Got a couple of pairs, can’t fault the quality but definitely try and hold out for a decent discount if you can. Both my pairs are roughout suede and they’re fine in all weather. If possible, go somewhere you can try them on to get sizing right. They can take a lot of wear to break in so not always obvious if the size isn’t spot on.

Cheers for this. Where have you found does good discounts in the past? Not a huge amount if stockists unfortunately.

Do fancy a pair of Viberg's. I don't wear my Iron Rangers as much as a used to but I feel that a boot could be a good idea, given the constant rain and the fact I predominantly wear suede. Worth the money?

I have some Redwing Chukkas in a 9 (these https://www.endclothing.com/gb/red-wing-3140-heritage-work-chukka-yrp9957or.html)
I'm a 9 in Grenson and most other brands however I can barely get my foot in (wide feet) and they feel so Ridgid is it just a case of breaking them in or should I sell em and size up?

if you can't get your foot in they prob don't fit tbh. Rigidity is another thing, mine were painful for the first 10 or so wears, but afterwards the chukkas are the comfiest boot I own. Worn them 2x a week for the past 4-5 years and only now looking to get a resole. leather still looks amazing
Thanks, If I size up I cant see that making much difference too the width?
Options would wear em and try and break them - downer is I can't return em and lose probably 50% of their value to sell them on
Buy a 2nd hand pair of 9s and back these see how they feel
Back em and try some moc toe assuming they are wider

I’m looking to buy some dr.sole cushion sportsman soles for my virgils and not sure on sizing. My boots are a us9 and the overall length is about 305mm
On the site the options are:
8 which is 300mm in length or 10 which is 320mm, both of which are too wide anyway going off their measurements.
Are they supposed to be a direct fit or would they get trimmed down anyway? Literally have no idea what the process is.
