    @thomasnunnally:

    Great post Urb, but still drives me nuts that some people claim to be the same size in UK Vibergs as they are in their US shoes, when almost everywhere else I look says to size down 1.  At least I know what size I would be in Whites now.

    I used to think I was a 10/10.5US in most shoes. Sometimes, I'd even get size 11 because I thought the 10.5 was too tight. Then, I tried on some Alden Indys… hello properly fitting shoe/boot world.

    My point is, most of these guys have NO FUCKING IDEA what size they are. And when you throw in handmade boots, you get even more confused because of all the slight inconsistencies.

      I have a shit load of boots.  Paula made me articulate exactly what I have, whilst driving to the airport the other day (luckily, she did not ask about stuff that was on order or inbound).  I have very few "doubles", that is more than one boot by the same maker, I do that because I love seeing how different bootmakers/artisans approach the relatively simple task of shodding a person, in different ways.  I like understanding the differences in build, differences in feel, differences in cut and differences in fit (and a load of other variables too).

      In my experience, a Viberg 9 fits perfectly.  so too does a RW or a Whites 10

              Wait, so we have to order a pair off Bakers site to enter?  It can't just be any pair of boots we get made, it has to go through your affiliate code, is that right?

                          Okay I'm in.  It was just the Bakers thing which threw me.  Didn't/don't get it.  Whatever, prepare your asses.

                                  Impressive judging panel. I look forward to enjoying the contest from the sidelines while I work my way back from wedding-induced poverty!

                                    Hoping to add to the judging panel from this forum too, with a man who knows his stuff when it comes to boots and boot care, just sent him a PM.
