dammit, virgils in size 12 are too small. Stupid right foot! Probably time to look at viberg.

That's a shame. I still think the kudu virgils from 2011 are the best boots I've ever handled, purely because of the comfort, lightness, and durability. I did so much in those things.

I still haven't been able to fit comfortably in any pair of Vibergs I've tried. I don't get it.

I mean, not to be that guy, but other alternatives in large sizes are also welcome.

Does anyone have sizing advice on the Noragis. I’m looking at the current seasons chambray. I wear a size 2 in the Lhamo and the Achse.

A day later, this is very disappointing.

I bought these recently and really like them.

They go up to a size 13. Can be a touch tough lacing them at first, but the company can send you longer laces, apparently, upon request. I find that gives the laces enough slack to undo them almost completely without pulling stuff out of eyelets

Ah, I'm set on the black boot front with a solid collection of 1. It's the virgils that need alternativizing.

Size up 1 or 2 from Lhamo, but honestly no one looks good in the noragi so don't try. There has been years and years of testament to this. They look better when they're not worn.

I think the closest that I've handled are maybe some stuff put out by Nonnative, which is usually done by Officine Creative, so maybe they have a nice model. Viberg has some decent models, but they have always felt heavier than the Virgils to me, but who knows, I can't size those things.

I honestly didn't know that Virgils only went up to 12, guess I never really looked. I also really love the TPU heel stabilizer, I thought it was kinda tacky and whatever at first, but grew to really ilike it.

I know these aren't virgils, but the only other option would be grizzly boots from visvim. The grizz is one of my favorite shoes from visvim and gets a ton of wear. It also fits a half size big, similarly to the 73 boot.

Otherwise I'd check out OAMC, Oficine creative collabs, and some common projects models. Unfortunately selection gets limited at or above sz 12

Can't seem to find the search within thread feature... Anyone have experience with the raw social sculpture 10 denim jeans? How much will the waist stretch out? Should I size up? Thanks!

Anyone heard of this brand "Soulive"? They've been around since 1992 but I cannot see how they aren't just a complete ripoff of vis.

if they were around a decade before Visvim, how are they ripping them off?

I believe they are brand within the Blue Blue Japan umbrella.

So fake, literally terrible. The liner is normally discharge print onto a slubby linen cotton so the printing should be uneven, its not. The real ones have hand stitching bonding the two pieces of cloth together. The fabric pieces don't look vintage at all, etc etc
