Viberg

I am with graeme, shoreman and madmonday. maybe use an insole and walk the boot in. as the sole will crack overtime the boot will mold more to your feet and gets more comfortable.
this is what happened with my horsehide engineer. bought it in UK8 my usual size is US 8.5. put in an insole, wear it almost everyday and now it perfectly shaped to my foot and can also wear it without insole depending on the socks I wear. a UK7.5 would have been to small for me in this one.
the same procedure goes with my flathead workboots. bought a 26.5cm which is a Europe 42, could easily have bought a 25.5cm but was not sure about the toes, so I stayed with the 26.5 and am happy I did.
better a bit too big than too small imho as feet will "grow" when getting older and wiser

I also would like concur with the rest of the gentlemen's regarding the sizing of Viberg. Mine you may call it half a size big but with boot socks and with my feet getting colder i tend to wear double socks and the fit is perfecto.. love my new scout boots but going to wear my pull on viberg during winter as the sole gives me more grip…

Friday, those are beautiful.

they cause no pain and feel fine when i wear them
Well if you sent in the sizing info and this is the result, then why do you want to go smaller? I have lots of boots where my toes don't reach the end, but they feel fine, so I've never given the sizing a second thought.

Congrats on that pair Friday. Just a little tweak of the original design, but I think everyone will agree, it was a great choice. Always excited to see your posts because you have some unique gear!

next pair do i size down to 12.5 or 12? these are 13 and my finger is where my big toe ends on these
In a pair of shoes/boots that fits, the big toe should never reach the front end of the shoe when standing; otherwise with the elongation of the foot when walking the big toe will be punching and this is going to be painful.
I think that a thumb between the big toe and the front of the shoe when standing is just the way it should be. Again it depends on the form of the toe cap but it worked for me each time.

I wear a size 11US in most athletic shoes (PF Flyers, Nike, Mizuno, etc.) and I was unsure what size in Vibergs I'd be, so I did the measuring kit. They put me in a size 10, which is what I would have guessed, had I not let them size me up long distance.
So I'm thinking your gut is right…

so you guys out there make me fuzzy with all this Viberg crazyness lately going on…
so may I present you my new sheep under the wolves fur and new companion to my engineer, here we go
I love the understated roughness of this service boot and the deepness of the merlot color.
my usual US size is 8.5
