    @SonnyTheElder Again, those look fantastic. The 2040 is such a good last and fit my feet perfectly. See, your patience paid off and you landed these bad boys. Wear them in good health!

            These are so good, just like everybody else I’m constantly looking for OG make ups. I’ve only bought a couple new Viberg’s in the last five years +.

                Amen brother! It's slim pickings for me at size 13 but just makes the pairs I do manage to snag that much sweeter.

                      I’m surprised no one is picking up the Viberg 145 Oxfords that dropped recently. They ain’t cheap but man are they comfortable.

                        @MTpockets I have a pair in the natural CXL. You’re right they are comfy with the vibram soles.

                              I have my eyes on a pair of 2nd hand Service Boots. Viberg sizes fairly similar to Redwings right? 1 full size down from sneaker size?

                                @m4xime I’ve found all my Vibergs are one full size down from Brannock…which is a half size down from Red Wing for me.

                                I’m a 9.5D Brannock.

                                For example I have had 4 pairs of redwings and all were a 9D. I’ve got 3 pairs of Vibergs in three different lasts and I’m an 8.5 in all of them.

                                (I’ve spoke with Brett Viberg himself and he told me if you’re a size in one of their lasts that you’d be the same size in most of their lasts. Obviously all feet are different so that’s an over generalization but holds true for me)

                                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...

                                  @m4xime I don’t own any RW’s, so can’t comment on RW vs Viberg sizing, but I have accumulated many Vibergs in numerous lasts over the years. I personally find that the different Viberg lasts aren’t consistent in size and sometimes I can even take a 1/2 size difference between two different releases of the same last. I’m a solid 9.5D Brannock and I can take either an 8.0 or 8.5 in the 2030, 2020, & 2045 service boot lasts depending on how big or small they were lasted. So far I’ve always worn a size 8.5 in the 1035 and 2050 lasts and an 8.0 in the 310 and 1003 (sneaker) lasts. I had to size down to a 7.0 in their 2010 slipper and I typically take a size 8.0 in their 2030 derby shoe but occasionally it can be a 7.5. I personally won’t buy a Viberg boot that I can’t return for refund or exchange because of the lasting inconsistency. I apprehensively did a preorder for a special shell release in the 2030 last about 5 years ago and went with size 8.5 figuring a little big was better than too small and they fortunately fit perfect when they arrived. Vibergs used to be much more affordable but post-COVID their prices have increased exponentially and I personally believe there are better choices per the cost such as John Lofgren and Trickers on the dressier looking end and Wesco and Whites in the workwear boot realm - who’s lasts are very consistent between each release. Hope this helps. Good luck!

                                  No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.

                                    @m4xime consistently 1 full size from brannock for me, also 9.5D on the dot so 8.5.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                        @m4xime Contrary to most retailers and Viberg's own advice, I only size down .5 size from my Brannock across the Viberg lasts I own (2030, 2040, and 2050) with the sole exception of the 2010 slipper last, which I went down 1.5 sizes from Brannock. While Viberg lasts tend run a bit longer than other boot makers, they also tend to have a more defined taper in the toe. I've found out for myself the hard way that by sizing down more than .5, the flex point of my foot was too far forward and my toes were cramped in the toe box.

                                        Echoing John Galt's point above, finding a retailer that allows returns/exchanges will be your best bet.

                                          .5 across the board for me on 2030, 1035, 110. I have a strong 11.5 heel to toe and heel to ball not an overly high arch or high volume foot, but pretty solid.

                                          I can see how lower volume feet or people that maybe have a shorter heel to toe versus heel to ball might go down a full size or one and a half but it’s not the right way to go for the flex point (as you also pointed out)

                                          I’m also 1.5 down on 2010 slipper
