Viberg

I do exactly what you intend to do with 4H Vibergs.
I currently use half insole (orthopedic ones) and still plenty of room for medium/thick socks.
Don't recommend wearing thin socks with these boots.Recently, I had a cobbler apply a thin layer of leather on the inside of the left boot to help with the fit.
It alleviated some of the heel "pinching" that I felt and the boots are much more comfortable now and good for walking again. The cobbler was actually amazed on the quality of the boots and he's familiar with Vibergs.I'll post pics sometime this weekend. Overall, I think you'll be fine with sizing half size down from your RW size.
Watch out though for the 10 weeks waiting period… BUT...it's truly worth every penny.

Nice priced Vibergs for little feets.

Nigel Cabourn x Viberg 2012 Service Boot $875
I like these minus the cab toe. Too rich for my blood though.
-
they are pre-distressed?
major turn-off

-
I'm sure you could order these custom and get a similar boot for less and non-distressed. I don't like the distressed look either.
-
The sad part is you can make them look that way within a month (or less) of normal wear

^Shame about those being predistressed, I like that vintage tan roughout …
Btw. Two-tone oxford on sale at Freeman

Well I was referring more to the look…
But with all the big spenders around here I'm sure the price is insignificant. I'd rather have 2 pairs of Aldens for the same price, personally. Not much more than the $725 BiG Motomaro jeans....

The Vibergs are a lot better looking, in my opinion. Add in the well documented issues with both quality and customer service at Alden, and that $400 price difference starts to look a bit less prohibitive. Not saying that I'll buy them, mind you, but there is more to consider than just the purchase price.;)

i want to go to the Viberg factory store. I heard there are plenty of great deals to be had
