@rocket:

If I wasn't just a couple weeks shy of my Role Club's completing, I would have seriously contemplated those

Those are beautiful, and I like the 2030 last a lot, but I have to admit, I'd rather get these.

while I like them as well, of the two, I would go for the V's, but not in my budget, sold out and and and….

Still waiting for the right foot to heal properly, so I can road-test these English Tan Latigo Derby :: 1035 :: Partially structured toes :: Flat natural GYW :: Dainite

[BrownIcon]

Tnx peeps!

@Finn666 : Sorry for the delay, but YES, @rocket 's right. They were from the  NYC Viberg Sale.  Their site got availability [in different leathers], if interested.

I really like the Viberg derby with the visible eyelets. It balances the aesthetic mix between work and semi-dress a little better than the blind eyelet version in my opinion. I'm still struggling with the way in which the ping-pong insert for the partially structured shoe shows through the leather on their plain toe offerings though…

@Sugar Mountain :
'Had a choice between the brass & blind eyelets, but preferred the former. The blind eyelet version is like a "dress" wannabe & would prolly look much better/more appropriate on dressier leather like Italian Calf.  Also, the back rim support on the eyelets seem like they're likely to fall off sometime down the line.

As for the toe structure lip, it won't be as visible once the derby gets creasing from wear.

Scout boots

Anyone know how I can stretch a pair of boondockers just the slightest bit. The 2030 last is a bitch on one of my pairs.

Bring them to a cobbler. That will fix the issue.

Hello all ,

Have a chance at some aged bark service boots , size 11.5 .
I wear a 12 in Beckmans and a 11.5 in the Iron Rangers - so will the Viberg
service boots be a similar fit in 11.5 ?

Thanks never had or worn vibergs before .

[Bluegrass]

@jock1624 I wear a roomy 13 in Red Wing (they don't make 12.5), 12.5 in White's, 12.5 in Wesco - and a comfortable size 12 in Viberg.  Many folks seem to size down 1.0 or .5 size from their standard U.S. sizing.

[jock1624]

Thanks Bluegrass . Still twitching at dropping 1000$ on boots though .

Cheers

[Bluegrass]

Ha! I know that twitch…

@jock1624 , compared to Red Wing Beckman and IR, Viberg's 2030 last has a much lower toebox, so I'd be cautious about sizing down too much.

For reference, I wear an 8.5US Red Wing Beckman and an 8.5 or 9 in Viberg 2030.
