    Same here Georgeel.
    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…

                  Hold your horses!
                  I have some pairs of good laces almost identical!
                  Please keep for me the originals and ship them next time, maybe with the IH-817 …

                          Oh, thanks…

                          And this is the first day for my new boots. I paired them with my 634S and I felt the coolest man in the world!  ::)
                          it's as if my feet were back in the 50s…

                              Anyone experienced some breaking-in problems with these? I guess today I had me first one. Took these for a long walk and the experience was not good.It´s not a size problem, this is ok, but still my right foot hurts like hell in the heel counter,blister included.
                              Maybe it´s the stiffness of the heelcounter or the height of the heel..dunno. Crap though…  😞

                                How long a walk?  How much have you worn them before the walk?

                                  Never had a problem in the heel counter but heel cup?? top most heel counter?? I've had an uncomfortable experience due to the stiffness of the material. But sorted with a nice thick socks for a like, 20 wears then it's gone.

                                    Maybe it´s my weird right foot.My right heel rubs the lower part of the counter more than my left foot,judging by the wearing spot on the inside of the shoe.The stiffness of the material is not forgiving.I hope this goes away with more wear. Maybe I can solve this with thicker socks for long walks,..

                                      It took me about two months for my Vibergs to adjust to my feet (and only had an issue with the right foot as well)… So hang in there...

                                        Two months eh ..  😞  After a one day rest, I´m wearing them again for three days in a row now. I will win this fight for sure…they remain one of my favorite boots.

                                          My Vibergs also took around 2 months of wear to break in fully. Softening up all throughout the way, but it was around 2 months of wear where I felt like 'okay these are good to go now'. They're a life time boot for sure.
