I'm liking, I'm a us11 wide(doc Martin industrial Wellington)

[Giles]

I'd go 10.5 E

[wolfblood]

I put my deposit down, too good to pass

@UrbanRover:

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

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!

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.

[FurattoHeddo]

…and these will have a 705 half sole and a cats paw heel like the first run?

How do I get in touch with Morgan these days?

[Giles]

They will.  Check PM

afeckingmen!

TMG did that and Morgan told him to get an 11.5E.  He came here and I told him to get a 10E.  I was right….

[mclaincausey]

Shit, I hope mine fits… 8.5 makes sense, E width concerns me.  My feet aren't wide.

well done G.!
if i would have gone for an UK 8, i would have to cut the toebox open to make them fit. so every foot behaves a bit different i'd say…no matter what, i hope that all are going to make the right choice and get what they've paid for in the end...and best in the right size
