Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

I’m a fat boi (not actually, I’m skinny but I have flat feet). Low instep, low volume.

I'll wait to hear from @RogerKaputnik but I think that's a factor that no one mentions when we talk about sizing here.

Just worked with Kevin from DR to nail down my Viberg size in the 1035. Ended up with 1.5 sizes down from my Brannock (just barely a 9, D/E) - a 7.5. Probably fine for the 2030 too, but I'm using an 8 currently.

Interesting. Did you try on a pair of 1035 in size 7.5 or was this decide based on how you fit in other lasts?

2030 and 1035 have relatively low insteps. 2050, the laceless last, has a high instep. Just to add to people’s sizing info; I’m 11C brannock, a smidge over on my left foot, flat footed, low instep and I wear 10.5 in 2030/1035 and 11 in 2050/2020.

Hmm interesting, do you all have higher volume/ high insteps or low volume/ low insteps?

Yes I probably have higher volume feet. I definitely have a high arch and in the 7.5 size, the waist of the boot really scoops under and supports my arch. I have a 2030 in an 8 and I while it works well, I wish it was half a size down. I was skeptical on the 7.5 at first, but Kevin at DR talked me through it, and he was right. Wore them 8 hours the first day with about 3 miles of walking, with no problem at all.

I sent Kevin some photos of my foot in my bourbon horsebutt 2030, size 8, indicating where the widest parts of my foot were fitting. He thought they definitely looked half a size large, asked me a few questions about the fit, and suggested the 7.5 in the 1035 Noir Vitellos.

Oh I thought you were at the store getting fitted. Are you sure you're a 9 brannock? The Horsebutt is definitely too big.

I found these mocha vintage service boots online at a store named Niftydo. The link describing the boot doesn’t work. Can anyone identify which last they are made on?

I might be wrong, but it looks like 1035 with a semi structured toe.

it’s harder to tell when you don’t have a top down image.

Yep, heel-toe I just reach a hair over the 9 line. The Horsebutt actually wear very nice, and have the longer toe box than the 1035. But I do wish they were 7.5s.

Same pair you wore to the recent Viberg SS? If so, looked even better in person!
