      I'm pretty sure that Viberg mostly does a stitch down welt and Brian does Goodyear welt. So it would be different either way. Shoot him an email: roleclub@yahoo.com

        @SilverKing I convert all stitch down constructions to a welted construction.  I can do the double stitch on your boots. Here are a pair of pair Viberg boots I resoled a couple of months ago.

                  These are the second pair of boots that I had Brian resole. I also had him fix the width because they were too wide for me. I'll post more about the fit once I get them. But I just want to say that Brian is really great to deal with. He answered all my questions and is a total professional. If you want an amazing resole, shoot him an email. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Great work and great to deal with.

                    I assume he has to take the boot completely apart to add the half-sole?  I really want that sole on my RCs, but hesitate because there is so little wear on my original leather soles.

                    Also they fit well now, but could not be any smaller.  I would have sized up but they did not make a 13 at the time - I'm probably a true 12.5.  I worry that somehow a resole would impact the sizing.  Do you think that should be a concern?

                      You can get a rubber half sole glued on if the leather sole hasn't been worn down much. Brian can make the boot a half size larger when you're ready for a resole, I believe.

                        Screw the glue, I want exactly what is shown above!  And if he could make them a half size bigger that would be awesome…

                          Email Brian, he'll hook you up. I should get mine next week and I'll post about how the fit worked out. Brian's email is roleclub@yahoo.com

                                @superfuzz it was my pleasure. Thank you for giving me the privilege.

                                @Bluegrass yea I can definitely make your Road champs a size bigger and resole them. If you can email me some pictures of your boots, that would be great! RoleClub@yahoo.com

                                @davito thank you!

                                @madmonday I am just waiting for the Role Club soles. Thank you for your patience. It will definitely be worth it!

                                  I just came home and found my Road Champs waiting for me outside my apartment door (yikes!). Anyway, Brian did such great work on these. I've only worn them around the house, but the resizing seems totally perfect so far. I almost wish I had another pair of boots in need of a resole so I could get Brian to hook them up!

                                    I mailed mine off to Brian today for resole and resize up 1/2.  Glad to see you are satisfied!

                                      Yeah those are mine. Now I just have to wait a couple months to really get to wear them.
