Now that is more my style…
-
If anyone is down for either the super black or the original IHV-01 indigo/ black scout please PM me. I'm not to picky Either one would make me very happy need to get 4 of us together on one of them though…..
Rafa that last pair you posted is pretty jazzy as well friend.
-
Chris, Rafa I'm down for those, are you guys? Just need one more if so, anyone?
-
Sorry, I'm on the sidelines for a few months. I can't justify another pair, not yet, anyway.;)
-
shit…...shit.............if anyone want to go in on these......cant believe im typing this...
Those look so great. Really like that build. If I had the funds I'd be all over them with you…
Best of luck finding a few others

Another one I really like, no idea yet what leather that is though:
-
Get the Scouts running
Get the Smoke Jumpers delivered
Spec an engineer (thinking of brown with green stitching plus 705 sole), then take orders
Spec a service (probably same as my Merlot ones), then take ordersI would be in for pair of service boots like your Merlots. What time frame were you thinking for taking orders, G?

just a little question!
someone just sent me a pic of the outsole measurement of his viberg boot size 8.5
http://i50.tinypic.com/6qurh2.jpg
after the pic and his measuring skills, the outsole measures 12" exactly…now when measuring my boot (the exact same way, the exact same size) i come to a length of 12.8" which is almost an inch longer, even though it´s the same size!?
the inside measurements of the two boots (his ~28cm, mine ~28.5cm) are also different!anyone know why it is that way? just asking since it´s the exact same size in both boots (8.5)
-
Finn mate imho depending on style and how well worn the shoe already is, note that each fresh pair may differ in size too. The sole will break in and shape to the walking style of your foot after heavy wearing and makes every pair different.
I think i got almost one size sole "shrink" out of my engineer.

My 2cents worth buddy. Imo because they are handmade a slight diff is unevitable. They may have marked then with the size, like a 9UK/8UK, it may be half or whatever inch longer/shorter. Just like denim?
Like my scout marked as 9uk and measures almost 12.5 and yet my pull on viberg measures 12 exactly after few months wearing.
Am i making sense at all?
anyway hopefully it helps buddy. -
I'm a tiny tad drunk atm. so I'm not sure if this all makes sense to me
well the pair the guy measured are totally new and the sole on my 4HSxViberg pair isn't that used that it would make a difference of almost one inch.
the sole type is the exact same incl. the cats paw heel and all and since the (marked) boot size is the exact same, I really can't see the point why they measure different in length and all ???just doesn't make any sense at all!…

Finn, it has a lot to do with the last, the sole choice, the cut of the midsole, being hand lasted, etc.
The design of the 4 horseman boots you have I believe are meant to be longer and more pointed than say the scouts.
What boots are you comparing?

Viberg Boots are so lovely. 1950 Service, Boondockers, Scouts… Gonna visit Berlin sometime in (late)Summer and check out B&S and 14oz, maybe I´ll find some nice Vibergs
