Depends on the fit of your 03s … But you could always run them to a cobbler and have then stretched a half size is not a huge difference... As far as thoughts on the actual boot, I've yet to see one I don't like!!!!!! 

[madmonday]

sorry can not see the image.  my bobcat's have a round toe & very generous fit. as tmt asked how is the fit of your 03s?

if generous i think a half size down wouldn't be bad, but then again i can not see the image & just wanted to respond cause snowy is that dude 

@Finn666:

how many pairs you going to get btw.?

actually sat this out finn, i am fortunate enough to actually have too many pairs of boots at the moment.  once i sell/donate a few pairs to make space i might rethink it

[Finn666]

^sounds reasonable…even though that´s a word i´m not thinking off when talking about the MAD man
j/k! ^^

@Snowy:

27. 1950 ice mocha, brogue cap toe, vibram 269 sole $400 Sz – 7, 8

1/2 a size smaller than my IHVB-03's so not sure, any thoughts?

personally i wouldn´t size down, not even a half size on the 2030 last. my general rule of thumb is tts or 0.5 down for the "bigger" lasts like 2040, 160, 310 and tts or 0.5 up for the "smaller" lasts like 110 and 2030…"bigger" and "smaller" talking about the room in toebox o/course!

[madmonday]

can't believe i'm saying this, but finn actually makes sense on this, hahahahahahaha

okay, got to get to work

[Finn666]

^ha

Thanks Finn, I had that thread in mind, but wasn't having much luck tying the last back to the specific model of boots. Your advice on when to size up/down is appreciated too!

[Snowy]

on a quadruple check I'm going to let this round go. Feel close on a few, but nothing screaming my name.

(spelling tonight is gone to sh!t :/)

[SimonQ.]

hopefully they´lll answer me soon.. ;/

[Snowy]

Goodluck Simon! Think you'll know in about 4 hours

[Mumbles]

Simon if you are still waiting to hear back, i would check the list again to see if the ones you were interested in have been sold.  They won't respond if so and I also believe they have already sent out all the invoices so far for this round.

DEPENDING ON the model ordered but I would go with Finn's advice. For me personally, with scout and service boots I can even fit 8-9 with proper socks but will stay tts with any vibergs pull-on or engineer. What size are you snowy?

[Snowy]

8 1/2 UK in the scouts that are a good/great fit (little room with thin socks, perfect with thick)..

Feeling the love mate appreciate your reply :).

[Friday]

imo 1/2 size down won't hurt if you're eyeing the 1950 service. Good luck buddy.

[bagley920]

Anyone besides Shane get anything this go round?

With a different sole, Shane's are bad ass but they fit him!

[Snowy]

Thanks Friday, wrote, and cancelled, then re-wrote, and cancelled the order e-mail. Going to gamble and wait and see what next week brings :). I think an 8 will work, even following Finn's advice too (I think 8 is my TTS…will just have to purchase and find out )

[Friday]

Hahaha that's the right way…

[FurattoHeddo]

Snowy sorry to disappoint you, but I think 27 is sold check the thread:

@Snowy:

my 1950 service boots are the same fitwise (little room with thin socks, perfect with thick) and they´re built on the 310 last and are a UK9.
the 4HS 1940 service boots i had were built on the 2030 and a UK8.5…no chance to feel comfortable in´em, not even a minute! the toebox was just way to narrow/flat and not even thin socks were good to go. so i´m really happy for your wallet that you´ve cancelled that email.

[Friday]

I have a feeling that lots more great boots will be listed and mostly in the 400-500 price range
