- It’s time to finally talk about Viberg. I’m going to break Viberg out by last. This just video is specifically covering the Viberg 2030. I’ll cover the 1035 and 310 in future videos. Sadly, even though I’ve owned 4 or 5 2040 last Bergs, I’ve already sold or traded all of them. As much as I love the look of that last, I think I just need to come to terms that it isn’t the right last for my (right) foot. You can’t win the all I guess. 🤷🏼

I bought a pair of viberg because they were running a limited sale and i fell in love. Their still my favorite boot makers and that 2030 last is the most comfortable last I've ever tried.
@@M1_u Yup! My plan was to just get one, so I could try them out for myself. I liked them so much, that really started a buying run for a couple years. I’ve slowed down and narrowed down the collection now thankfully.
There are boots both better and not as good as Vibergs, but nothing exactly the same in my opinion. Now I just enjoy my other boots on their own rather than in comparison to Viberg.
the old 2030 last/pattern didnt cohesively blend the different parts of the shoe together well, on the new 2030, the lines from the heel to the toe all flow much more smoothly
That vintage 2030 toe curve looks amazing for straight big toe people like me. The modern 2030 looks like a nightmare.
@@EDHBlvd Old Viberg Good as they say
Nice review.
Ok , they do not look like a 800.00 dollar boot , plus the side view looks nice but it does not look goo in front , yes no doubt sausage looking and straight narrow just dont look good. I prefer the 2040 look . Now viberg like Alden been around a long time and they ruled the boot market as the best , but that was yesteryear , to many boot companies came after and usually when that happens these newbies sees what viberg and alden has to offer and they do a dam good job for much less money .if i could buy just one i would and it would be 2040 style , for now i enjoy my grant stones , parkhurst , whites, Truman, and on list my first boot allen edmonds higgins mill which is not worth the price they charge.
@@Angel-AbC9 I love the look of the 2040, but it didn’t work for my feet unfortunately.
@CsawBoots that makes sense , no matter how good a boot looks if your feet don't agree with fit it's a no go.
you have a truncated view of how you analyze the aesthetics of the boot. you're just honing in on one part, the front, comparing it to the old one, and saying yes this old one better. Nah, the new one has much better lines when looking at as a whole, the lines flow much more smoothly. you're just hyper focusing on one part of the toe because you've been programmed to do that by people online.
@milkshakeplease4696 I focus on front only because when I wear it I see the front not sides or back , plus many reviewers mention same and that's how I notice it , so the sausage look can look pass that , lol. Viberg is great and if I buy it would be the 2040 .
@milkshakeplease4696 By the way nice touch on the vocabulary , truncated .
great stuff : )
I love the 2030.. I'd really like a 2020 or 2040..
they are definitely crazy expensive.. which is a bummer
cause it would be nice to have them in something a little more unique
than a cxl version.. might buy a used pair soon to get a more elaborate leather..
getting tough for me to justify it otherwise ,, but i really like the fit.. i imagine the 2020
would be even nicer..
i actually grabbed a Brannock device recently for the hell of it.. and then found out im actually a 9D.. not a 9.5 like i had thought ,, the 8E UK 2030 fits great for me
I think mine were made in an 'in between' period.. they have the newer tag style,, but it says Since 1931, underneath the word VIBERG.. the SPI on my is somewhere in between.. it still has more of the anatomical shape as well like the old ones,, but not quite as curved.. thanks for comparing..
when you said, they stopped making them... what do you mean..? ones specifically for Brooklyn Clothing or unstructured toes.?
I'm looking at ones lately in that same olive Maryam.. i really really like those.. and that green Ridgeway.. so nice.. i wish they had some hooks..
speaking hooks,, the honeycomb on your Tusc ones is amazing looking.. and im usually not crazy about honeycombing.. but those are perfect
Can you please tell me what was different about the 2040 that it couldn't fit you correctly..? Thank You.. this was a nice watch
@@toneohm I haven’t tried the 2020 yet, but I’m definitely curious. I had a number of very sweet 2040s, but I had to sell or trade them all. That last just has too low of an instep for my feet. So, that was sad.
Dang, I have my first Viberg’s on the way. They’re a 2030 in size 8.5. The retailer (butterscotchlb) says it’s a D width. I’m a 9.5D brannock so I went one size down. Looks like I’ll probably have to return these :( thanks for the welted wiki resource. That helped me a lot. If they’re the 2030 in a D width and not their standard E width should it still be half a size down from Brannock?
This may be an expensive mistake too. I just read their return policy is for store credit/exchanges only. And they only have an 8.5 or 9.5 in stock in the black CXL I want.
Potentially since it’s a D width the 9.5 may fit me?
Or there’s a size 9 available in the same boot in color 8.
@@Gabe_Dewey You might as well give it a go at full down. It works for some guys. It really depends on how high or low volume your foot is really.
Do you have any other boots other than viberg ? That way u can compare and prove to yourself viberg are your best.
@@Angel-AbC9 I do. Take a look at my other videos. I may do some comparison videos at some point. 👍
@CsawBoots yea do some compare not necessarily what's better , that would be good
NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
So all of ur vibergs are 2030 ? Why no 2040
@@Angel-AbC9 I have a couple pairs of both 310s and 1035s. Those will be in upcoming videos. I’ve owned a number of 2040s in two sizes, but had to sell them because the 2040 last is too low volume for my foot.
