IHVB-04-b-o-t - Iron Heart/Viberg 1950's Service Boot in Brown Oil Tan

Regarding insoles, you can buy aftermarket. Talk to @seawolf.
Regarding washing inside your boots, I would take Wesco's advice:
Never use detergent. Simply wash the inside of your boot with a combination of warm water and baking soda. Do not rinse them. To dry, stuff the boots with newspaper and lay them on their side. Allow them to dry naturally. It is best to leave a bit of moisture in the leather to keep it pliable. To finish, apply appropriate boot dressings.

Would like to get hold of a 9.5 in these if anyone sized incorrectly or wanted to get rid of theirs.

Thank you Giles. I tried one SOLE 3.2mm thick insole and it's too thick. Feet can barely fit. (my boots, they fit perfectly… no room for growth.
Need some ultra thin model...
And contacted Mr. Seawolf as advised.

Has anybody new Evolution Pictures of his pair? I love them, yet the leather is very stubborn and shows almost no scarring / evolution. I love that, just would like to know, wether this changes after a few more months.
-
Splendid, thank you!
-
cheers flo!

Wow, great looking boots T&A.
Mine are pretty much brand new. Awesome to see how they look with a few mile's on the clock. Thanks for sharing!
-
thanks!
received them nearly a year ago,
and wore them pretty much the whole summer.
-
Wow, thanks a ton, Steffen! I knew your pair looked very worn, though it also seems to prove my point, that the leather itself doesn't "age" fast (compared to my RW 8111 for example, that show every scuff and mark). Great Pictures!

The IHVB-04-b-o-t Boots are absolute beauties !!!
Coming late to Iron Heart and even later to the Iron Heart Forum, it's apparent that I've missed the opportunity to acquire a new pair of IHVB-04-b-o-t boots.
In fact, it seems more likely to see @Giles dressed from head to toe in FUBU, walking through the centre of Gosport, than a new pair of IHVB-04-b-o-t boots to surface in a size 9.
Can anyone help a guy acquire a pre-loved pair of IHVB-04-b-o-t in a UK9?

I have found a pair of IHVB-03CT in a UK9.5. Cheers @Giles

I've worn mine since June/July, but mostly in the town / to work, so there's not much evo to be seen.

Even though I managed to acquire a pair of IHVB-03CT's, cheers Giles, your IHVB-04-b-o-t look wicked @max power and leave me still hankering for a pair.
