      Thrilled with these new Chelseas. Viberg for Division Road in a CF Stead waxed suede. I wanted a boot for work and play that was somewhat hardy but could dress up. 2030, my favorite last. Ticked all the boxes. Very pleased after months of looking for the perfect build.

        @Karol those are sweet!! How’s the sizing compared to Iron Rangers? Looking to maybe get some Nicks to turn into hiking boots.

            Yeah those Viberg chelseas are sweet, been eyeing those quite a bit lately. Luckily I haven't been able to find my size.

              Thanks fellas. I wish I could capture the color a little better. It’s a bit richer and darker than they appear. These are my first non-stitch down Vibergs and they are impeccable. Over the moon with em.

                  @Mizmazzle I go with the same size with Iron Ranger and the two Nicks that I have - builderpro and americana. They feel very similar despite the difference between 55 and HNW last.

                    @Karol thanks dude. Yes I’m looking at the HNW last Overlanders myself. Want room to be able to wear thicker socks for winter hiking as well. Do you find the sizing to be much different between the 55 last and the HNW?

                        @Mizmazzle I have not noticed the difference between 55 and the HNW. Regarding the extra space, my thing is to size the boot for a thick sock, and put a woolen felt insert when I fancy to wear the boots with a thinner sock.
                        I just seen that Nicks has released video about lasts and sizing. Take a look, maybe it will be helpful.

                          Hi everyone, with getting older I have to face the fact that my feet change and I realised that in most of my boots the toes of my right food do not have enough width. I only wear Red Wing right now and have had nothing else besides a pair of indys a couple years ago. I am thinking of selling my RW except one pair that fits good and getting one or two new pairs. What can you recommend for a guy with slim heels, low instep and wide forefoot?

                          PS: here in Germany we do not have a bunch of widths to choose from, it's mostly all d for Red Wing...

                                @FlavourFade I find Viberg 310 last to be incredibly comfortable. Wide, tall toe box. The ankle and heel sits nicely comfortable for me. I’m a 9D in all my Red Wings. The 310 comes in an E and I rather enjoy the added width.

                                In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                  Thanks @Mizmazzle ! I think maybe something with a munsoon last could be also good. I need a snug fit (and cand stand heelslip) but with more room for my toes.

                                    @FlavourFade I seem to have similar foot shape to yours.
                                    Low instep but with toes being rather wide and actually 'tall' if that makes sense, with humble heel.

                                    I am finding viberg's 2040 last very comfortable.
                                    Here's 2040 next to 2030, both in the same size: 10.5E

                                        For "expensive" and high quality shoes and boots with the Munson (or inspired) last, consider the following options:

                                        • White's boots (Swing last)
                                        • Nick's boots (Thurman last)
                                        • John Lofgren boots (M-43 last)

                                        For "cheaper" and less quality shoes and boots with the Munson (or inspired) last, consider the following options:

                                        • Birkenstock (Normal footbed)
                                        • GEA Waldviertler (respectively, G or H width)

                                            As much as I love my engineers, service boots, smokejumpers, cowboy boots, and hikers, I am starting to think my platonic ideal for an everyday boot is the whole-cut Chelsea in some form of hardy, water resistant leather. Stick your toes in it and pull the tab and you’re ready to roll, and it still looks like a boot coming out of the hem.

                                            That said, today’s boots:

                                            Think it, be it.
