            But…
            If UK8(RW)=UK9(V) then UK7(RW)= UK8(V); is mathematical...

                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!!

                                  you guys are pretty fucking killing me…giorgio you've edited your post while i was writing my answer! 😠
                                  first you said you're a UK7.5/US8.5 in red wing, so that's why i've recommended the UK8.5 in viberg! -.-

                                  now that you're a size UK7 in rw, the UK8 in vibergs should fit you nicely...

                                    I have been debunked, Finn!  😉
                                    I'd gone from memory, but then I checked out: UK7.
                                    So, your advice was perfect & precious!
                                    (and, in confidence, was the one who convinced me!  :-X)
                                    thank you again…
