  Review

  The CXL was stiff when new, I conditioned it twice in the first couple months. Since it’s black I wasn’t concerned with darkening it. The leather squeaked some when new but is better now that it’s broken in. The quarters are not too thick and feel nice and light around the ankle. The vamp is heavier weight leather and takes a bit to break in. The right side footbed also squeaks some, but has got quieter the more I wear them. The fit is better than the 2030 but not perfect. There’s more room for your big toe, but the small toe still gets pinched a little. This may reduce significantly once the boots are more broken in. Overall I prefer this over the 2030 last. The toe is just a bit more round, but the look is still sleek.

  Good fit, lots of room in the toebox from the 1035 last. Roughout chamois and commando sole makes these great bad weather boots.

  The 1035 last is my favorite low volume service boot last that Viberg makes. It looks sleek, but still has enough width in the toe area to be comfortable all day long. While the 2030 looks nice, it feels a bit tight for me to wear all day. The boot that I have in this particular make up was stiff out of the box (leather) but still comfortable. Like all Vibergs I've owned, there was no break in.

  Viberg 1035 toscanello horserump Ridgeway sole

  Review

  **Intro:** I bought these Vibergs exactly 4 months ago. A late christmas gift. Some of you might have followed along with my previous “adventures” into Viberg lasts and sizing. Short answer I had to sell off 2 pairs because of horrible sizing miscues. Oh and issues with the orders. To be fair, if i wasn’t such a fanboy of the brand I would’ve discarded them as an option long time ago. But I’m a fan of the brand. Why? Not sure, I just really love the ‘tough’ boot outlook. The heritage and history as the true service boot off all service boots. But mostly I love the interesting and diverse make-ups. I love how Viberg likes to experiment with different unique leathers. Come Christmas I wanted to treat myself with a pair of Vibergs in Maryam’s Toscanello Horsebutt. Actually acquiring a pair at a reasonable price is however quite the journey as a EU citizen. Taxes, shipping, VAT, … I would really love if there was a large Viberg stockist on mainland EU. This pair however I got from Rivet&Hide in the UK. Talking with them about sizing, shipping, returning it was quite obvious just about everyone hates Brexit. So it wasn’t going to be a walk in the park. R&H would upfront the taxes and VAT charges and include them in the price, but didn’t offer reasonable return and exchange options because of the hassle, work and costs involved. Nailing the size first try would be imperative. **Sizing/ Fit:** I've not real clue what my brannock is. It's just not a thing in europe. But Ive sent tracings and measurements to Whites and Bakers and they said 10,5 B-C. Take this with a grain of salt. Every foot is different. If you want detailed sizing information, there are others much more qualified than me. My sizes in lasts that fit great are: Leo: 9E MP: 9D Parkhurst 602: 9D I decided on a size 8,5E for the Vibergs in 1035 last. I normally would’ve gone for 9E but the 1035 being a wide forefoot last, I correctly thought 9E would be too big and 8,5 would be spot on. First few wears I was unsure if the fit was good. But the Vibergs are just really tough to break in. After a couple of 10-15 wears I started feeling increasingly more comfortable in the boots. Right now after 4 months of wearing I must say they are starting to feel like they’re a perfect fit/ mold of my foot. **The details:** Viberg 1035 last Maryam Toscanello Horsebutt TPR Ridgeway sole Natural midsole Stitchdown construction 7 eyelids **The good and the bad:** Let’s start with the bad. Or the things I don’t like as much, to be more precise.Ive said it here before, I’ll say it again. I don’t like the un-gusseted tongue. Half-gusseted is perfection. This is just an annoyance. Secondly Im not too fond of the clicking on my left boot. The inside quarter feels very thin and soft in comparison to the other leather parts cut into the boot. It’s structurally and esthetically fine from a distance. But touching the boot… Ah it annoys me a little bit. I do feel that the pricing of Viberg is slightly too high. I’m always looking for a match in quality vs price and I feel like Viberg is just a tad bit overpriced. But the emotion wins on rational on this one.Now the good. I love the construction, the attention to detail, the finishing. This boot feels indestructible. It really does.But what is typical of indestructible boots, are that they are overbuilt and extremely heavy. I find that these Vibergs still give off a sleek look and aren’t really that heavy. Kudos on the design. Oh wait, did you expect me not to mention the leather upper? I was saving the best for last. In short. I LOVE LOVE this horsebutt. It’s basically everything I look for in a leather.It’s tough, gorgeous, has so much depth, gets better with age, etc. I’ve recently given them their first condition and polish (thats a first for me)I treated them with Saphir Renovateur (without mink-oil) and given them a slight Pate de Luxe layer to let the TPR shine some more. I do feel the wax did add a layer of protection over the fragile TPR finish. I’m liking the results. **Conclusion:** I finally hit the Viberg sizing jackpot. These boots confirmed why I love the brand.Are they perfect? No, the perfect boot just doesn’t exist I’m afraid. But they’re near enough perfect that I’m not sad spending this amount of money on a boot.I’m just a really happy consumer that will gladly come back to the brand that I really like.I might have actually just purchased my second pair… A 2030 last in 9E, just to see what thats like. **Disclaimer:** Of all my reviews, I feel like this is my most subjective one. Throughout writing the review and wearing the boots I constantly felt like I couldn’t be neutral. I’m usually a really rational guy, that is very objective. But when it comes to this brand and pair of boots in particular I just don’t feel like I can be my impartial self I’m too much emotional invested. So take this review with a grain of salt or maybe just appreciate the beauty of the boots through the photos.

  I ordered these in my ideal 2030 size (I'm a Brannock 7.5E), and they fit great. I have two 1035 makeups including this one, the other being Rivet & Hide Reverse Tobacco Chamois that fits similarly.

  A much better fit than the 2030 for my foot that has a higher instep and bridge area. The boot is the most overbuilt of my stitched footwear and the upper leather is very substantial. As such they have a stiffer feel than other boots so far. The boot is verging on tight on the ball of my feet and in the vamp area. Further the heel is not the most comfortable of my boots. Perhaps with wear the heel will break in / form more to my foot. I have a couple dozen wears on them for at least a few hours at a time and they are starting to feel more and more comfortable. The boot could be a touch wider to fit my ball and maybe a .25 size shorter
