                About the only thing you can do is get them (expensively) re-lasted…..

                Can only imagine what that will cost… plus postage from the uk ... headed for the selling section I think

                Contacted Viberg and the relast costs 219USD plus shipping both ways, it includes a resole and they can take up to half a size off. Thought this might be useful for anyone who has had similar sizing issues..

                      My Hopper engineer boots are in the post. 😘

                      I picked them up today, after delays involving the Australian customs service. I managed to dodge any import duties, which is a relief.

                      They're made of a brown chamois leather, which I think is from Horween, and have an unstructured toe. Being unlined, I think that they'll slouch with age, and look awesomely patinated eventually.

                      The boots were intended as a homage to Dennis Hopper's character in Easy Rider, and were done as a part of a Styleforum group buy. There's talk of doing another run, this time with a partially structured toe, but I think they're better being a big squishy.

                      My only dislike is that they went with a Cat's Paw heel. These are renowned for not wearing well, and I'll have to replace it sooner than if they'd used a Vibram alternative.

                        nice pick, really love the color… and can second that Cat's Paw heel part, I see it on my Wild Ones, looks cool, but wears down way too fast...

                          Thanks @rocket.

                          I don't get why people spec the Cat's Paw unless they're not getting worn that heavily. Still, a heel is pretty easy to replace when the time comes.

                            I specced them once.  Never again….

                                  Similar experience with nearly all my Cat's Paws  ::) .. nice design (whatever - you stand / walk on it) but very sensitive.
                                  Meanwhile, I prefer full Vibram.

                                    Here are my other pair of Vibergs. I'm only posting these because someone on Styleforum had only worn his pair twice, and they looked far too shiny.

                                    They have the full ripple sole on, it's not too visible in the angle I took the picture from. It's comfortable when walking, but is wearing down pretty fast in the heel. I'll have to get them replaced before too long - the Roccia or Christy in brown camouflage are both tempting.

                                      Decided to keep these, had a few early sizing issues but they fit pretty well now I've worn them a few times..
