      @Engineer:

      @Filthy Just for reference, I generally wear a 10.5 or 11 in running shoes.  I have some 2045 service boots in size 9, and they fit wonderfully.  They started a little tight across the top of my feet, but I have a high instep to begin with.  Hope you enjoy them!

      What leather are these, please? I need some!

          Viberg Stallions just arrived a couple days ago. It finally cooled down enough yesterday to try them out. I've wanted these for a few years now. I have a similar pair of Red Wing Pecos but the Vibergs are just a different level in my opinion. Here they are with the IH-XHSib

            Hard to beat the relaxing effect of lying in a hammock with your feet up after a two hour bike ride up the mountains.

            These IHxViberg hikers have become my motorcycle companions as they are still the best fit for my slowly de-swelling right foot. I bought them off @Appfaff and they quickly proved themselves a great buy.

            The journey is the objective.

                Surprising they had two previous owners before I got them; they were nearly mint condition! I really like the tough & thick but supple feel of the oil tan leather.

                  The boots that keep on giving!!!

                  I will admit, I am OCD about how boots are kept so they were thoroughly cleaned, brushed, and sprayed before my use, and then brushed before sending your way 🙂

                                  I ended up ripping out the arch support in my Vibergs. Even after months of wear they were still uncomfortable and the arch  support was too narrow so my foot would fall over the edge of it and into the gap between the sole and the upper leather.

                                  I got these sheepskin and foam insoles from ebay but they were too thick in the toe box… so the boot was too tight. But I squished the foam flat to a taper with my plywood and clamps. I used a long pipe to get enough mechanical advantage to get the clamps tight enough. I was going to use a bottle jack press to squeeze it even more. But this worked great.

                                  I sized the insoles up one size and got extra wide and then cut the front down a tad to fit the toe box. I used cardboard to male a template to get the fit just right. I left the area near the arch and heel uncut so it is extra wide. Now the boots are much more comfortable now.

                                  I am very happy with how they feel now. You can still feel the heel. But now that the insole is flat,  they are so much better.

                                    what about sizing in these compared to other Bergs?

                                        Thanks! So I need a 12.5 which isn‘t available. 13 should work then.

                                          I’m a 9D in RW Iron Rangers…I have an opportunity to purchase some natural CXL service boots in either 8.5 or 9, and I’ve received advice to size down to the 8.5 to account for the extra width of the 2030, AND I’ve had others say to go with a 9 (sigh). I’ll be ordering from Canada, so I’d love to get it right the first time...for those of you that own 2030s and Iron Rangers, what is your sizing recommendation?

                                          Oh, and I am a 9 in the narrower 2050-lasted Chelsea boot.
