Viberg
-
Bunch of noob questions here: I'm completely new to Viberg and only rarely wear boots, being more of a sneaker guy. I came across pictures of these recently and thought they looked pretty cool:
Just wondering, are vibergs brutal on the feet? How much would a pair of these set me back and do I have to order them through Viberg's custom boot website? Also sizing… seems that custom sizing a boot and buying it without trying it on first is going to be problematic. I'd be grateful for anyone with useful info. to share. Cheers!

Just wondering, are vibergs brutal on the feet? No, they're really nice, actually, especially for boots.
How much would a pair of these set me back and do I have to order them through Viberg's custom boot website? Probably $700ish, and you may not have to, but it's probably easiest to order directly. You can call and talk to them or email Morgan (inquiries@workboot.com or morgan@worboot.com) to ask specific questions.
Also sizing… seems that custom sizing a boot and buying it without trying it on first is going to be problematic. I'd be grateful for anyone with useful info to share. Cheers! If you know your size in UK sizing, that should work just fine. However, you can also use Viberg's sizing kit (available as a .pdf file) to trace and measure your feet. Viberg will use that info to determine the correct size for you. I would highly recommend this option, as it doesn't add much time to the order process and will save you a ton of frustration and money over getting it wrong. When in doubt, ask the experts.
For what it's worth, I'm consistently a size 11D (US) in athletic shoes and wear a size 10D in both White's and Viberg boots. Other people will have different experiences, which will be confusing. That's why you should do the sizing kit.

Rafa, those are ugly. Don't buy; you're just going to flip them down the road.

2 more rounds between sizes 8 & 9, game one!
@guyferguson:
There wil be at least 5 rounds in total. At this point most of what is left is within the Size 8-9 range. I definitely wouldn't count on finding exactly what you are looking for, but there are some great pairs coming up from our last trade show in Berlin. I'm aiming for round 4 on Monday, but i'll confirm that at some point this weekend.

what did y'all go for?
I hesitated on these, so I'm not sure if I'll get them.
