      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:

                              So there should be plenty of interest.

                                      Absolutely. Each to his own. Good idea to mention it here despite the reactions, mine included.
