Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

... So I don't know how odd it is, but I find the 1035 to be bigger than the 110. They're both 10.5 and the 1035 has a bit more room in the toe box and also seems to be ever slightly wider..

Yeah, I think I read a comment by BV that the 1035 was their widest last in the toe...

Left to Right: 2030 Mahogany Shell on Dainite- Size 10, 110 Brown Waxed Flesh on Commando- Size 9.5, 2030 Natty CXL on Dainite- Size 10, 2030 Black Oil Tan Roughout Scout on Vibram Morflex- Size 10











I had a bit of room lengthwise on my 2030s so I sized down 0.5 for the 110 since I did not want to wear an insole to take up the extra volume. I wear all these boots with medium weight socks. I have a somewhat high instep width somewhere in-between a D and E.

I'm assuming you wore them outside? They are pretty good about returns. For the 2030 last, I'd do a half size down from brannock, assuming you don't need a wide toe box.

Mahogany enjoying some rain.....while my frustration with the tiny eyelets and round only laces grew to the point that I planned on sending these to a cobbler to get normal boot eyelets put in....I decided to go through the mounds of laces I had ordered as I remembered getting some really small flat laces. They fit which shocked me and look good.... More suitable for a large boot than the round laces imho.

Two different lace patterns at the moment but as of now I am a much happier camper with these boots.

Definitely agree! Matches the welt really well! I may have to steal that idea later down the line!

I was surprised when I won the charity auction for a pair of Viberg boots from Notre. I just briefly glanced through what Notre has since I hadn't anticipated purchasing boots in the near term. So if anyone has any recommendations of any pair that is particularly interesting to you, I'll gladly take any input. I already have 5 Viberg boots and I know it has a lot to do with what I already have, but I'm just looking for ideas.

Congrats on the win. What do you have now as far as leather and lasts?

Do you have to choose from extant stock or do you get to request a makeup for the future?

I believe I have to choose from their current stock. Not sure what happens if my size is sold out, although they seem to have lots of sizes covered in most of their makeups.

Thanks. Here is what I currently have; they're all Service Boots:

1. brown waxed flesh on Commando (2045)
2. colour 8 CXL PCT (2030)
3. matte black Guidi calf PT (2030)
4. olive Guidi calf PCT (2030)
5. aged bark PCT (2030)

As you can see, I am one of the often lamented 2030 fans. The 2030 last is in fact the best fitting last for me across all brands. And for me, fit is king. However, I would like to try the 1035, the 110, or even the 310 at some point.

Most of their boots are on 2030 except for the brown WF, which you have, and the icy mocha (2045). Without knowing your size if I were you I'd go for the tan horsehide followed by the black moose. Both different leathers. If neither of those then the coffee Chromepak. It's a different shade from what you have and has a unique sole. I have the coffee from Viberg and it's awesome. If none of those then probably the grey calf. Plus, given your winning bid I wouldn't pick anything less than the value of that. I would've gone chukka probably, but obviously I can get the boot cheaper since the bids went up.
