Agreed ^^

I have these in the shop for a resole, and I really miss them. I can't believe they're on sale for 5. They are worth every penny of the full asking price.
@seanocono Pics and update when ya get them back please ….mine might be getting ready for resole ...defiantly new heel lift but might go all out

For what it's worth, here's some fitment info for my other boots/shoes. I ordered these in an 8.5EE.
Brannock (US): 9.5D or E (and my feet are high-volume)
Viberg 2030: 8.5 (length is ok, a bit tight in the forefoot. A 9 would also work)
Viberg 110: 8 (length is borderline too short, width is good in the forefoot, somewhat loose in the heel)
Viberg 2045: 9 (length is just a hair long, width is snug but not uncomfortable with thin socks)
Trickers 4497: 8.5, Fitting 5 or 6 (length is good, width is good with thin or medium socks)
Rancourt: 9 (length and width are good, thin socks only)
Quoddy: 9 (length and width are good, thin socks only)I went with the EE width in the Wild Ones, as my feet are high volume and pretty sensitive to narrow boots. Most of Viberg's lasts are E or wider, too, so I figured it'd be better to go up a width, rather than down. Hopefully, I'm right. lol

I've got a pair of Red Wing Beckmans, which use the same last as the Iron Ranger, and a pair of Vibergs on the 2030 last. Both are in size 13, and about the right length for me, though the 2030 has an elongated toe, which makes them look (extra) enormous on my feet.
The 2030s are a bit snug in the forefoot for me, but when I tried on @trail and arrow's Service Boots (in a 110 or 310 last) they were a bit loose. And short.

Im curious how the 2005 last fits aswell. I really like these boots and wanna try em out. I take 11 in 2030 and have an 11 in 2045 (lil long). Think i could do 10.5 or 11.5 in these?

You know what works well when trying to convince your wife to let you buy new boots? Good wine. Thanks again to @Giles @summ3rhays and @D97x7 for the sizing help. Psyched to get these boots at such a bargain.
-
I say include a bottle with each purchase. That way when the buyer needs 'significant other permission' before the next purchase they have a bottle ready to go.

Anyone have any input on this?

How does the 2030 fit, in terms of width and length? If the 11 in 2045 is too long, my guess is the 11.5 in 2005 would be long, too.
