    I'm pleased to report that the ani-squeak surgical procedure on my Vibergs has worked.

    I drilled into the sole on about a 45 degree angle in 2 spots and injected a couple CCs of boot oil into the hole.

        How is the anti-squeak treatment holding up @Filthy ?

        The journey is the objective.

                Hey @Filthy how'd you know where to drill the holes? I have a squeaky viberg that that’s very annoying!

                  Wear very thin socks and go for a walk. Try to visualize where the vibration of the squeak is on your foot and go from there. @Peterpiper

                        They are going to release a bunch of old viberg service boots on marrkt later today and I'm thinking of maby grabbing a pair, any advice on the size? I'm a 10D in wesco's and a 10 in Alden Commando last. I was thinking a 9 should do the trick, maby a 9 1/2?

                          It's a bit risky to hazard a guess on sizing, but I'm a 9.5D in American sizing and am an 8.5 in Viberg's 2030 last, so for me it is a full size down from what I would likely wear in Wesco or Alden. Good luck @scarfmace !

                          Think it, be it.

                            I went for these on the 2045 in cxl natural waxed, not sure they'll fit either and the no returns means they might end up for sale on here…

                              Any ideas on how to size these 2030 service boots? I'm US size 10 on Red wing and a US 10.5 on Truman's. I'm in need for a spare boots and this time around I'm considering getting the Viberg.

                              IH-555N | IH-666S-21 | IH-777D | IH-666 XHS | IHG-035 | IHB-06 | IH-721-KHA

                                @the246guy here's what works for me. To clarify I'm 9.5D on Brannock and 8.5 in Viberg 2030

                                  I have the SOP AG side zip Vibergs and I'm pretty sure it's on a 2030.

                                  I wear a 13 in most sneakers and followed my usual rule of thumb for Red Wing / Lofgrens etc got a 12 — they fit but are snug, no thick socks for me. But I will say that my feet are on the bigger end of 13 — I frequently run into the problem of some 13s being too short, and I have to buy a 14 if I buy something like running shoes that need a real proper fit.

                                    No unfortunately not, I was going trough the process of payment when I got the message they where out of stock. I was going for a pair of 310 last in CF Stead Eco Grain Shoulder Ivy

                                      I wouldn't be surprised if a few vibergs start popping up on resale sites over the next few days with the no returns. Fingers crossed mine work out

                                          Natural chromexcel waxed flesh on the 2045 last arrived today. Tried on the burlap foot patrol boots at IHUK when I was there a couple days ago, and I prefer those, but it's becoming clear that lasts that taper to the toe do not work for my feet. So was hoping that these wide and high toe Vibergs might work. They feel pretty good out of the box, with enough room to wiggle toes around. There does though seem to be some room just below the laces, so that the leather seems to be creasing/bulging around the ball of my foot. Wonder if people have experience with this kind of room causing any issues down the line? Am wearing thin socks, so that could help, but also these are cxl so are likely to stretch a lot. Thoughts appreciated.
