks to @UnTucked for recommending him. Very happy with the finish

        Nice. What did you have done? Re-dyed mids?

          Very nice… there is nothing like a well worn and well looked after boot.

            Those look great! Felix is definitely my go to guy for the remained of my time here in England.

            Did he do a full measure up of your feet and re-last the boots?

              I had a made to order fitting with Viberg last year, but when I received them from Canada, some of the spec wasn't right, and the heal block was square (the Spec I ordered). I wanted a black, not natural leather heal block, and changed my mind re the square rather than tapered heal, so Felix did the following:

              Replace the Catspaw heal with a vibram (the Catspaw are awful! They wore down after a couple of months)
              Added a woodsman taper to the heal block
              Stained the heal block and midsole with dark beeswax

              I'm collecting them from him tomorrow. Can't wait. He is super nice, and the turn around was less than 2 weeks. Total cost £70! That seemed a bargain to me.

                Very reasonably priced for the level of craftsmanship he produces.

                        The finished boot, finally getting to wear it. I'm very happy

                            I've got some 2045 commando boots on the way from Division Road. They advised I size down from a 10.5 sneaker size to a size 9. I hope this is right. Jason seemed convinced that a 9.5 or a 10 would be too big.

                            Either way I am very excited. I hope they are wide enough. But he said the last is like a 4E wide in the fore foot.

                              I keep looking at these. I am so stoked.

                                I wear a 10.5 in sneakers, though I'm an ordinary D width.  Years ago, I bought a size 9 in the 2035 last.  They were snug at first, but they broke in beautifully.  That's the pair of green service boots I wear all the time.  Since the 2045 is wider, I think these will work out for you.  Those are certainly damn nice looking boots.

                                  Thanks Chris! The other thing I am wondering is if the wax will transfer to my jeans much?

                                  Although I think it could be worth it because these look crazy awesome with a patina.

                                    I don't have any personal experience with waxed rough out boots, but I'd guess it wouldn't transfer enough to notice.  That's only a guess, though.

                                      As a public service announcement, Cultizm are having an Easter sale with most things - including Viberg Service Boots in a few different colorways - at 20% off, with free international shipping. That seems to make them a bit of a deal, right? This particular boot is built on their 2030 last; no idea how is the fit & sizing of that one but some you are no doubt familiar with it.

                                        I think 2030 is one size down from your sneaker size.

                                        Unrelated, I still haven't received my boots from Division Road. UPS ground carbon neutral is probably the slowest shipping service I have ever seen! I hope they fit because by the time I receive them it will he beyond the 14 day window I would be able to return them.

                                          I had the same experience, a few months back, when I ordered my crust horsehide engineers from them. I wouldn't worry, though. If memory serves, you get 14 days from the date of delivery, not purchase.
