Viberg

great score D666. thanks for the image bluegrass, my only problem(s) are the danty sole and i have grown out of love with that last.
i am more into these:
they are just a bit overpriced (even for me) & as such they will have to sit on the shelf. i like the 2040 last the best for Viberg at the moment . . .
-
I also really like the look of the 2040 last from Viberg. My Boondockers on the 2045 are super comfortable and have the more rugged boot style that I wanted, but the 2040 is just the right amount sleeker without being too narrow and almond-shaped as the 2030 would be for my feet. I wish they would produce a couple of standard smooth-out leather service boots on the 2040 but hey, it's good for my wallet and my marriage that they don't, I guess!
-
A lot of it has to do with toe structuring. Either semi or fully structured toes look best IMO on boondockers and service boots.
-
Yes, agreed although the Viberg boondocker has an unstructured toe. I'm not a fan of the unstructured look on the toe profile of the 2030 because it really seems to crumple to a flat, pointy shape. This looks particularly bad when combined with a semi-brogued toecap in my opinion, given the nod towards a dress style boot. However, I'm sure many love that look.
-
I'm surprised that the 2030 works for so many people too…I couldn't believe how uncomfortable my feet were in it. Also agree that the toe profile looks way to dainty for a workboot.
-
I am one of those people who love that look lol
-
Before all you guys think I am a fucking asshole and am spending thousands of dollars on Viberg's. Let me just say I have purchased every pair used and have been given a huge discount by a forum member that keeps his boots in mint condition.
-
That doesnt help Jeff. Still think ur an asshole buddy
-
Yep, me too. Nothing to do with Viberg either.
-
A $$ hole 4 liking & buying nice things? Now u being an a**hole, haha haha
Sheesh, I don't call other functioning addicts a**holes.
U know my troubles, haha haha
More pictures of boots!!!!!!
Oh wait how you all feel about the viberg derby shoe?
-
Love the Derbys, especially the matte black ones
-
super happy with mine @madmonday …def. won't be my last pair of derby's that's for sure!
-
The 2045 IMO can get away with no toe structure; I just detest the ones that look like socks. I want a rounded toe on service boots and boondockers and derbies and oxfords. $0.02

The break in of my Viberg short shifts is going ok, feeling more comfortable every day. One question, what is best to treat Viberg smooth leather with? I was just going to use Huber's boot grease before the onset of winter.
