Just ordered a pair in 9.5. Now I have to play the painful waiting game. I suck at that game…but almost always win in the end

Convincing my wife at this very moment in buying these, which is almost impossible to do. I want these badly!

[czarofny]

Arrrrrrrrrgh! They are 1/2 size too big!!!!!!!

Hey! Their Viberg boxes are cooler than the ones we got on the first run

Also, is a "sprung toe box" the same as a "partially structured toe"??

I emailed viberg about it, but they didn't get back to me

[Greenie]

I literally got an email from them five minutes after made this post.  In case anyone didn't know already and are interested.

"There are a couple of options as far as the toe area on our boots.  Unstructured means there is nothing in there at all but the leather itself.  Partially structured refers to an extremely thin layer of material that helps keep the shape up the last intact, but is still quite light and flexible.  A fully structured toe is a heavy material in the toe and is the same as what we use on our non-steel toe work boots.  Sprung toe is something entirely different and refers to a last shape with an upturned toe box"

Oh noes! Am sure now you've had them in your hands you realize how amazing they are and will want another pair in your size. The joy of the hunt.

Man, Viberg has upgraded their packaging considerably in the last year.  My last pair came in a plain brown cardboard box.
