Does anyone know how a Viberg 2030 11 1/2 would compare in a Wesco Boss 7400? Thanks

Its holding up very well. Wears down slower than Commando, though I find Commando more comfortable.
I agree with this. Ridgeway seems to get a lot of love, but my own experience has been that it’s been my least comfortable sole (by far). It’s the closest I’ve come to pulling a smartbrother, resoling both pairs on ridgeway after 30 or so wears.

Of the three sole types I've tried on Vibergs, my preference is Dainite > Ridgeway >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Raw Cord.

So far, leather has been my favorite, though I prefer White’s leather soles to Viberg’s. Most comfortable sole ever.

I really regret not grabbing a pair of leather sole brown dress semi dress boots on ebay a while back.

That was the boot that started it all for me- grabbed a pair from imogene + willie in Nashville in 2014ish, and have yet to find a more comfortable boot.
