Black laces look great with the natural shell, and awesome-looking boots! I just got my aquamarine shell scout boots in today after having them ordered at the end of November. Super impressed!

My first pair of Vibergs arrived today. They are the 2030 Lactae Heava Bone Chamois Roughout, an exclusive to Division Road in Seattle. The customer service there is outstanding. Jason worked with me online and by phone to make sure the size and the last would be a perfect fit for me, and they are. I wear 7.5d in Alden Indy, Grant Stone Diesel and Ottowa, Thursday Captain, and Red Wing Moc Toes, and a 7 in RW Iron Ranger. When Jason wanted to put me in a 6.5 I sort of freaked out. But Division Road is probably the biggest distributor of Vibergs in the USA, so who was I to doubt him? The presentation when they arrived was amazing and very personal. Plus, I ordered them mid-afternoon on Tuesday, they shipped the same day, and they arrived early afternoon on Thursday. I see more Vibergs in my future from Division Road after I take out a second mortgage on the house. The lesson here for those who are on the fence about Vibergs is don’t be afraid to size down. If you’re going to cough up some big bucks for these, make sure you enjoy the fit.

It happened the same with me. I am usualy 8D in all my Goodyear Welt boots, but in Viberg 2030 last I did go a half size down. At first, I wasn't sure but after a couple of days I think it was a good call. The 2030 last comes in E width, this means that it is wider overall. If I compare my Alden Indy in 8D side by SIDE with my Viberg Service boots in 7.5 E, they look pretty much the same.

Excellent comparison! 2020 look to be an (less extreme) alternative to Alden's Modified Last. I wear 1/2 leather Powerstep Insoles in my 2030's due to high arches and think the 2020 might support the arch better? Will definitely be checking these out.

Another Great video as always, and it’s funny you said your 2030 seemed larger .. I thought the 2030 was a little generous myself which caused me to call Viberg .. the rep said it’s common to seem larger but he did not recommend sizing down at anytime .. in Aldens I’m a 10.5 on the true balance last and they recommend the same size for the 2030 last .. but I love my Vibergs , I also love my White’s and Aldens .. my favorite three boot brands. 👍🏼

thanks brother!! yes it's good to hear sizing advice from the maker! I've always thought the 2030 and the trubalance were similar in a lot of respects, and I size the same in both! the heel on the vibergs might be a bit more generous but overall I'd say they're pretty comparable

Do you where the same size in Viberg and Truman or do you go down a half size for your Viberg’s? My feet are weird and I actually decided to go a 1/2 size up for plain toe Viberg vs the cap toe. But I’m kind of regretting doing that now that they’re broken in.

when comparing Truman and Viberg it depends on the last. I buy most all my boots in a size 8.5, but the truman boots on their more dressy 55 last I buy in a size 9. Viberg sizing is tough. I bought my 2030's in a size 8.5 but they are still big, I could have gone down to 8 in those. the 2020 last is very narrow so despite being long, they're so slender I don't think I could have sized down. the truman 79 last IMO runs a half size large so I buy those in 8.5, but they are shorter in length compared to the vibergs in 8.5 but have about equal room in the vamp

I would say they both scratch up as easily as one another, but how they react to those scratches differs I would say. the cxl can get scratched but restored very easily! whereas the shell might be a bit more work to get scratches out but still just as resilient overall

Those natural shell are killer. Can you describe 'exactly' and specifically how you arrived at your accurate sizing with Viberg? i.e. Viberg sizing is UK - so... I wear 9D U.S. in 95% The equivalent and recommended is thus to go down a full size to be at UK size 8 which is the equivalent. What size are you in U.S. and then what size are you in Viberg ? thanks.

I wear a size 9 in dress shoes and 8.5 in most boots. I bought my vibergs in size 8.5 and I definitely could have gone down to a size 8 for the 2030 last but not the 2020 last because it's much more narrow . overall I'm happy with the fit, they're generous but not too big

I'm sorry but why spend that kind of money on boots? The service models are what, $700? I guarantee you they won't outwear a pair of Whites or Nicks. And to spend something like $1000 of Cordovan boots, I guess I don't understand. I wouldn't wear them with a suit and I'm not wearing them cutting firewood or working in the field. This boot fad has really driven some interesting markets out there.

You don't sound like an enthusiast nor a collector. Ofc it's a lot of money for boots. Bad comparison, viberg is more fashion oriented and hence a completely different product than whites or nicks which are more pure work boot aesthetic.

djhungzilla I love boots and I've been wearing them longer than likely you've been alive. I know I've worn them longer than aero has been alive. And I am an enthusiast in that I have many pairs of dress cowboy boots and dress Allen Edmonds that I wear with suits. I also have many pairs of work and casual cowboy and lace up boots. I am probably more aware of Whites and Nicks lines than you are. Lastly, as far as being an enthusiast, let me know if you've ever worn a pair of sea turtle boots. I sold mine 40 years ago after the government made sea turtles endangered and I didn't feel right wearing them. They would bring 5 to 10 grand today.
