Viberg
-
Really happy with these… I sized up +1 vs. my usual Viberg size due to confusion about sizing on the Mr Porter site - they listed these boots as "US sizing" and "fits true to size" - but I'm glad I did - they slip on/off easily and they are very comfortable, with no heel slip. These boots are just what you'd expect for the price - beautifully constructed...
No doubt these will get a lot of wear - but they are so damn "pretty" I'm hesitant to beat them up!
Oh yeah! Very nice @Bluegrass

It's incredible all that Viberg does now. Just a few years ago it was all sh!t kickers, now they make danty pretty boy chelsas & oxfords.
great pick-up Big Foot, I mean Sasquatch, I mean @Bluegrass

They have really turned things around I guess. A few years ago they were featured on a CBC show here in Canada called "The Big Decision" they were looking for cash to keep the business going at that point. Whatever they did it sure worked. The show no longer exists but thankfully Viberg is alive and strong
-
@Bluegrass are they actually the normal (UK)Viberg size? I'd noticed the US size on the Mr Porter site as well, so was hesitant to order since I know my size in Vibergs.

Thx everyone for the comments/compliments!
@Broark I actually think the GYW construction works well with this boot.
@Giles tooooo funny on the "well-loved and broken-in" Chelsea boots! I will remember that pic when my boots inevitably get the first big scuff.
@tmg I am still a bit confused on the sizing, but "Viberg says" the size listed on the Mr Porter site (and stamped in the boot) is their "usual/normal" Viberg sizing. Maybe it's the nature of this particular boot last, but sizing up worked for me - I'm afraid if I hadn't sized up I might have had trouble getting them on/off easily. But I know I have a high instep. Length/width-wise these seem very similar to my Viberg engineers even though they are +1 sized.

here´s my pair @Bluegrass
not much wear as you can see. the pictures are from 10min. ago. the true color is pretty hard to capture imo:

I live for indigo … but, [RAW]
are indefinitely off limits to my Hoppers. Got strong aversion to indigo stains on anything__ I'd like to keep the dye strictly in the jeans, if I can help it.However, we'll see how things progress__ quite the newb on the whole engineers steez
… Oh! Thank god I held on to my straights__ slim tapered won't do on these.

New pickup. First time with the 2030. I'm going to be wearing thin socks for a while. My Wild Ones and old service boots are size 11 as well.

Thanks @den213. I actually didn't even realize they were horse until they came today. It was definitely a nice surprise.
-
great pic(k)s there @Bluegrass @summ3rhays ….

Mr Porter are now stocking natural Chromexcel roughout Hikers, and I like them an awful lot. I'm just not sure how the Thinsulate lining will cope with the Australian summer.
Also, via Styleforum, Maple Co have a Service Boot with a denim tongue, and a side zip.
