Just wondering why is there a shoe on the order page? is it just to show the color and the wax texture to be expected on the boot?
That's a different leather; it's an example of the unstructured toe box on the 2045.

It's there to show the 2045 last, before it is worn. The shape of the toe, unconstructed, is rounded, like the unconstructed 110, and not like the constructed examples that we have seen elsewhere. This is the first non individual run of Viberg boots on the 2045 last, so there are no pictures of brand new boots in this last around, that I know of.

Ohhh the unstructured toe boxes are different depending on the last? I'm so newb. So basically I shouldn't be expecting a toe box similar to this? I was hoping to get something like that...without the cap toe of course

That's a heavily worn boot on the 2030 last, so it'll look a bit different.

Alright, MH! How about you, rydenfan? Did you commit? I'm actually glad they're closing the window a week early. But not glad that Fok is having surgery, of course.

Hey all,

I'm looking for a little advice on this... I want to get in on this order, but I'm a little concerned about the sizing and last. I own a pair of Vibergs:

http://vibergboot.wordpress.com/2012/06/27/horween-navy-latigo-brick-dainite-sole/#comments

Mine are a six eyelet boot, but otherwise the same as the photo. I sent in tracings for these, and was told a size 12 would fit me best. My current boots are comfortable, but I've noticed a little "buckling" of the leather around the eyelets when I tie my boots. That is, after I tie them an walk around, the leather around some of the eyelets tends to pop up or form little...hills? Please see the photos below for an example.I don't know if this is normal, I noticed this after wearing my boots a few times. Makes me wonder if I ordered boots that are too small...

I never thought to ask what last these boots were on (my first mto, newbie mistake) and now don't have a frame of reference for comparison. I emailed Viberg at [email protected], to see if they still have my info, and have yet to hear back.

FYI: I wear a 13D in OSB trenches and rough outs, a 13D in Chippewas, and a UK12 in a Tricker's Eaton on 4497 last.

I don't know if I should buy this latest mto in a 12 or 12 1/2?

Any and all advice would be sincerely appreciated.

Can you post a picture of the boots? The attachment doesn't contain them.
