IHVB-05 - The Wild Ones - Iron Heart/Viberg Engineer Boot Collaboration

Looks an awful lot like The Wild Ones…..

1" shorter, $60 more, and the hardware isn't brass... am I missing any other major differences?

Horsehide.
Its even shiniki, wow. i have only touched viberg horses in horween horsebutt/horsehide in person or seen the new Italian horse online so far. Seems some japanese horse got available again
But imho still diff than the collabo wild ones, which is very nice

Bolted out of the stable and all that.
The VB-05 would still be hard to pass up IMO.

I was trying to do some research, but kept running into dead ends. Does anyone know how the 2005 last fits? Does it run TTS, or a half size smaller, like the 2030?
I don't, but I know you will chat to Morgan. Let us know the answer…..
I pulled the trigger on these after confirming with Morgan that the 2005 last runs TTS. I only have my specific measurements, but my size 15 US foot will fit into a 14 EE just fine. The footbed is 32.5 cm long, and 10.5 cm wide. I know the specific measurements probably don't help anyone, but my true size is really a 15.5 (which nobody makes), which is why we went with a EE width– to accommodate an extra half size up. Don't know if this helps anyone, but I figured I would forward it along, anyway; just in case.
Stoked for my first pair of Vibergs. Thank you, G.

Those are chunky… buckle envy
I'll understand if the answer is "no" but I'd love to buy a set of brass ones.

great, thanks!

You've made my day!

I take it that the price point of the ones that will be taken in for stock that will be available in March/April, ie not pre-orders, will be around the same as the price mentioned in the first post of this thread, 875.00 USD or roughly 636 EUR?

The pre-ordered ones are due in March, but that has probably been delayed (yet) again. Viberg lost their compressor for a week and they are super backed up, plus I am actually having to have the buckles specially made for me in Japan and that is taking longer than I could have imagined. I'm trying to determine exact impact at the moment. Once I know the likely impact, I will drop a mail to all those who pre-ordered. I'd guess the ones for stock will be 12-14 weeks behind the pre-orders…..

OK, thanks.
