Viberg

[Chris]

Just wondering, are vibergs brutal on the feet? No, they're really nice, actually, especially for boots.

How much would a pair of these set me back and do I have to order them through Viberg's custom boot website?  Probably $700ish, and you may not have to, but it's probably easiest to order directly.  You can call and talk to them or email Morgan (inquiries@workboot.com or morgan@worboot.com) to ask specific questions.

Also sizing… seems that custom sizing a boot and buying it without trying it on first is going to be problematic.  I'd be grateful for anyone with useful info to share.  Cheers!  If you know your size in UK sizing, that should work just fine.  However, you can also use Viberg's sizing kit (available as a .pdf file) to trace and measure your feet.  Viberg will use that info to determine the correct size for you.  I would highly recommend this option, as it doesn't add much time to the order process and will save you a ton of frustration and money over getting it wrong.  When in doubt, ask the experts.

For what it's worth, I'm consistently a size 11D (US) in athletic shoes and wear a size 10D in both White's and Viberg boots.  Other people will have different experiences, which will be confusing.  That's why you should do the sizing kit.

Thanks Chris.  That's really helpful.  My greatest concern was that Viberg were really rough on the feet.  I'll also definately look into the sizing kit.

Rafa, those are ugly. Don't buy; you're just going to flip them down the road.

Alden x Self Edge x Leather Soul x Iron Heart & Viberg Scout Boot

Pulled em out to take shots since I am selling them. Might end up keeping the Scout Boot though. The more I look at it, the more I like it.

It's just so heavy duty and durable. The boot feels invincible.

2 more rounds between sizes 8 & 9, game one!

@guyferguson:

There wil be at least 5 rounds in total.  At this point most of what is left is within the Size 8-9 range.  I definitely wouldn't count on finding exactly what you are looking for, but there are some great pairs coming up from our last trade show in Berlin.  I'm aiming for round 4 on Monday, but i'll confirm that at some point this weekend.

[seanocono]

I think I could fit into a UK 14 as long as the last is wide.

[seanocono]

Yeah, those are nice, urb.

[Peter]

nothing that i really want in my size this round tbh

[Peter]

well #72 is ridiculously nice, but a leather sole isnt too practical. did shoot a mail for #84 though

[wariosss]

went for #78

but I think a size 9 is too big for me. Anyone has any experience to share on the 2040 last?

[Do7]

Nothing for me this round
