      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.

        Think it, be it.

          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'm not sure if "dainty" is the right word here. "Pointy", sure, but Vibergs are not dainty footwear.

                The 2030 also doesn't work for my foot shape, but I think a lot of the builds on that last are nice looking boots. Especially the black pair that d666 has.

                  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.

                              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

                              Think it, be it.

                                        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.

                                          Depends whether it is oiled or waxed….
