IHVB-05 - The Wild Ones - Iron Heart/Viberg Engineer Boot Collaboration

It is not good that I am salivating while watching that video and have some PayPal money…. Are there any places to try on viberg a in la?!?
-
I was trying to do some research, but kept running into dead ends. Does anyone know how the 2005 last fits? Does it run TTS, or a half size smaller, like the 2030?
I don't, but I know you will chat to Morgan. Let us know the answer…..

My wife is going to kill me…
Should I size these the same as my IHVB-04-B-O-T (the recent IH/Viberg Mocha Ice service boot)?
-
Thanks. As soon as I can commit to a color ill kick in my deposit.

i ordered these the same size as my service boots, i'll let you in on a little trick in handling pissed off wives(it's expensive) order something for her that will come in the same delivery

Just to add the the chorus of questions about sizing: I wear a size 11 US in Chippewa boots, though I'm often 11.5 or 12 in shoes (i.e. alden, sneakers). Seems like from what people say Viberg run a bit big? So an 11 US would translate to 10 UK in these? Just curious to hear other people's experiences..
Never thought I'd spend this much on boots but eff me in the A man these are the sex! I don't even ride motorcycles…

Viberg are sized in UK sizes. Old man Viberg learnt his craft in England, which is probably why Viberg are so good. I'm being serious here, there is probably not a better pair of shoes or boots to be bought anywhere than a pair of English bench made boots, or shoes, and apart from being made in Canada, that is what you are getting when you buy Viberg.
UK and US sizes are different.
I size down 1/2 a size when going from US to UK…

Perhaps someone has experience to compare the John Lofgren engineer and the Viberg 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). 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. I do have cheap pair for Chippewa engineers in US 13 that fit reasonably well and I can wear those with thick or thin socks by adjusting the strap if that helps any.
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.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

So if you're a 13 in Chippewa you're a 12 in Viberg?
Anyone else here own Chippewas and Vibergs? I'm an 11 in chippewa, though I'm usually an 11.5 in US shoes. I went down a half size since the Chippewas ran a bit big. I am agonizing a bit over figuring out the proper UK size. Anyone know of any home methods that actually work?
-
Ahh ok. So you would probably take G's advice and go a half size down to 12.5 for the Vibergs.
