@Sugar Mountain :
'Had a choice between the brass & blind eyelets, but preferred the former. The blind eyelet version is like a "dress" wannabe & would prolly look much better/more appropriate on dressier leather like Italian Calf.  Also, the back rim support on the eyelets seem like they're likely to fall off sometime down the line.

As for the toe structure lip, it won't be as visible once the derby gets creasing from wear.

Scout boots

Anyone know how I can stretch a pair of boondockers just the slightest bit. The 2030 last is a bitch on one of my pairs.

Bring them to a cobbler. That will fix the issue.

Hello all ,

Have a chance at some aged bark service boots , size 11.5 .
I wear a 12 in Beckmans and a 11.5 in the Iron Rangers - so will the Viberg
service boots be a similar fit in 11.5 ?

Thanks never had or worn vibergs before .

@jock1624 I wear a roomy 13 in Red Wing (they don't make 12.5), 12.5 in White's, 12.5 in Wesco - and a comfortable size 12 in Viberg.  Many folks seem to size down 1.0 or .5 size from their standard U.S. sizing.

Thanks Bluegrass . Still twitching at dropping 1000$ on boots though .

Cheers

[Bluegrass]

Ha! I know that twitch…

@jock1624 , compared to Red Wing Beckman and IR, Viberg's 2030 last has a much lower toebox, so I'd be cautious about sizing down too much.

For reference, I wear an 8.5US Red Wing Beckman and an 8.5 or 9 in Viberg 2030.

Thanks Engineer . The narrow toe box has me concerned .

Still twitchy too !

I see you overcame "the twitch"  :).  Good for you!  LOOKING FORWARD TO THOSE PICS…

[jock1624]

Twitch funnily enough has subsided .
