IHVB-05 - The Wild Ones - Iron Heart/Viberg Engineer Boot Collaboration

[manufc10]

Damn @bryaneidins70 those look great!  I love the overall look of this boot, I think this is my favorite so far.  I really like the look of the 2005 Viberg last and the heel seems shorter than the Wescos.  I posted a pair of CXL Vibergs I've been looking at that have the 2005 last but it has an unstructured toe. I'm guessing the Wild Ones are not an unstructured toe?  What's the consensus on an unstructured toe?  @neph93, @Appfaff?

If you don’t need it for safety then it’s a matter of personal taste. Those that care about such things appreciate it for it’s vintage vibe and authenticity.

For engineers, I'm a big fan of the unstructured toe. I think it lends itself to a more sleek look overall. But, as @neph93 said, if you have a practical need for a toe box, go for it.

Also, as this is a fashion forum and we tend to talk about these things….. Imho, how you imagine the boots to look after a few years matters too. If you smile at the thought of them being beat to hell (And don't have a need for the structured toe box), go unstructured.

Thanks for input guys.  Greatly appreciated.  I think I see a few pairs of engineers in my future.

Ironheart uk crew would you have any spare buckles in stock?

I've lost one of the small ones?

Thank you Alex, they look about right.

They are slightly different, but effectively the same size
