Visvim
-
Guys, I really need your help.. See I'm thinking of getting a pair of either a virgil kudu folk, or the kangaroo folk..
My problem is, i don't really know the sizing on those, and it would totally suck when the shoes get here, and they don't fit me..
So I'm a size 8.5d in redwings, 8.5 in thorogoods, and also 8.5 in yuketen johnson..
What size should I get for them visvim virgil folk boots?
edit:
Should I get size m8.5 or m9.5, what should the size say on the box? To be honest, I'm completely confused..

Their sizing is all over the place. I know some people will not agree with that statement. So far I have a pair of Keifers US11 and a pair of Hockney US12. I have a pair of Virgils coming in this week US11 and will note the fit for you here. I am sure nameness or Vinneus can chime in here as well.What are the best places to buy Visvim online?
The first post in the thread has a few online retailers. Don't have time to look through the whole thread to see if I am repeating myself or someone else, but off the top of my head:
Also note that even though all/ some of these places have items online, Visvim only allows them to sell via email or by phone. You will not be able to place a order directly on the web.

Picked these up new on eBay: http://www.tresbienshop.com/brand/visvim/serra-boot-black
I have been eyeing a pair of Visvim for a while, so I am pumped.

How do you compare virgil sizing to red wing sizing lando?
Same size or…?Okay so the pair of US11 Virgil Moc Toe just came in. Not sure what season they are from. Actually I don't know much about them at all. The Visvim Virgil US11 (based on what I can tell) run about a half to full size smaller than Red Wing. I am a US11 in RW and they fit perfectly. These Virgils I just got are a US11 and they are a tad too small. Not something I particularly want in a boot. That being said, I am going to have a tough time parting with them as I have been on the hunt for a pair of my own for some time now. I would much prefer a round toe Virgil in Black, but with a US11.5 or US12, I am going to have to pay retail….... BOOOOOO! Hope that helps if only a little bit.

Just won these on eBay. Much cheaper than retail. Second pair I have bought in the last 24 hours. Hope they fit.

Stupid question. Do you guys just wear your Visvim until they die? They don't look like shoe that will age well, and I assume they can't be resoled. I have a really large shoe rotation, so I guess it is not much of an issue for me.

Depends which style of Visvim you mean to be fair. I have owned FBT's, Skagway and Logans, and I currently own a pair of Kiefers, these would not really be the kind of shoe that I would get resoled. I imagine that if you had Virgils, or some of the more sturdy boot type then you should be able to get them resoled without too much of an issue. They look like a fairly regular stitch down construction, like many American work boots.

Can someone please explain to me what makes Visvim so special that the price of these can be justified at $500+ dollars? I'm not trying to knock Visvim by any means and it may just be a case that I have never seen this or many of their other shoes in person, but this price for a sneaker is just insane to me. Any insight would be appreciated. (I'm also curious why their jackets are $1k+ as well)

Thanks for that store by the way Champ

L, did you end up keeping your Virgils?
Yup. Currently have the following pairs: Virgil Moc Toe, Grizzly Boots, Keifer, Hockney.

Every pair of Visvim that I've owned has been made in Korea, not sure where they are made these days though. Wherever it is should not be a reflection of the quality, as Visvim are top notch.
