Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

New horsebutt engineers are up on .com, and was wondering if I should size up for the Chelsea last? I have two pairs in the traditional last in 10.5, that fit great in width, with a little room in length. Not concerned about length, but mainly width. I am thinking the Chelsea last is sleeker so I should probably go with 11. . .right?

This is a tough question to answer. Just like the slipper, sizing can be all over the place when dealing with laceless footwear. The regular engineer last (2005) runs a bit short on length compared to other lasts. I’m assuming the chelsea last engineers are the same length as the 2030 last, but I’m not sure. By traditional last, do you mean the 2005 or something else? Since this design is a first, I’d recommend reaching out to Viberg for sizing advice.

Yeah, have two pairs in the 2005 last in 10.5. Usually wear 2030 and most others in size 11 for width concerns. So I am assuming the Chelsea last will probably require an 11 as well.

Ok. Yeah. 11 is probably the way to go.

Has anyone had trouble with the instep on Viberg Chelsea boots? They seem to gap quite a bit and not fit snuck, at least from pictures.

You mean above the middle of the foot, like they look like they have a high instep? Not my pair

Anyone have the plum calf service boot from a while ago in 8.5 DS? Got any worn in pictures of them?

Hi, I'm looking for the Color 4 Shell in 10.5 if anyone is interested in selling. $1350? Thanks.

^ Some of us who have color 4 pre-orders have been getting offers much higher than that. I know of some in the $1800+ range, though as far as I know, none have accepted those offers. That said, maybe you'll have luck in a month or so when they arrive and people discover if they mis-sized.

They haven’t even come yet and people are already out for blood lol

I got an offer for 2k right off the bat from someone fiending for a stitchdown/shell boot.

I also got around 1800 and 2k+ offers...pretty crazy.

By the way, any new progress pics or word? I saw those factory pics posted, but no idea where those came from as I can't seem to find them online on the usual channels like Viberg insta. I am not sure how much Viberg usually shows on the production progress of their batches but I enjoy following every bit of information for sure...

Odd though I can't seem to find those same pics posted here on his page...I'm not really familiar with Instagram though.

I would have been interested in he bison if I knew I could get a pair that didn't have the texture of a walnut. That reminds me, I notice on boots with a toecap that the cap tends to be smoother than the rest of the boot. You can see it on the kudu and tumbled horsehide as an example. I wonder why it ends up like that?

The honey tanned horse looks cool. Wonder if it'll be stitchdown.
