    @Denimhead-0 I’ve been looking seriously at the 2040 last. Great looking boot. How does it compare to the 310 as far as fit and comfort?

    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...

          I’ve been wearing the boots inside in the evenings and I’m very impressed with these boots so far. My biggest mistake was going to Viberg and trying on their boots as it spoilt me. The good thing was I got the sizing right when it came time to order these boots online from @brooklynclothing Although I haven’t actually done much walking in them, they are very comfortable wearing them around the house so far. I really like the sleekness of the Commando sole compared to the chunkyness of the Vibram lug sole in regards to looks. With my RedWing Roughnecks, it’s very evident that it has a lug sole while the Vibergs look more refined while still having the traction when needed.

          I’ve been a Red Wing fan for at least 30 years and always liked the look of the Iron Ranger with Hawthorne mule skinner leather. I’m not a fan of the Vibram mini lug sole that comes with them so I have shied away from them. I actually thought about getting a pair and getting them resoled in the past, which thankfully never happened or I wouldn’t have these Vibergs now. The Vibergs are also a step up in quality and comfort.

          There is also something nice about having something that is made “local”. Most of the Vibergs I’ve seen in the wild here on Vancouver Island have been work boots (logging, ferry workers, etc.) or dress boots. I think these boots kind of straddle the line resulting in a very capable casual boot. I like the lugged sole as most of my walking is done on forest paths and dirt roads with some pavement when I go to town. My RW Roughneck boots have been main go to boots for the past few years (since I got them) due to it’s sole, so I knew I wanted a lugged sole when I bought the Vibergs.

          I ordered some Saphir Super Invulner to protect them from water and stains and will spray the boots before wearing them outside. I know these boots won’t look like they do now for long and it will be interesting to watch how they patina. I was thinking of entering them into the Stitchdown Patina Thunderdome, but I don’t know if I can wait until Oct 1st to start wearing them. I also want to break them in as I am considering bringing them to Nepal and Thailand this winter…

            @Denman-John I can’t wait to see the patina. They will only look better with age and wear.

              @Denman-John Great write up and awesome boots. I’ve never owned a pair of Vibergs and looks like I should change that someday. Looking forward to more posts as you break them in and add patina. Thanks for posting!

                    @SonnyTheElder That’s too bad that they didn’t run your size as I also feel that it’s a great makeup. At least you saved some money that you can divert elsewhere …

                            Think I'm selling my few pairs of Red Wings and going to a Viberg 2040. Anyone have experience with the Munson last? I think Truman boots were my gateway to higher quality footwear and now I just don't find the Red Wings comfortable anymore

                                @Denman-John I had to do a double take on those red wing Mocs of yours. They look identical to mine. Same green laces and everything 🤣🤣

                                    Any reason you went with the Pachena Bays over the hikers if that was the case?

                                      @ZackB PBs are a bit taller and have a padded collar. I use them for hiking and backpacking and needed that extra ankle support.

                                        I can’t say enough good things about these boots. I’ve been wearing them daily for the past month here in Nepal and am so happy that I brought them. They have great traction on the trails with the Commando Sole and are very comfortable to wear all day. I am also pleased on how they are beginning to patina and are starting to show some character. 3 months old.
