      If I have wide feet (8EE in whites, 8EE in redwing, 8.5 E in Alden Indy –- although this felt a little long and a little narrow)... am I going to be able to fit in any vibergs? they look so nice

        Their lasts vary quite a lot, I'd avoid the 2030 but you might be ok with one of the wider ones..

          Sample pair of Cordovan slippers. I'm hoping that these make it to production, my wallet isn't!

              I've only owned 2030 and 1035. The 1035 is definitely wider than the 2030, think there's a page on their site..

                Can anyone educate a complete noob like me as to the pros and cons of stitchdown vs. flat welt construction?  For my next pair of Vibergs I was looking at some service boots with a flat welt but a lot of people seem to favour stitchdown construction instead and I don't really understand why.  Is this purely for aesthetic reasons or is there something more substantial that I'm missing?

                  @BrownIcon  The style is part of their work boot line, with custom leather… 146 Ironworker with mocha oil tan on a (?) 110 last? Dainite sole. I bet someone could contact them on their workboot website to order some, just saying 😉

                    @Qinhan the difference in quality and weatherproofing is minimal.  It's really aesthetic.  Flat welt can be dressed up a little better than a stitch down boot.

                      Thanks.  I figured that was it but wasn't sure.

                              Rad @browniemcghee Thank you.  Really dig the casual look, esp compared to my kudu Vibergs that show more dress uppy.

                              Thanks @Seul Their comfort matches their looks, making me happier than a pig in shyt 🙂

                                Just further to this question, for those that are interested, this is what Brett Viberg had to say on the lack of difference in quality between goodyear and stitchdown methods:
