hard to resist, but not impossible im afraid. hell, i bought a pair just a month ago!

I could be down with this. Would definitely make a video for sure. My work is more consistent instead of busy for the next 5 months.

Seconded on destroying the dove tail heal so easy. A full Dainite heal would be much better. Way longer lasting. I've only had mine a couple of months and it's getting worked!! No toe cap on big deal.. I also like the fake toe cap stitch job on Rafa's olive pair.

Hey Tod are these V's 2045 last? Unstructured toe? They look it, or 110 by looking at the toe. Mate they are fucking porn to look at!! Pretty much my next pair will be like this me thinks!! Are they a MTO build?

Cheers! They really are beautiful boots. MTO. They are on the 110 last (same as the boondockers on Viberg.com, though in person the toe does not turn up as much as it looks like in the boondocker pic). I think the toe is "partially structured." I actually would have preferred a more rounded toe, as well as silver eyelets. But I think Morgan and I got signals crossed a bit, and I ended up with "gunmetal" eyelets rather than silver, and I am pretty sure, though not positive, that this is not a "fully" structured toe, but rather a partially structured one.
These are made with Viberg's high quality Horsehide leather, which I have decided is my true love in the world of boot leather, but I think that is no longer available for MTO's (though you can find it on some special projects, like the new VMC boots). Black smooth or CXL would be the closest now I guess.

Tod, thanks for the info mate. I guess there is always the black shell cordovan (more expensive) or CXL. Nickel eyelets look good as well (talking for me that is). Bummer you didn't get exactly what you wanted. Sheit!! .. Hahaa, you've got me worried. I have two pairs coming :/. Should be fine though..
Still mate, they look great regardless. Still a great score. But I understand, you pay every penny for them, it's good to know your getting what you ask for.

Yeah, I'd be totally happy if it wasn't for the heel slip I am experiencing. Still trying to decide if I can tolerate it, which I want to, especially since this may be my last chance at a pair of HH's. But it's possible these will go on the auction block. (Size 10, BTW…)

Bummer! I'm 9 in 110 and 2045. Yeah, I get heal slip in my 110 as well. But not as noticeable with thick socks. 2045 has no heal slip for and perfect up front (about the same as 110).
Btw, here's a sneak peak at my two pairs inbound soon. Size 9 Whiskey Scotch Grain Cavalier and Brown Wax Flesh. Can't wait!!

Some killer boots there! I'd love to see that wax flesh in person. Hope they fit perfectly..

I had a two tone pair in 2045 that I sold. They were just a half size too big. Apart from that 2045 is for me
-
That brown waxed flesh is something else, enjoy!

Hey Rafa! Yeah, I think if you compare the heel on your 310s with your other Vibergs it will be a good 1/4" or so higher (more like a White's heel, whereas the 2045s and 2030s are lower). I could never quite roll with the higher heel, but am wondering if I got a pair with one of the leather flats out if it would mess up the balance…
what's that about higher and lower heel tod?
i have the 310 last with the "standard" dainite sole/heel as on all of my other 3 pairs…
