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.

Friday,
Do u mean the uk9 from Viberg and the us9 from JL?

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.

Care to share Chiba ?

Fwiw I'm a 10 in wesco, 10 in RW moc with extra insole, 9uk in Vibergs, 10 in most sneakers , 9D though an E would be better in Whites SD

That's possible…^^

I am uk9 in 310 last and uk8.5 in engineers.

I'm confused too but "I think" what everyone is saying is "JLs run big".

I wear a 12 UK Viberg and they are roomier than my size 12 RCs.  So what was said about Viberg sizing roughly matching up to JL sizing kinda makes sense.

I wish I could just try some on, but that ain't gonna happen.
