he wild ones - iron heart/viberg engineer boot collaboration

Subtle details abound, including the vintage brass utilized for four speed hooks, Viberg’s signature channeled insole Goodyear welt and two pairs of laces: a versatile black pair that represents Viberg and a chunky turqoise set for Fluevog. I am agonizing a bit over figuring out the proper UK size.Made by hand in Canada, the Racer boot swaps the nylon uppers of boxer footwear for lavish black and Colour 8 Chromexcel leather sourced from Chicago’s iconic Horween tannery, retaining the silhouette’s swirling shapes without sacrificing the inherent rugged appeal of a sturdy pair of boots. I went down a half size since the Chippewas ran a bit big. So if you're a 13 in Chippewa you're a 12 in Viberg?Īnyone else here own Chippewas and Vibergs? I'm an 11 in chippewa, though I'm usually an 11.5 in US shoes. I am thinking a Viberg size 13 this point. I do have cheap pair for Chippewa engineers in US 13 that fit reasonably well and I can wear those with thick or thin socks by adjusting the strap if that helps any.ĭoes a John Lofgren size 12 = Viberg size 12? The Lofgren size 12 was definitely too small.

Very nice boot, but I sold them this spring the get 'the one' boot with looks AND fit me. These were very tight at first and did loosen up, but any walk over a 1/2 mile and I'd get a blister along the side of my big toe. I had a size 12 John Lofgren engineer, which was one of only two that he made (Matt at Rivet Head blog needed a 12 and John made me a pair too). Someone has experience to compare the John Lofgren engineer and the Viberg 2005 last sizing?
