@UrbanRover:

Typically I am a US 11D.

a US 11D in what?

if it's Red Wings, Yuketen, Converse Chucks or something else, then i'd go with a 10.5 at least…more like a 11 though!

i'm a US 9D in the all of the above and a UK 9 in the Viberg Service Boot with the 310 last...works perfect with thick and thin socks! comfy as hell!

I am 11D in John Varvatos (Made in Italy) ankle boots, in Adidas Running Shoes, also 11D in Corcoran 10"  Jump Boots (http://www.corcoranandmatterhorn.com/ItemDisplay.asp?Style=1500)

So probably I'd go for 11 in Viberg Service Boot?

[Finn666]

personally I would go with an UK 11, yes…should be your best bet! if they should turn out a tad too big you can always add an insole...if they turn out too small you're fucked!
so UK 11 is my vote!

[UrbanRover]

Thanks, I'll go for an 11!  What's lead time approx?

[Jordan23]

You do realize that Viberg size in UK not US, so reading through what you said earlier youre typically a US11, which roughly translates to a UK10, or possibly 10.5.

Just wanted to point that out

[wolfblood]

I've heard of a lot of people screwing up their viberg orders on that issue….so Giles you say 10.5(uk)E, has anyone here have the accursed narrow heel, I do, any suggestions on this boot?

[summ3rhays]

Agreed. I'd go 10 or 10.5. I have Varvatos chukkas in size 12 and my size 11 Viberg Service Boots fit perfect.

going with the same NUMBER (no matter if US or UK sizing) works for a lot of folks (for me it does that perfectly!) and I was the one that told U&R to go with the same number…max. 0.5 down to a 10.5, but that's about it imo!...

[Giles]

And I advise everyone to size down half, and never had a return….And I think your advice to U&R is incorrect....

[Finn666]

…and in the end it all comes down to personal experience and nothing less!
if it works for me doesn't mean it works for others as well (same with your advice!)…so going with the same number works best for ME…period!

[Snowy]

I sized down by 1/2 a size from my US size. US9 to UK8.5, perfect fit.

[Jordan23]

I might be wrong but is the US size not always a half size bigger than the UK. At least it is the case in all my sportshoes.;)

Enjoy ya addiction!
