          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.

            @Chap great boots! Creeping around these exact Chelseas for a while…
            what about sizing in these compared to other Bergs?

              Got them in the same size as the service boots @jay-cy

                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.

                    If that is a US9 then I suspect 8.5 in the Vibergs is correct. I base that on the fact that Viberg use U.K. sizing.

                      I can't say about Viberg, I go TTS with RW @dreigh

                      Well, I have others.

                        I'm sure everyone thinks I am flaky for tearing up my shoes. But I just wanted to show you how much wider my feet are than the profile of the shoe…

                        My shoes are still a little snug with the insoles so I am stretching them out a bit.

                        And you can see an indentation of the sole into the foam.

                        My foot is every bit as wide as this insole is.

                        Even though they are snug now, they are so much more comfortable with the new insoles and no arch support.

                          Was lucky to find these a few years ago. Epic rare boot in my opinion, I have Viberg horsebutt service boots as well (see lots of service boots), but this was a unique find, and love the fact I've never seen another pair in the wild.

                          I've received countless questions and compliments about these boots.

                          This is a pair of Viberg Black Waxed Flesh Country Derby boots…like all exceptional boots, they absolutely feel great to wear even at 2lbs a boot! 🙂

                          Sorry for the crappy pic....

                            two weeks ago i saw quite a big viberg collection in beriln.
                            for me the most interesting boot was this one:
                            Country Derby Boot Black Waxed Flesh

                            anyone else interested in these?
                            cheers, TAA.

                            Ha! Finally another pair….obviously a man with superb, exquisite, and sublime taste, and undoubtedly incredibly intelligent and handsome as well......LOL LOL.

                            Did you get these?

                                These are the country derby in brown waxed flesh; going on four years; veritable tanks. I’ve never conditioned these. They only get a brushing maybe once a month.

                                    Thanks @Seul ! Out of 4 Viberg boots, all of which I like equally, this pair gets the most use…something about them just beckons to pull them out of the closet and on the road.
