      Gonna let the ship sail and wear these fekkers hard. I don't want to wait for their restock and it isn't worth the shipping, etc.

      Edit: I did email Guy just to see what he thinks. Curiosity got the better of me.

          Personally, I'd write that off as the natural variation found in hand lasted boots.  Yes, it's cosmetically an imperfection and if you are truly bothered by it, I'm sure Viberg would be willing to work with you to make it right.  That said, it won't have any negative impact on the durability of the boots, so you don't have to worry about that.  And since you said you're going to just wear them, I guess it's not really an issue, anyway. 🙂

            Thanks Chris; I'm curious to hear Guy's take, which I assume will be what we are all saying here. In any event, I've already begun to scuff them so tis but water under ye olde bridge.

                  my thoughts, if this is whats gonna happen now with viberg only doing batch runs. i'm not impressed
                  yes it doesn't effect the durability of the boots
                  but there craftsmanship is what you're paying for
                  they're not even close to what i expect from a 900 dollar pair of boots
                  this is even worse then the wack stitching jeff got on his whites
                  they almost look like two different size patterns were used
                  sorry to be the fart in the soup bowl but i'd be pissed at that
                  especially after you had to send your engineers back when the straps failed
                  and just for the record, i'm a big viberg fan for those that didn't already know
                  sorry
                  someone had to say it

                  don't you know there ain't no devil? only god when he's drunk!

                      @natehate I appreciate the frank thoughts. Part of me definitely feels this way; I phrased my question to Viberg very carefully, basically noting upfront that I love their stuff and think it's awesome but wanting to know if this is something they would stand behind as a part of the hand lasting process.

                      Guy has been nothing but awesome all along, so I'll report back once he responds.

                        Alright guys- just following up. I heard back from Guy. Bottom line, it is because of the hand lasting process and is effectively found on one degree or another on most pairs of service boots like these. Guy said specifically "It can be even more obvious on lace to toe models because of the proximity of the hardware to the midsole."

                        Obviously he offered to take them back if I wasn't happy with the product, but that's a moot point since as has been noted here already comfort and durability are unaffected. Guy said they would not consider this to be a flaw, and neither do I.

                        No you can all go back to measuring how many centimeters off your seams are.

                          My oak steets are off a bit. I figured it was that reason right away and went with it. Bugged me for a bit but now I don't care.

                            Well for what it's worth Guy said that the lasting process is literally done "by feel." I don't see this as an to dodge the issue, but rather an honest accounting for what is happening when boots are crafted in this way. G said it first: embrace the small "imperfections."

                                      I need help in Flat Head boots sizing. For those who own one, does it fit tts. If I'm a US9 should I go the same with FH boots? Thanks.

                                      @SSoL, fwiw go with your gut feeling inside says ok then wear em hard, if still the inside argues then opt for a repair/a swap? which Guy offered. I do understand the sentiment of wanting the boots for what the monies they worth. Who don't right?

                                      As for me personally, the vibergs that i have are not all perfect..  there are (minoorrrrrr) flaws here and there but that makes them special to me.

                                        I set up a hashtag in Photo Bucket - pbIronHeart

                                        But every time I put a photo in Photo Bucket and tag it with that tag, it gets posted in Facebook, which I don't want.

                                        Anyone know if I can turn that "feature" off?
