Viberg
-
My Vibergs are still for sale.
They are UK 8,5, ice mocha cxl /black tan, work toe last. I wore them barely during the last year, maybe 30 times.
The original price at B&S was 699€, I´m asking for 550€ + shipping.

James, you should buy CD's. Those look sick and 8,5 would probably work for you. Offer him 500 euros .;)
CD, why would you want to get rid if those. They look damn good
-
They are a tad too short for my feet. I need another last 2030 in 8,5 works for me.
I´m a size 42,5 and wear 7,5 in Red Wings. -
That sucks…. If they were nines I'd take them off your hands, those dope.... good luck with the sale

Hey guys- I recently got my first pair of Vibergs (IH Smokejumpers). After some debating and advice seeking I sized down from my usual 11 in Chippewa to a 10.5. It has turned out that these fit JUST right, and that the toe box is causing me a bit of agony. I'm alternating days trying to break them in right now. I've also never worn boots with a celastic toes box so it could be that I'm adjusting to that as well.
I'm wondering if anyone here can chime in about how they break in their boots? I've read a lot about people who go for a slightly tight fit and then break them into the perfect fit after a bit of time and discomfort. Does anyone here do this? Any advice, stories, or poetry would be much appreciated. I have high hopes that in a few weeks these will feel like the perfect fit (if they're still hurting though I'll have to sell if anyone is interested).
Cheers!

For me it's mostly te width of the toe box too. The length is pretty spot on. It just hurts a bit because the celastic is hard.

will do. Might post blister pics soon! -
I'd suggest BodyGlide. I use it running long distance to prevent blisters. Easy and won't eff up your boots. Goes on like deodorant. I use it when I get hot spots breaking in boots too. Amazon, running stores, outdoor stores.

I feel very lucky, mine have felt great all along. Stiff at first, but that doesn't bother me. Never even a hint of a blister. I think I'd return or sell boots that hurt me.
-
I assume the celastic toe box makes a big difference. If it were just leather I think it'd be a lot easier. I normally would not want boots that hurt me but it was too late by the time I realized it. However, I think my other boots could fit a bit more snugly but I never bothered with breaking in a pair, or getting one as quality as Viberg.
I love the idea of a custom feeling fit if I can make it through a bit of break in time. I guess I could still end up being the loser in the end though…
