Viberg 1950's Service Boot - Mocha Ice - Who wants to order?

[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!

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!

All depends in how your foot is built and the last I sized down full size on 310 last and its still incredibly wide and a tad long to the point my engineers are unwearable. I would suggest if you have concerns do a tracing and a foam box print and send it in to have their help…. Even though I did that too and still didnt work. You definitely take a chance when trying to size the unknown without trying them on first.
