      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

                                            I went with a 9uk. With thick socks. This last is on " the wide side" 😉
                                            8,5uk was also working for sure. These boots are fantastic.  The oiled leather used on these is top! Very high standard! Enjoy!!
