The Wild Ones - Viberg/Iron Heart Engineer Boot

[a.khan12390]

Just placed an order for a 9" 2005 in brown Oil Tan. (vibram 705 halfsole and double leather midsole). I think it will be a beautiful build

I'd fancy the brown and 705 half sole. Plenty of snow days ahead.

Roller buckle.

@superfuzz:

Viberg can do a narrow shaft. I would definitely be into that.

G, what is the price on these?

Once Haraki have decided on the spec, no changes can happen other than size.

I do not know price yet

[Giles]

This is happening, H and i just batting the specs back and forth…

Current thoughts….

Enjoy ya addiction!

[Peter]

very nice indeed

[Snowy]

you're really testing my self control now

[tatmantall]

Is the toe on the pictured example reinforced? That would be the only thing that I see is its a bit bulbous… But that's more opinion and preference. It does look a bit more so than what I'm used to seeing from viberg so thought it might have a celastic toe

@Giles:

Current thoughts….

Strap aside right?  That's not the length I thought was specified previously…

I also thought Vibes were triple-stitched uppers.

[Giles]

If I get my way, it will have no toe reinforcement…..

[tatmantall]

Good deal. That's the way me likes

[babyknight]

love the photo - i think i will get in on these

Thanks, G. I just meant that a narrow shaft is a possible spec for the boot. I think that the engineers Viberg makes for the Japanese market have a narrowed shaft. I could be wrong about that tho.

Also, my vote goes for a leather sole. I think it looks much sleeker, especially without toe reinforcement. Just my two cents. However it comes out, looks like a beautiful boot.

SF. I understand that this is a Viberg option.  But it is not a Viberg/IH option.  I have to come up with a build and thereafter, the only thing I can change is the size…

[superfuzz]

Thanks G, I understand. Let us know when you have an idea on price so I can figure out if I have the funds for this.

[Giles]

Best I can estimate at the moment is USD850 - 900

[superfuzz]

Thanks G. One last question, do you have an idea of what size I would need. I'm a 7.5D in Alden Truebalance last, Red Wing, and Mister Freedom Road Champs, all of which fit fine with thick socks. What size do you think I'd be in this Viberg last?
