Seems the 2045 and 110 are similar but if we want to stick with what is pictured above and with the original boondocker style then 110 would be the choice. The toe box shape is similar enough (110 seems more symmetrical) that it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. Having owned the boondocker I can say the 110 last is ideal shape for this casual makeup but as long as it has the unsructured toe I'm fine either way. Does anyone have any pics outside of the viberg site between the 110 and 2045?

The 2045 last or the 110 last, or does it matter to you?  I've been hearing great things about the 2045 last, which apparently has a great deal of comfort but has more structure, especially through the midfoot, than the 110 last.

I prefer the 2045.

seems 2045 = "Munson" last.

Yes mate, they are the black Shinki horsehide.

The river is Sydney Harbour down at Circular Quay.

I am jealous, on both counts!

Ok, these are my Brown Wax Flesh 2045 last, and my Boondockers 110 last. Both are size 9 (us10).

Anyone have a picture of a 2045-lasted boot with an unstructured toe? All of the pictures I've seen have a pretty severely upturned toe.

I definitely like the look of the 2045 more. What's everyone's thoughts on Commando vs. Cat Paws vs. Danite sole?

Hey,

So I am not only new to the forum but also cursed with feet in between a size 12.5 and 13UK. I currently own 1000 Miles and J Crew Chippewa Service boots in size 13US and both fit well. I want to take a step up; would Viberg work for me?

The 2045 last works for me looks wise, the question is, would I fit in it?

I have read most of this thread and the one over on Iron heart but it seems as if my feet are bigger than everyone else's who wants or owns Vibergs so there's not much info regarding the fit at my sort of size. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

If I can get a commitment from 4 people for this makeup (I think that maybe the 2045 last might have more structure, so you can debate that), I'd be happy to ask Guy if we could do this boot. Stuff like this is essentially what we built the Styleforummarket to do.  Of course, you guys should note that this is what the boots look like after they've been worn, not what they would look like on day 1.

You guys also interested in a derby shoe?  I don't know the exact release dates for that, but if you will propose some makeups (I would like a grey/brown leather, which I feel would really be popular, and also play to the strengths of that model), I'd be happy to entertain ideas for that as well.

Cheers,

Fok.

The Derby is the one I'm holding out on or a rough out boot or actually both

We'll do a thread on a derby once I talk to Guy.

Both my Wax flesh and boondockers are an unstructured toe box. For ref, my black shinki horsehide are partially structured. Generally speaking , partially give you a little more breathing space on your toes (purely from experience) and are a little more crush resistant. Not sure if the turned up front has anything to do with the toe box structure. But someone else or the gurus them selves ie, Brett, Guy, or Morgan would prob clear that up.

Is there any difference between the Boondocker on Viberg's site or on Leffot? It says "Manufactured in limited quantities and available exclusively at viberg.com." But that isn't the case? My apologies if this is an ignorant question.
