Viberg

@Shoreman:

I wouldn't pay Viberg money for something that doesn't fit perfectly.

yeah i think you´re right there Chris…the money wouldn´t go to viberg directy, there´s an auction running, but still i don´t think i´d be happy with´em!

Yeah, I didn't mean pay them directly, I was referring more to the amount their boots typically go for.

@Finn666:

you guys wear the same size in those brands?

i´m a US9 in rw and yuk. …should i size up when choosing a viberg chukka or same size?

thanks in advance.

I wear a US 9/UK 8 in RW and all of my Vibergs are in 9!!!

sometimes i´m a bit slow, you need to know mate

ha, I just wanted it to be clear I wasn't trying to devalue Viberg as a brand.

it´s all good

My feet measure US11,5D on a Brannock device, so my standard UK size would normally be 10,5 yet I take a UK10 in Viberg to compensate for their heels being pretty wide, the shoes start out very snug that way, but the leather does stretch over time (I'm a US11 on Barrie and Trubalance last for Alden as added reference)… hope this helps ...

Volls sell Viberg, Yuketen and RW, they sould be able to give you a sizing advice. Don´t be complicated.

FWIW, I am US 10.5, and my Vibergs are 9.5 and fit perfect.

thanks a lot guys…going to pass on them though, since they are too big then.

anyways, just stumbled over their new fall/winter 2012 collection...just wow

first pair is a winner imo…

Finn666

^true that…2nd and 3rd are also badass imo!

rocket

think would only go for the 1st ones, mixture of quality and some extravaganza, but still don't see me spending $700 or whatever bucks…

Since we had loads of snow last night I'm going to pop out my Short Shifts for the first time this winter

Edit: decided to take them for a resole. Chose a brown Vibram commando sole which probably is a better choice for winter duty than the wedge sole since it still was too slippery. I hope it turns out nice..

@Finn666:

Normally, I'm strictly a brown boots kinda guy, but these are really nice looking.

Didn't have time to get these back from the cobbler before we were out of daylight again (all five hours or so of it I guess) so I'll have to continue my habit of posting crappy pics.

I do have to say that these look a lot better with this sole in comparison to the wedge sole even though I had to go for black instead of the honey colored I wanted since Vibram doess not manufacture them in a bigger size than a US12 which was too small. And I don't think traction will be an issue anymore :).

I'm happy with the end result even though there are some minor cosmetic flaws, they're boots made for heavy wear anyway so it doesn't bother me that much. Over all I think the boots look much more proportioned than before.

now they look like real engineers, good. Just remember not to walk on that floor after you have used them outside. That sole collets, and I mean collects stones in the grooves.

what you all think of the new vibergs out of Freemans:

i have to say their two makeups are my favorite in a while despite my slight aversion to that Vibram 4014 Christy sole. sh!t i mean if it works, it works & the slimmer toe box give these a few more options & i think will look better with my slimmer jeans & such.
