Viberg is more UK size so you are quite correct to size down to 9.5 or 10. The 2030 last is narrower than the 2005 last but since you wear D or E, so it should be fine. IMO, the only issue is the heel slippage due to the higher instep for easy pull on. The strap is not very useful for tightening especially if the leather is thick.Was looking at the 2060 last at S&S, looks like its the 2030 last with more instep room.
Awesome, appreciate the input.Viberg is more UK size so you are quite correct to size down to 9.5 or 10. The 2030 last is narrower than the 2005 last but since you wear D or E, so it should be fine.

Are you looking at the waxed flesh? Those look awesome.Awesome, appreciate the input.
Yeah, I'll be in the SF area in a few weeks though so I might see if I can make it out there to try them on. The waxed flesh looks fantastic, and I've always like the shorter shaft on the Vibergs.Are you looking at the waxed flesh? Those look awesome.
Conversely it is their short shaft that has kept me away. Don’t want to monkey with adjusting my pants everytime i stand up.
Welcome. One more thing though. Viberg does not have the arch support like White's and the leather upper they use is usually softer than Wesco, so it is both comfortable (in that it is not as constrictive as the two Ws) and uncomfortable (that it does not have the rigid support that your feet may move around).Awesome, appreciate the input.
It is only slightly shorter. No need to adjust your pants. Not short like the Chippewa or Red Wing short shaft.Conversely it is their short shaft that has kept me away. Don’t want to monkey with adjusting my pants everytime i stand up.

I'm wearing 7400s right now and the midsole at the heel is even with the back of the heelcup, it seems like yours have the heelcup past the heel midsole. Were they like that before the relast?Wesco RoleClub
Good attention to detail actually, maybe it's the cam angle, the leather heel cup on these flush with the back of the heel, and a real RoleClub also has them flush. I have not seen anyone that has the cup protruding out, although protruding heel is a very common design (doggerd heel??)I'm wearing 7400s right now and the midsole at the heel is even with the back of the heelcup, it seems like yours have the heelcup past the heel midsole.

Huh, funny angle. Different soles might account for the heel slip too, I have a pair of Role Club LTT and the soles are decently stiff. Could be once the sole breaks in the heel slips is mitigated.Good attention to detail actually, maybe it's the cam angle, the leather heel cup on these flush with the back of the heel, and a real RoleClub also has them flush.

8 inches according to Viberg's site.What height are they? I'm currently wearing in a pair of Chippewa short-shafters in Oxblood - 7" I believe (I've not actually measured them myself). I can't say that I've had any problem with them sticking on my jeans. Wrangler Cowboy cut in the original 1947 pattern; it might be different if I were into the fashionable skinny-fit some folks like, but the answer there is obvious - stick 'em down yer boots, like the Rocker crowd.
