        Hi folks,
        is there anybody out there who owns a pair of Alden Indy boots (or any other model on the Trubalance last) and these beauties?
        What with have you chosen for the Vibergs, D or E, to get the same comfortable feeling?

        Cheers
        Peter

          Depends on what width you got in your Aldens

            Good call 😉
            In my Aldens there's a mark B/D, so it's a D?

              Stick with D in the Vibergs then.

                Cheers Giles.
                And a 10,5 in the Alden would translate to a 10,5 in the Vibergs, right?

                  I'd go 10D.  US sizing is different from UK (Viberg use) sizing:

                                This is a problem. Sometimes I'm 41.5, sometimes 42. I know  Red Wing (US 8; UK 7) and Yuketen (US 8.5 UK dunno)

                                  We can send you 2 pairs if you like and you can send the pair that don't fit back again….I'd reckon you are an 8 in the Vibergs

                                            congrats georgeel!! you gonna love the boot.

                                            fwiw the 1950 tends to run about a half size bigger due the the last used and shape. I am normally a 9uk in vibergs and 10us in wescos but for my 1950 viberg service, I can fit a 8uk comfortably. But if wearing a thick wool socks then it'll be a bit on the tight side but not so tight that i cannot wear them.

                                            Hopefully it'll work fine for you and if doesn't you can always exchange them.

                                            Tough, heavy and ready! = IRON HEART
