@bertoni:

Can anyone here tell me what size I should go for in the Viberg x Nigel Cabourn Chukka? It's a 110 last. I've often found I have to size down with chukkas or suffer chronic heel slip. I'm a true uk9. Thanks in advance.

fwiw i would sized down half on 110 last. That lasts is quite roomy in width and that 'bit' spring toe feature will give extra length as

Thanks Friday. Will wait for more opinions before dropping the cash. Never been lucky with chukkas so am a bit nervous about buying without trying!

^the 4H! one of the best

[joona]

Thanks madmonday & mijama! I've been really pleased with them. Buffalo & buffalo roughout is a great leather.

My 1st Viberg, Iron Heart x Viberg pull-up.. 

Untreated, abused and what not but still standing strong like a champ.

Boondockers restocked on Viberg.com - I think this is nat. cxl roughout… Lovely!! 

[irishexpat]

damn those are nice!

I am really struggling not to swoop on that Boondocker. With a wet summer looming though, I don't think another pair of boots with a leather soul is appropriate…

[mijama]

honestly - its my favorite summer boot. Even if they get more shelf time this year with a wet summer, youll have 9+ other years to enjoy them.

[Sugar Mountain]

^This is more or less what I'm telling myself! Close to pulling the trigger.

[Bluegrass]

I agree with Sugar Mt. - I'm pretty sure I'd grab these if they had a different sole.  They are fantastic for sure, but not for me this time.  But damn they're pretty!

[Sugar Mountain]

Finally crumbled and bought the Boondockers. Took the same size as my Alden trubalance last and Trickers 4444 last. Fingers crossed it works out.

[Bluegrass]

I can't break down - I took another peek last week and my size is now gone!  Great score and pics please!!

I finally purchased my first pair of (VIBERG BOOTS):

Specs:
1950 Service Boot
Horween, Chromexcel leather
Icy Mocha
Smooth and Rough-Out Leathers.
Hand rubbed finish
Vibram 705 & Cats Paw
Raw edges
The leather is produced using a secret bark retannage recipe and then genuine hot stuffed with their own blend of natural oils, greases and waxes.
Extremely Limited Numbers.

Size: 10.0 (11.0 US)

I had never owned a pair of Viberg boots before so the information in this section (Viberg Boots) of the Iron Heart forum was extremely helpful in regards to fit/sizing/specs.  (…imo they certainly, at least this pair, live up to the "Hype").

I enjoy the wealth of information (and photos) that (IRON HEART) forum members provide. 
(...I log in a few times per week, but I need to start contributing more myself.)

Now I've just got to wait for the foot of snow on the ground in Minnesota to melt before I can wear them.

Question:
Can anyone advise me on the best way to prevent "indigo transfer" to the "rough-out" leather?
(…Leather preservatives, stain preventers, etc?).

^wear jeans with cuffs rolled up to your shins

seriously though, that's gonna be a tough one…
