Viberg
-
These are Viberg 10s. I normally wear a 10 in US sizing, and these feel like about a 10.5 to me…
What's size are you Tod? Hahaa! Hit me up if you want to flog em!! If they are my size that is.. I think I'm drooling over them…
-
I am not generally a fan of chukka style boots, but I think if you want a chukka this is a great boot for it!
Been wanting a Service Boots with aged bark leather to be my 1st Viberg while got some response from Morgan about sizing and price for an MTO this Chukka with the same aged bark leather at a discounted price looks attractive also, What you guys think?
-
Yeah, pretty sure a 9.5E is probably my Viberg size, but like you I like some extra toe room and I also need an arch-support insole, so 10 works better.
The lasts vary greatly in fit and feel, but Vibergs seem pretty consistently .5 larger than US in my experience…
Tod yeah correct, a uk9.5 or even a uk9 depending on the last would probably be your viberg size. But hei maybe it works out well while breaking them in. I wear uk8 viberg and wear us8 or 8.5 in my other boots and it works well because i like my boots comfortable for my toes
-
I would prob say I full size down from US sizing. From my experience having worn 2045, 110 and trying on 2030 last's.

We were shopping at Nordstrom's yesterday, and Lori was so disappointed in the quality of all the boots and shoes. Thinking about doing a custom build for her. Does anyone know what's the smallest size the 2030 last comes in? Thinking a double/triple stack heel, black oil tan engineer with brass hardware. Essentially the wild ones, but more feminine.

Badass. Thanks, G.

Nice! Hahaa, once again my not reading every thread leaves me asking what is answered.. Oh well.. You get that.

I posted this on the Wild Ones thread, but perhaps this general thread gets more views.
Perhaps someone has experience to compare the John Lofgren engineer and the Viberg ( particularly 2005 last) sizing?
I had a size 12 John Lofgren engineer, which was one of only two that he made (Matt at Rivet Head blog needed a 12 and John made me a pair too). It was the biggest size he offered. These were very tight at first and did loosen up, but any walk over a 1/2 mile and I'd get a blister along the side of my big toe. Very nice boot, but I sold them this spring the get 'the one' boot with looks AND fit me.
Does a John Lofgren size 12 = Viberg size 12? The Lofgren size 12 was definitely too small. I am thinking a Viberg size 13 this point. I don't think a 12.5 size is offered, but I could be wrong.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Here's a family portrait.
Service Boot - English Dubbin Tan - Dainite Sole (from sample sale, was quoted as 110 last, but pretty sure it's actually 2045)
Boondocker with Dainite Sole (110 last)
Icy Mocha CXL Oxford (from sample sal, 110 last)
Vintage Tan Oxford with ripple sole (110 last)Had an Oxford on the 2030 last, but that is a no-go area for my wide ass feet!
-
How do you like the monster ripple sole? I'm intrigued by them, but it's a lot of money to spend on a shoe based solely on experimentation.
