Viberg

[FOXY]

@ChuckDenim:

Volls?

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.

@Finn666:

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.

I wear a US 9/UK 8 in RW and all of my Vibergs are in 9!!!

sometimes i´m a bit slow, you need to know mate 

[Guest]

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

[Finn666]

it´s all good

[FurattoHeddo]

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 ...

[ChuckDenim]

Volls sell Viberg, Yuketen and RW, they sould be able to give you a sizing advice. Don´t be complicated.

[zhivago]

FWIW, I am US 10.5, and my Vibergs are 9.5 and fit perfect.

[Finn666]

thanks a lot guys…going to pass on them though, since they are too big then.

anyways, just stumbled over their new fall/winter 2012 collection...just wow 

[rocket]

first pair is a winner imo…

[Finn666]

^true that…2nd and 3rd are also badass imo!

[rocket]

think would only go for the 1st ones, mixture of quality and some extravaganza, but still don't see me spending $700 or whatever bucks…
