UK sizes are a half down on US sizing, so a UK11.5 is a US12.
You can often size down a bit with boots, but what I find bothersome isn't so much your toes hitting the end (if they do you've gone down too much), it's the way the boot fits the rest of your foot. I find it's the tops of my toes that get it the worst.
And if you buy a smaller size simply because you think your true size makes your foot look too big, then maybe you need to look at other boots. I find the false tongue on my Daytons breaks up the unreasonably long toe box.

My final Christmas present to myself. They are being sent to my parents' house, so I'll pick them up in early 2013.

dirty, it's the first one:
it has a leather sole. the other two are vintage models from the wwII era for comparison purposes. you can read more about the boondocker here on horween's site if you are so inclined

About to pick these up.. The lady I talked to at Viberg really wanted me to send in a foot tracing, so that's the next step..

Those are something special. Nice pick up.

If you go to the Viberg blog or you go to the Viberg Facebook page, you'll see a pair of Walnut Cordovan Service Boots. Brett was kind enough to sell these one if a kind boots to me. Horween gives Viberg very little Cordovan to play with and I'm sure that most of you know that only the absolute best shells get tanned into lighter colors like Ealnut and Whiskey (Alden).
Anyway, they look like the Leffot boots, but they are made in a cordovan that is 10 times as rare. They don't got me and I am trying to sell them. They have never been worn. They have only been on display at trade shows all around the world. If you're a Viberg size 8 and you really, really want these boots, shoot me a message.
They are only one pair of these beauties on this planet that we call Earth. I was incredibly bummed when they showed up and were too small.
Speaking of which, what size Viberg correlates to an Alden Barrie or Trubalance 9.
Giles, as an Iron Heart guy, I'd have to give you first swing at the pitch (it's an Americsn thing. Has nothing to do with a soccer field).
