Has anyone successfully stretched their vibergs? The boots I want only come in full sizes (2030 last), and I'm a 10.5 on a brannock. Should I get a 9 and stretch them to a 9.5 or just stick with a 10 that will probably be loose on me? (I never tried on a viberg but I heard they need a full size down from your normal foot size)

I would recommend you go with a 10 and get a small insole. That will be infinitely easier to deal with than having to stretch them out.

Im also a 10.5 and my service boots on the 2030 in 10 fit perfect.

I go a half size down in Viberg. I'd go with the 10 and wear wool socks if they are a little loose.

I have not tried but I'm curious to see what their first announcement is. I'm still waiting to hear what all that was about with the navy shells that showed up and disappeared. I suspect a glitch since they weren't announced via the email newsletter, and Guy assured me a couple of months ago that all future releases will be pre-announced through the letter. I saw nothing about navy shells. I imagine if anyone actually managed to pay for a pair that it was a mistake.

If I'm wrong, it is some strange shite indeed.

Stay with 10. Sizing down on 2030 can get you in trouble.

I was at the Viberg store in Victoria 2 weeks ago and was shown the navy shell in size 10 by their sales staff (another customer had asked to try them on). At the time they were for sale but not my size and the other customer passed due to the price tag (even though the size 10 fit him perfectly).

Cool! I wonder if they were made from left over leather? I don't remember seeing or hearing anything about another navy run.

Hope to get in on the next round of GMTO here. Such a great process you guys have set up. Wish I had learned about it sooner. If anyone has a pair of the Viberg x Styleforum brown waxed flesh service boots in size 10.5, I will pay full original price. PM me. Thanks.

Good stuff. Several of us are interested in the 310 last.

Anyone think we should do a couple lace hooks at the top coupled with holes below? Inb4 "save it for the GMTO thread."

Thanks ryden. That's a great color. I'm on the leffot preorder and definitely looking forward to my first pair of vibergs.
