Viberg

[neph93]

@MET  Looks similar to these https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5285.0 which are on the 160 apparently. My Viberg last game is weak though…

@neph93 thanks. I should avoid lasts like 2030, 1035 which are narrow. Do you know about last 160, runs narrow?

[neph93]

I own a pair of the Smokejumpers (you can see them towards the end of the thread) and they do not run narrow. Mine are a 10D, fit well with wiggle room and I typically take E fittings.

I've been attempting to find a way to source a pair of the boots below, but to no avail - any pointers on how best to secure a pair in the UK/Europe would be much appreciated.

The description reads - Viberg Service Boot 1950 Vibram 2021 Round Toe.

@browniemcghee:

Looks like the 110 last to me. My favorite.

Most probably they are last 110 and I've bought them.

They look lovely. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks. The seller wrote that they run larger than his other Vibergs and they did not get much wear because of that. Hopefully they are Viberg's largest last 110.

@MET, I’m almost positive those are on the 110. The 110 last generally has a lower block heel while the 160 has a curved heel one stack higher.

@IH-GARY, it will be difficult to find that build with Viberg. Viberg has done very limited MTOs which they’ve done ~3 times the past five years or so. As far as color, it’s hard to know for sure looking at the pics, but it appears to be a bright red leather which may have been discontinued in recent years. Red dog or redwood oil tan may be the closest to that color, or maybe red dog is actually that color, not sure. Alternatively, a custom build on White’s C461 last or Wesco’s bump toe will get you close to the Viberg boots.

Thanks @spacecadet
Viberg was very **helpful(!)**about those boots' last by the way. I was told that I would better ask the seller himself.

the gettin old's look very pretty @Seul

I would not have asked J Viberg if the seller had known the last. I have a few Vibergs and I would not buy another new pair again.

This makes me wanna buy more Vibergs

I have a pair that I had custom made in 2012 and I absolutely love them.  Jason Viberg was great at helping me get exactly what I wanted and properly sized.  That said, things have changed a lot in the last six years, and I doubt I'll ever buy another pair, either.

They look really good. Great buy.

How was the sizing, did you have to go up or down?

I know my feet as a UK size 9 so I sized down a half size for Viberg and they fit great

Thank you @den1mhead.
