Viberg

Looks like it to me, too.

Thanks, G. I am trying to determine my size in Vibergs, as I have never tried on a pair. I am a size 15 in Red Wings and Timberlands. They are a little snug, but that is the way I like them. I put a couple of pieces of paper down and marked where the front and back of my foot ends on the pages. My foot measures about 32 centimeters long. I know some people have only gone down a half size when converting from US to UK sizing in Vibergs. Unfortunately, I don't have that luxury; so I am trying to decide between a UK 14 or UK 15. I was also wondering if there are slight variations between the models, i.e. the scouts running larger than the service boots, etc.. Thanks for your help, dudes.

Hi Sean I am a tts us 8.5 and take uk 8 in my engineer, my service and my ironworker. In the engineer i use an insole to have a proper fit together with a thin sock. The other two are worn just as they are with a good fit and enough space for the toes. My feet measure approx 25.5 cm and i add 1.5cm for the toes. Check out the sizing scale in the resource Center to get a feeling. Depending on the shoe you r probably between a uk 14 and a uk 14.5, but hei no guarantee every feet are different
good luck -
Thank you, davito. I checked out the resource center and the wiki page. I think a 14.5 would be perfect, but I don't think Viberg (or most other shoe companies) make half sizes past 13. Still debating, but I think I am leaning toward a 14, considering they should stretch a bit with wear.

Once I get mine, I will post some advice on sizing. I went down a whole size.

I'm with Davito with sizing down 1 whole size from my 10US to a size 9UK in both my scout and pull on boots. Both gives me like 1-1.5cm extra room for toes. Unless you have a high instep then you might probably need to go with a custom build for a pull on vibergs based on my experience on mine. Ask G-San he can confirmed this

Hey G, do you think you will ever do another collab with similar materials to 01 and 03, but maybe try it in a service boot?
-
That is exactly what I meant. I was trying to picture it myself, and if it happened I think it could look cool, but thought it might be hard to pull off.

stop posting that boot Finn, its killing my will to resist a purchase.
-
Yea Rafa, that concept is cool. I think G would have to comment on if the denim could replace that roughout, and how it would last/age. Probably lots of questions there.

i´m sure it is replaceable since it´s actually nothing else (well slightly different!) as on the IHVB-01 or -03…from what i saw is that it´s denim on the outside and leather on the inside (might be clued on or sewed together or however they did it!) but this could work as well for a service boot imo...the only point that has to be reinforced with leather, may be the one where the laces go through!
sounds simple, don´t think it is though! so let´s wait...
