Viberg

[Graeme]

I've seen boots that have a tweed outer, but they tend to be lined with leather. I don't know how denim compares for strength, but if Viberg can do a lined Service boot then it would work.

Here are a couple of photos of similar things.

I think that it could work.

The IH x Viberg boots with 21oz denim are backed with leather anyways.

that's what I said already…so shouldn't be a problem imo!

How did I miss this? From Leffot, already sold out (naturally), #8 shell service boots:

Big congrats Finn mate, nice move u did

[Finn666]

thanks a lot mate…i´m brutal happy with them. i can even wear´em with thick socks which is a big plus (but a no go when wearing my 4HSxViberg boots)!
(these are a UK9 btw. my red wings & yuketen are all US9 and fit the same!)...

Yup! If you go a half size down from TTS, it really isn't the end of the world.

this really throws a wrench in my understanding of viberg sizing…. whammy

[Guest]

Yeah, it's really best if you can find a place to sit down and try numerous styles and models. (Like anything else, really.)

[Finn666]

after owning 2 pairs now, i´m definitley gonna stick with a UK9 in all of my future viberg purchases!
that´d be 0.5-1 size up from my normal shoes/boots (chucks, red wing, yuketen…)

Finn with your two awesome Vibergs

I typically wear a 7.5D (or 7E) in Alden's Barrie, Modified and Trubalance lasts, and a 6.5E (UK-sizing) in Crockett and Jones' 325 last (and their Snowdon last, too). I'm trying to decide on a 6.5UK or 7UK for the Viberg 2030 last. Any tips on what I should go with?

[Bigbertha]

I wear a 7D in Alden Barrie and 7D in Vibergs. Can't speak to the 2030 last specifically.
