@rocket:

I know this sucks, but they are moving the factory atm afaik, might be the reason…

Thanks for the heads up. I actually like these better but am not willing to wait or pay more to wait for that matter.

[rocket]

can fully understand this…

May I introduce to you ….my beloved Vibergs!!!

[Finn666]

since i still wasn´t able to try on a pair of vibergs i have a question for those who own viberg and redwing or yuketen…(boots and/or chukka´s)

you guys wear the same size in those brands?

i´m a US9 in rw and yuk. ...should i size up when choosing a viberg chukka or same size?

thanks in advance.

You might want to size down a half size from your RW chukka size, which runs pretty close to TTS.

not owning a pair of rw chukkas, sry for confusion, but i´m looking at a pair of viberg chukkas and i want to compare them to the boot size (rw or yuk.)…

same size or 0.5up in the viberg chukkas, compared to my boots!

I've never heard of anyone having to size up in Viberg boots, regardless of the style.

Volls?

[FOXY]

my RW mock toe/oxford are US7.5 - my Viberg army/service boots are 7.0 (comfortly)

yep that pair…

@FOXY:

my RW mock toe/oxford are US7.5 - my Viberg army/service boots are 7.0 (comfortly)

so if i would go UK8.5 in Viberg they actually would be 1 size too big!

I can not speak for Viberg or RW chukkas, that's the risk you have to take unless you get to try on a pair.

in theory the conversion from US to UK should be -1

however, this is the theory (there is no law) and it does not consider fit/last/brand, not to mention the question if RW sizes are absolute or true…
a Viberg 6.5 in Service/Army boots feels too tight to me - I can live quite comfortly with a Viberg 7.

(better 1/4 size too big than 1/4 size too small!)

^thanks K.

It shouldn't matter - usually, Viberg only quotes in one size, their size.

(I believe it is similar, based on UK size since Viberg is a Canadian company.)

And since Daddy Viberg learnt how to make shoes in Northampton, UK….

[Finn666]

pretty fecked…eyeing a pair of viberg chukkas in 8.5 - and quoting foxy - these should be a half size too big in the end...something an insole could get rid of?

I wouldn't pay Viberg money for something that doesn't fit perfectly.

yeah i think you´re right there Chris…the money wouldn´t go to viberg directy, there´s an auction running, but still i don´t think i´d be happy with´em!

Yeah, I didn't mean pay them directly, I was referring more to the amount their boots typically go for.
