The dynamic over there seems pretty interesting - older generation doesn't want to change a thing but the younger generation trying to branch out.  Family drama perhaps?

I haven't watched this yet, but here's the blurb. Apologies if it was previously posted.

Across the country in Victoria, BC, a footwear company attempts to get a grip on their evolving product line. Once known strictly for their tough men's footwear, Viberg Boots has expanded to offer more fashionable products, leaving owners scrambling to keep up with demand. Will the owners reshape their business and rise to Arlene's challenge? Or will they be given the boot?

Spoiler Alert
That's how Viberg got the Goodyear welt systems, I believe.

Its a nice read! I hope in 2014 I can afford a pair of Vibergs.

….so is Greg Guy's evil twin brother or just a poorly edited article?

Might pull the trigger on a pair in the fall... tho I have a hard time internally justifying the extra 200 bucks over most other brands with similar stuff... feel like I'd just be paying Canadian taxes/customs.

Why do you hate Canadians tigerpac?

[tigerpac]

You're all so d*mn nice… gotta be up to something!

[mclaincausey]

HEY!! I'm not Canadian damnit!  I do live in Minnesota though…

So are most people in the South!

I'm from Jackson, MS, apparently the 7th most welcoming city in the nation. I must say southerners are much warmer than folks up here. They're nice but a little distant and insular. Dontchaknow.

Hello, get in touch with viberg and let you bring into your right size imho, 2030 in the service is quite narrow so i would get direct input from them.

Two nice pairs KKT wear em well

I wear in RW US10.5, Viberg 110 last UK10 and in 2040 last also a 10, but in 2030 last I wear a UK10.5.
In Alden I wear a US10.5 E
The 2030 last fit's narrow, this is right.

[davito]

Yeah i wear uk 8 in all my three vibergs including a 2030 last engineer. My tts is usually us 8.5 in all my footwear in some us 8 but then again feet and need for comfort are different and if you have the chance to try on or let your feet measure I would always go this way imho.

Aries you might be a uk 9 but i do not know your feet

Btw Mighty Mouse you have some serious nice vibergs that 148 model is outstanding.
