thanks a ton guys…really super happy to own these and totally in love with´em
iirc, i´m one of the first "none directly to viberg related people" who owns a pair of their chelsea boots ^^

these are a sample pair which popped up on Instagram one day and which i couldn´t take my eyes off...the leather is arabica calf suede full grain on a 2030 (boot) last stitched on a dainite sole.

here´s a pic when new/unworn and straight out of the box:

so all in all, thanks a fecking ton to my favorite boot brand out there for making this happen @Viberg

@EastWest:

That's a nice looking pair of Chelsea's @Finn666 how did they happen?

let´s just say that i am fucking lucky jamie @EastWest

edit: btw. i guess you now know why i haven´t copped your tricker´s a couple of weeks back!?

Hey guys, I have a (dreaded) sizing question.
Over at Styleforum they're rerunning the Hopper boot and I've decided that I really like the build so I'm going to grab a pair. I've never tried on Vibergs, and my current go to boot is a pair of Alden Indy boots which are an 11.5. I also have a pair of Alden black shell cordovan boots which are also and 11.5 but I'm unsure which last they are. Possibly the Grant last, and they are a little snug.
I'm guessing that the safe bet would be a size 11 in the 2005 last?

How do you buy a pair of viberg boots if you live in the U.S.

My Wesco foot patrol are 11.5. I wear Viberg 11 in both of my pairs. It may depend on the last though. I've heard some run smaller or more narrow.

@ghettomedic Viberg Engineers run short, compared to other Vibergs.  I wear a 9.5D in Wesco Jobmasters and Wesco Packers, 9E in Wesco Foot Patrols.  I had a pair of Viberg Engineers in 8.5EE, and they were too short - I should've bought a 9.

Thanks for the replies

@ghettomedic I size down .5 from Wesco to Viberg (from 12.5 to 12) but you may get varying opinions…

[davito]

Thanks man @Appfaff yes I wear em hard, resole soon

@Finn666:

them somehow look like wesco´s and not like your typical viberg type of last?! @EJS …can you upload a couple more shots, just showing the boot and all please?

Just remembered I never did this, here you go..

The Aged Bark Rough Out is really nice indeed!

[Finkster]

agreed - beautiful … Rough Outs 4 the win!

Nicest boots I've owned, seriously considering some Wesco FPs though which sound much more comfortable. I guess these fit but think the 2030 last isn't ideal for me…

@EJS  I've owned two pairs of 2030 boots, and the Foot Patrols are much more comfortable.  Granted, everyone's feet are different, so this is just my observation.  The 2030 is fairly flat and tight across the top of the foot, whereas the FP has a little more room.  Also, I think the FPs are (marginally) better made.

[EJS]

Thats really good to know, thanks. How does the 2030 compare to the FP sizing wise?
