Super, there were some sick ones on Rakuten… Not sure if the size is right or for that matter the price, I think it was just one pair.

if you are half size down and wear good socks you should be fine. if they are tight wear em with thin socks or barefeet til they are broken in you will get a bit of stretch

Davito, go a half size down on the Vibergs from my RCs? I'm not buying anything else any time soon. Just thinking about it.

[davito]

with Viberg I would recommend to get in touch with Giles here or with Viberg directly, they are the professionals. I wear all my Vibergs in UK8 standard width I like comfy shoes with enough room at the toes so its not everybody's taste

my RC are US8

thanks for the helpful links d.!

Thanks, Davito. I thought about going to the Viberg pop-up here in NYC last month to talk to them about sizing, but was afraid I'd wind up spending money I don't have! BTW, where did you get those Bucos? So nice!

[davito]

very welcome. I just noted that even the old school bags in the first runs might be different. There are bags with a sewing machine print and others like mine with MF L.A. lettering

[davito]

VMC Zurich buddy I was very honoured to get em with the first shipment they received this year

[superfuzz]

My bag has just the Mister Freedom lettering too. I carry my coffee thermos and lunch in it!

All indications are that Finn is going to be a happy man soon on the RC sizing, though nerkg's description of the sizing sounded perfect "fits like us 9.5 or snug 10"

[superfuzz]

I went with a size 7.5 in the RCs which is what I wear in Alden Truebalance last and in Red Wings. The fit great with thick socks. I need to wear them some more so they'll mold to my feet. I had to add some extra holes to the strap to get it tighter.

[davito]

try em on first and maybe work with an insole and see how you feel, every feet are different

@davito:

lol, not in this life matey but never say never right ^^

[mclaincausey]

Well I'm a 9.5 in red wings very solidly (electronic measurement at a RW store) so there is hope.

Davito you better believe ill try any measure to keep these babies

Thanks guys such a great community.
