      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.

                  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!)

                        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.)

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

                                        ha, I just wanted it to be clear I wasn't trying to devalue Viberg as a brand.

                                            My feet measure US11,5D on a Brannock device, so my standard UK size would normally be 10,5 yet I take a UK10 in Viberg to compensate for their heels being pretty wide, the shoes start out very snug that way, but the leather does stretch over time (I'm a US11 on Barrie and Trubalance last for Alden as added reference)… hope this helps ...
