      No unfortunately not, I was going trough the process of payment when I got the message they where out of stock. I was going for a pair of 310 last in CF Stead Eco Grain Shoulder Ivy

      I wouldn't be surprised if a few vibergs start popping up on resale sites over the next few days with the no returns. Fingers crossed mine work out

          Natural chromexcel waxed flesh on the 2045 last arrived today. Tried on the burlap foot patrol boots at IHUK when I was there a couple days ago, and I prefer those, but it's becoming clear that lasts that taper to the toe do not work for my feet. So was hoping that these wide and high toe Vibergs might work. They feel pretty good out of the box, with enough room to wiggle toes around. There does though seem to be some room just below the laces, so that the leather seems to be creasing/bulging around the ball of my foot. Wonder if people have experience with this kind of room causing any issues down the line? Am wearing thin socks, so that could help, but also these are cxl so are likely to stretch a lot. Thoughts appreciated.

            I have the SOP AG side zip Vibergs and I'm pretty sure it's on a 2030.

            I wear a 13 in most sneakers and followed my usual rule of thumb for Red Wing / Lofgrens etc got a 12 — they fit but are snug, no thick socks for me. But I will say that my feet are on the bigger end of 13 — I frequently run into the problem of some 13s being too short, and I have to buy a 14 if I buy something like running shoes that need a real proper fit.

            Can’t say for sure what yours are, but the side zips are commonly on the 2050 last.  A lot of people go half size up from 2030 on the 2050 last.

            For reference, I’m a 9 Brannock.  Usually a US 9.5 in most sneakers.  I wear an 8 in the 2030 and an 8.5 in the 2050.

              Any ideas on how to size these 2030 service boots? I'm US size 10 on Red wing and a US 10.5 on Truman's. I'm in need for a spare boots and this time around I'm considering getting the Viberg.

              The 2030 last is pretty generous, more E than D (much to my liking), and the advice to go one full size down from Brannock has served me well.  Viberg sizes "British", so go once size down.  If you are a 10 on the Brannock I would order Viberg 9.  Best to use the Brannock method imo.

                A new pick up from the good people at Rivet and Hide.  A pair of Viberg Derby shoes.  First pair of Viberg shoes as opposed to boots but they are built on the 2030 last which I know well so sizing was easy.  Camel Oiled calf leather. They work really well especially with non turned up jeans or chino style trousers.

                  If you go back into my posts in this thread you can see that these shoes used to be agonizing to wear. But I have been wearing them in the fall and winter since 2018 and they are now the most comfortable shoes I own. The only thing I have that's more comfortable are my Rainbow flip flops. They are even more comfortable than my New Balance or Birkenstocks. I almost can't believe it.

                    Man @Filthy I've been having a similar experience with my SOP AG Side Zips — they weren't agonizing, but they definitely always felt a little too small, so I didn't give them a ton of wear. For whatever reason I just decided to power through recently and they've really ended up getting super comfortable. Kinda wild, wasn't expecting it at all!

                    I'll take some pics tomorrow in better light. I love the texture of those, really sick!

                      (Marrkt is a second hand and surplus stock retailer in the UK. I've bought both used and new items from them in the past. These boots are apparently all former display samples - hence all the same size - so wear should be try-on only, if any.)

                      Take the dive...

                        Does anyone have experience with Viberg's 110 last? I've seen a pair of chukkas built on it, and I want to confirm how it fits before I commit.

                        My understanding is that people tend to take their usual Viberg size, or even half a size down from the 2030, but that it's more voluminous. I've got a pair of boots on the 2030 which are fine in terms of fit, but a bit tight in the toes, so I'm guessing that the 110 should work in my usual size.

                        Of course, being a 13 means that I'm a special order, so I can't try them on beforehand.

                          Wish I had seen this back in May. If you get info on another sample sale please share!

                          Anyone know if there’s still a way to convince someone at Viberg to accept an MTO order?  😶

                            Having some renovation work done on the house.  Not a single thing I own is not covered in a layer of dust.  Spent the afternoon cleaning off the Viberg collection.

                              you sound like youre in the same boat as me, my first pair of vibergs i ordered 13's, and they are a bit to big. but i can live.
                              my second pair are 12.5's and they are bang on.
                              of course those were both ordered back when you could still order custom boots

                                dropped off both my pairs of viberg at a cobbler yesterday, they're supposed to be good. but if i was to tell you i wasn't nervous I'd be lying.

                                  just had the dye removed from the mid sole on these
                                  i think it greatly improved the look

                                      @natehate Your cobbler looks to have done a really good with your boots. Always a nervous wait while your quality hand made boots are shipped off for the equivalent of open heart surgery. Glad it worked out well for you.

                                          Had the good fortune of being able to make it to the sample sale here in Victoria today! Lots of offerings, not much service boot wise and in my sizing (10.5-11) there was a bit more limited selection. No crazy lines on the first day and no drama either. I managed to pick up a cool pair of Engineer Boots and a couple Chelsea’s. Really wanted some Service Boots but nothing in my size. The Engineer Boot has a couple dings, nothing noteworthy otherwise and I’m not planning on babying them either. Both the Chelsea’s are as new.

                                          Can someone identify the leather in the black Chelsea’s and the Engineer boots? The young staff weren’t certain and I’ve struggled to find answers online, especially for the Chelsea’s. I think they are Black Calf? If so, they are a lot more wrinkled and loose looking leather than the photos online! Any help is greatly appreciated!

                                            Engineers look like horse, almost like shell from the smooth inside, and the black look more like a deer or something softer than calf although hard to say. Great scores.
