@Graeme:

There will always be another pair of dark brown Engineers.

I like the Hoppers, but the last doesn't quite work for me. With thin socks on, I find they slip around a lot. With thick socks, they're just slightly cramped around my big toe. The stock advice seems to be to go up half a size on them.

'Sad they were not a match for u.
Initially, I had similar experience w/wearing thin vs thick socks.  I tried slipping in some sort of "training" leather insoles [Tacco], to wear w/ thin socks … just till the leather break in & [stabilizes]. Been working for me so far__ heel slippage down to a minimum.

'Plan on wearing them more often once the NYC heat subsides.

I'll see how I get on with the Hoppers. They do get some wear, and if I give up on them, my younger brother @GuzziRob (who has shorter, wider feet) might inherit them.

The bugger!

Need to help with sizing on the engineer boot. I wear a 12 in John Lofgren's Engineer. Does anyone know if the 12 in the Viberg Engineer will be a similar fit?

[Bluegrass]

I must defer to others who have John Lofgren boots, but you "may" want to size down 1 to 1/2 size in Viberg.  I wear a 12 in Viberg and 12.5 or 13 in other American-made boots (Red Wing, White's, Mr Freedom and Wesco).

Same here… looking to buy these, but I'd like to know how they fit compared to Red Wing, Timberland or even Nike. Any advice? I'm somewhat wide with my feet.

[Graeme]

I tried @trail and arrow's pair of Viberg Hikers on, and they are a wide fit.

I'd suggest giving Viberg a shout and seeing what they advise.

Someone please talk me down from the ledge, I'm really thinking about ordering these natural waxed flesh 2045 service boots…

Damn, those are gorgeous!

Broark, thinking about a pr for myself.

[Graeme]

@Broark you've come to the wrong place. We're all enablers here.

[Bluegrass]

Ha!! I've never had much luck with IH forum members talking me off the ledge!! More like the people in the street yelling "jump!"…...

I spoke with the guys at Notre.  Anyone else interested in trying to get another run of these made:
https://www.notre-shop.com/collections/viberg-boots/products/service-boot-in-natural-waxed-flesh-commando-sole
We would need six people to sign on.  I'm one.  Are five of you guys interested?  They are great boots in a last that looks great and is super comfy for guys like me who can't wear the 2030.  Please message me if you are interested.

[ShootThePier]

I'd love to help, but now I want some too.

[browniemcghee]

If you want some, then sign on to get a pair. That's the idea!  PM me.

It was cool enough here to get out my Vibergs yesterday. Nice to get them on my feet again instead of the Birks but sort of downer because it means summer is coming to an end.
