      Sorry to hear about your feet Tat.  I was just lusting over the JL engineers on the SE site.  Shoot me a PM if you do consider selling them.

            Cristian said RC sizing is similar to RW and Barrie last which is a half size bigger. So a 9 in JL=9.5 in RC. I'm confused.

              I'm with Friday - you all have me all fucked up - I've been following this thread and "thought" JLs were basically TTS.  I wear a 12 in RC but I'm scared to try a 12 in JLs.  I'd LOVE to have some JLs if I thought they'd fit (size 12 that is).  I explored trying to get John to do a 13 but it was too much to try and get all the Bigfoots together to make a commitment.

                They've been discussing this over at Denimbro too.

                But I don't really understand your concern Bluegrass. The consensus seems to be that the RCs are smaller. So a 12 in the JLs should work fine for you, no?

                  Maybe I read it wrong in past posts, but I've always understood that RCs run about a half to full size big (which I found to be accurate) - and that JLs ran more TTS.  But if what I'm reading is what you're saying, then the JLs run even bigger than the RCs? And I'm going to jump in when they do a restock…

                    Rcs are smaller.

                      Oh my… Now I'm confused.

                      So I'm 11.5 in RC, 11 in most viberg lasts, and 12 in most sneakers. From searching around the forums, what I gather is size 12 lofgrens would probably be to big. Is that right?

                        I thinks so… sounds like you might be an 11 in JL or 11.5 for a roomy fit... thats what I'm hearing.

                          Vintage Engineer Boots wears his Lofgren's a half size smaller than his Road Champs, just FYI. He wears a 7.5 in RCs and a 7 in Lofgrens.

                              Thanks Scott. It seems they do run a bit bigger in sizing.

                              I also sent Kiya an email and his advice is to go with my viberg sizing. Meaning a 9 in viberg also 9 in JL. More than that it will definitely be too big.

                                  To my understanding yes.. I told kita I'm wearing a 9uk in viberg engineers and 8.5uk in 310 lasts which is the widests boots I have.

                                  Kiya told me 9 JL sizes would be a better choice rather than going with a 9.5

                                    I have no experience with Viberg, but that advice seems suspect to me.
