@JamesMarg:

How does the 310 fit into this wideness up front and back discussion?

So, I've had 2045s, 310s, and now 110s, and here's my sense:  110s are widest throughout, but especially in the heel as people are saying.  But it is also the lowest in the toe area, so in some ways it doesn't feel like your toes have the room you expect from a wide fit.  2045s seemed a bit narrow in the vamp and toes to me, but had a nice, rounded toe, and seemed normal (neither wide nor tight) in the heel.  310s seemed right in the middle, front and back.  The sprung toe gives you lots of room in height, but I would not say they were wide in the toes – again, medium or even slightly narrow I would say.

Awesome.
I think i have really wide toes…. all my boots are tight in the toe area.
I hope my prospective 310's work out!

Have you ordered them yet?  If not, I would advise ordering an E width.  It is the only one of these lasts (I believe) that Viberg offers in either D or E widths…

These are so cool – love the contrasting 8 eyelets...

the chromepack leather is pretty awesome for shitty weather. its literally been raining the entire day and the rain just beads beautifully on my completely untreated boots. the leather is so thick and oily. too bad the chromepack leather isnt being stocked by viberg anymore.

Well, i'm getting them through G, the IHVB 4 Brown Oil Tan Service Boots.
And i have pretty much ordered them!
I wear a 9.5 D US in RW chukkas, and they are occassionally a bit tight in the toe, i went with 9 D UK with the Vibergs!

James,
I'd owned Moc toe & Iron rangers from RW size 9D. US. Using thin socks.
The 310 Vibergs last is wider. Much more. And i went with a 9D. UK. Using thick socks.

After a lot of wear, gave my boondockers some dubbin treatment. Only the vamp and counter for now.

In that case, i may be able to scrape the painters in!
Any chance of getting them out today if i buy them literally right now?
