    Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

    You guys were so right about DR being fanatastic. I exchanged multiple emails with Jason yesterday, going in depth with my current rotation and how they fit in the toe box, waist and heel, as well as other info about my feet, all of which led him to suggest a 6, possibly a 6.5 which was...

    Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

    Thanks guys, this helps a ton. I know sizing is very different for all feet, but it is nice to have a solid base to work from before fine tuning what my ultimate sizing will be. Especially when boots cost this much, you want to be as sure as possible. I'll reach out to Division Road and begin...

    Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

    I've been lusting after some 2030 service boots for some time, and I think it's getting close to time to pull the trigger. My concern, though, is sizing. I am an 8D Brannock and currently am rotating Alden Indys in 7D, Red Wing IR in 7D and Grant Stone Diesel boots in 7D. I have a low volume...

    This would be my suggestion as well. I have a low volume foot and skinny ankles, so the facings on my 403s touch when laced tight. My tongues look just like yours.

    So, originally, I was just going to get a pair of shoe trees. But since they weren't enough to qualify for free shipping, I threw in a pair of black Ottawas to get me over that $50 limit. Can't wait to get them in a few days!

    Grant Stone - Official Affiliate Thread

    Well, I think the bug has officially hit. I've had my Diesel boots for not even 2 weeks, and I am already finding myself very close to pulling the trigger on a pair of Ottawas.

    Yeah, I probably should have saved myself the trouble and just gone with the GS ones. Thanks for the help.

    That’s kinda what I figured, but doesn’t Woodlore make a lot of the branded trees? I’m pretty sure they make the Alden trees I have for my Indys and they look identical to the Grant Stones and the ones I bought, so I was hoping to save a few bucks since they are much cheaper. Oh well, I guess...

    I’m on the other side of town from either of their stores, but if they had a 7, I’d fire up the minivan and pick up a pair.

    Bourbon Suede Diesels looking at home on the boot wall. What shoe trees does everyone use for their boots? I bought some Woodlore trees and the toe portion is too tall for the toe box, to the point I’m afraid of stretching.

    Merry Christmas to me, my bourbon suede Diesel boots showed up last night. Man are they nice! Went with my Trubalance size and they seem to fit really well. A little narrower and shallower than my Indys, but that will do just fine. I can definitely see myself getting a few more pairs down the road.

    After various pairs of Red Wings over the years, as well as trying and returning several other brands that just didn't work, I received my first pair of Aldens this week and I couldn't be happier. Just a 403 Indy, so nothing special, but a big step up from what I have been used to in other...
