Ok so I don't think shell would "break in" like that. So maybe better to go with a bit more room and fill up extra space with socks/inserts.It was a tad snug (nothing uncomfortable) the first couple weeks but since that point have been very very comfortable. They are ice mocha cxl. I wear medium and light weight smartwool socks with them.
Looks like they restocked the 2030 brown CXL service boots on the Viberg site.
^^ Ugh! That is the most tempting thing I've seen all week!
@tifosi
I was thinking of getting the brown to replace my brown CXL Roy boots.
Well they didn't last long. I guess someone else made up my mind for me.
I was going to get them in place of a pair of Alden CXL Tankers that I have on pre-order, but oh well. I may have another shot in the future.

7D or E Barrie
6.5 2030. It was snug in the beginning but now, it's more comfy. I wear medium thick sock.The shoe "expanded" after some wears. I could also make do with a 7 I guess, may just have to add a thin foam insole.
Thus, depends on fit preference, down half or stay with Barrie should be a safe choice.
I have these incoming w/ the Gamble's Hill Indy Boots (cxl barrie) - thinking these are different enought to warrant keeping both? (I'm mostly a jeans + t-shirt software engineer guy).

I have been interested in Viberg ever since I saw a video on vimeo. Their boots appear to be really well made unlike another popular shoe manufacturer located in New England.

This typical you'll be determined by the person buying the boot or boots
Determined by amount of use and sometimes more importantly your desire to own two things which basically could serve the same functipn
YMMV
I thought this writeup gave a nice perspective:

"I asked a user here about the value of Viberg boots a few weeks ago. Specifically if the value of Viberg CXL vs Alden Shell. Before handling this pair of service boots I have received and returned 4 pairs of Alden Shell. Indys, Grant Cap Toes, J Crew LWBs, and J Crew Cap Toes. From the little experience I have gained I have no problems saying that I am happy paying more for a pair of Vibergs than Alden Shell."
