Viberg Engineer Boot - Brown CXL

[Giles]

last call - last call - last call.  I am placing the order with Morgan this afternoon…....

[seanocono]

Man, I'm jealous, G. Glad to hear that you found four takers. This boot deserves to be made.

[tatmantall]

as soon as sizing is confirmed on IHVB-03 my 11" version of these will begin their creation… 

[tmg]

Are you getting those custom made? The group buy was for 9", although 11" was briefly discussed.

[tatmantall]

indeed I am

[Snowy]

If there's still 2 on the list for this, I could be #3

[Snowy]

(and Mr Man Tall any recent pictures/pr0n to share of yours? )

[BLACKFROSTT]

I NEED these! (Back! BEASTMODE BACK!!)
If SNOWY can get in, Im In also!!!!!

[tatmantall]

I pm'd snowy about these… Becarrful with your sizing.... I ended up with a $750 dollar pair if flower planters they are incredibly oversized

[tmg]

I was part of the group buy on these, and they should be appearing soon, bit worrying to hear of your sizing issues tatmantall - did you order your normal shoe size, or were you sized by a tracing?

[tatmantall]

I have a tracing on file that was used for my ihvb-03 those fit great… I was advised this last was a bit roomier so I requested they give me the same compatable fit as the ihvb-03 (basically to use my tracing to give me the same fit across instep and length with instep my primary concern) except I requested to go aheaed and go one size narrower than the equivalent in this last to provide a secure and snug initial instep... The fit was very far off the mark. I am very Leary in ordering anything without being fit in person from here on out and may just use off the rack sizing from here forward for awhile as OTR can generally be returned or exchanged.

I apologize for the typos as I wrote this from my mobile

And I greatly appreciate your head's up on sizing tatmantall. Sucks that you've had to go through this, and I really do wonder what Viberg would have to say on this if asked (I imagine they'll off some $ compensation).

Guess this starts the next group buy (pending results of this run's Engineering Boot sizing)

1 Snowy
2 BEASTMODE!

That's one of the horrors of buying custom Viberg boots for $700-$800 and not being able to try them on.  There are so many fucking lasts to keep track of. Good look TMT.

[tatmantall]

I would agree that when doing these orders you are rolling the dice if you have not sized in person. I knew I was taking a chance but kept a lot a contact with Morgan and was pretty confident with the tweaks that we would be close if not even a bit too snug. I think anyone SHOULD know that there is a bit of gambling involved in this type of "custom" boot making. I'm sure they try their best to do appropriate fitting but its just not the same as having a foot in person.

That being said I feel like it would be interesting if the could adapt a system to input foot measurement into a computer and at least get a simulated idea of how the foot is structured and feel like this could significantly help their business if, indeed, something like this is even a viable option…. But what do I know? I'm made my life a success through art not through shoe crafting and suppose I should leave it to the pros.

Glad I could help you fellas

Browsing this forum I only just saw this! (Yep I don't look at every topic) but dayum!! I would give my left nut for a pair of these in a 9. I own the same 310 last engineer in black CXL and I bloody adore them!!
