You know what, this is now my best fitting Viberg last. If I could get an unstructured toe one, it would be perfect.

How would you compare it to the 2020/2030/1035 lasts? I’ve been curious about trying one of the unstructured 2040 chukkas from DR, but have been unsure about the fit.

I don't have 1035, but it's roomier in the toe than 2030 or 2020 and a bit more fitted at the waist/instep. Also has a bit of arch support too.

2040 would be perfect for me if the instep weren't so tight. The toebox, waist and heel are spot on for me but I get a fair amount of soreness across the instep. I may need to try it .5 up at some point

Thanks that’s very helpful. I do think the 2040 last would work pretty well for my feet (I have skinny ankles/heels with a lower instep), so I may have to pull the trigger on those chukkas.

2040 to me seems to have similar proportions on foot as 2020, just with a bit more volume. I have a similarly good fit in both, but I like to wear heavier socks with 2040. The fit on my chukkas is less secure than my boondockers (both 2040), probably due to the lacing.

I do wear my normal boot socks in 2040 and need to go down to thin socks in 2020 (if same size, I have 2020 in two different sizes.) So I can concur with ajd here. Munson is anatomical last isn't it?

I'm still waiting for that 2020E you promised me Viberg....

Yeah, the way I like to think about lasts like 2020, Vass P2, and Alden Modified is that someone started with a Munson last, narrowed it all over, and then put a point on the toe to make it not so boot-y.

Didn’t realize the leather was brown, thought the tongue and collar were black.

Just got my 3Sixteen purchase yesterday as well. Took two weeks!

Enjoy those! I still love mine. They had some good winter wear in the snow this past year, as well as a good amount of rain. They accompanied me on my last international trip (Tokyo), with many miles underfoot.

Thanks! They're so comfy right out of the box. Already enjoying them.

Yeah the sizing is always what concerns me. I guess not as big of an issue with the mules.
But going down a whole size from my 2030 is a bit concerning
