Viberg

Those look really nice @Engineer. I keep on thinking of excuses not to get a pair… :o
@Graeme I think I've owned 9 pairs of Vibergs over the last couple of years. I currently own two pairs, both of which are 2040 derby boots. I had fit/comfort issues with all of the other boots. In my opinion, the derby boots are Viberg's dark-horse, so to speak. The 2040 last works really well with my feet, since I have narrow heels and a wide forefoot.
Some people think the 2040 last is shapeless and "blobby," but they're still better looking than a majority of casual boots. I think you'd be very satisfied with them, as long as the fit is good. I wear a Viberg 9, and I'm a 9.5 US on the brannock.

I'm wanting to try the 2040 last for the same reasons, namely a wide forefoot, narrow heel.
I suspect that the 1035 might work for me too, since the 2030 fits around the heel, but crushes my toes. The 1035 looks like it's got a wider toe-box, but I haven't found a pair to try on.
The curse of size 13 feet is that they're not a standard size, so buying Vibergs can be a bit of a luck of the draw.
I'm holding off on ordering a pair of the Derby boots whilst I wait and see what comes up in the Styleforum GMTO that's underway.

I like the Hoppers, but the sizing isn't 100%.
With thin socks, they slop around on my feet. With thick socks they fit fine, but there's a little pressure on the inside of the tip of my big toes. This doesn't cause any problems, and I've had days when I've walked ten miles in them.
They're currently in Australia, and I'm in the UK for the next few weeks, so they're not getting much wear right now.

I agree - chelsea boots have always seemed "wintery" to me and putting them in a rough out always makes more sense.
-
Anyone know anything about 'insidecatering.co.uk'.. must be a scam, they appear to be selling the Mr Porter selection of Vibergs for less than £100 a pair!

There's something not quite right about that site. I would avoid.

"All ordered items are the right items you pick here. We promise you of the right order package. So if returning right items for a refund: all returned items are subject to a 15% restocking fee. Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable."
And another:
"The real shipping cost are far more expensive than the amount we charge. i.e.(EXP: The EMS Rates:$20 is not the real shipping expence). So if returning items, you need undertake the whole delivery cost. You can see our shipping documents for the real and exact shipping cost."
One more:
"And you still want to cancel, you need to pay our lose. So please do not hesitate to contact our customer service if you have any idea about the order, they will deal with your questions patiently, and do their best to satisfy your demand. Thanks!"
