Davito, go a half size down on the Vibergs from my RCs? I'm not buying anything else any time soon. Just thinking about it.

[davito]

with Viberg I would recommend to get in touch with Giles here or with Viberg directly, they are the professionals. I wear all my Vibergs in UK8 standard width I like comfy shoes with enough room at the toes so its not everybody's taste

my RC are US8

thanks for the helpful links d.!

Thanks, Davito. I thought about going to the Viberg pop-up here in NYC last month to talk to them about sizing, but was afraid I'd wind up spending money I don't have! BTW, where did you get those Bucos? So nice!

[davito]

very welcome. I just noted that even the old school bags in the first runs might be different. There are bags with a sewing machine print and others like mine with MF L.A. lettering

[davito]

VMC Zurich buddy I was very honoured to get em with the first shipment they received this year

[superfuzz]

My bag has just the Mister Freedom lettering too. I carry my coffee thermos and lunch in it!

All indications are that Finn is going to be a happy man soon on the RC sizing, though nerkg's description of the sizing sounded perfect "fits like us 9.5 or snug 10"

[superfuzz]

I went with a size 7.5 in the RCs which is what I wear in Alden Truebalance last and in Red Wings. The fit great with thick socks. I need to wear them some more so they'll mold to my feet. I had to add some extra holes to the strap to get it tighter.

[davito]

try em on first and maybe work with an insole and see how you feel, every feet are different

lol, not in this life matey but never say never right ^^

[mclaincausey]

Well I'm a 9.5 in red wings very solidly (electronic measurement at a RW store) so there is hope.

Davito you better believe ill try any measure to keep these babies

Thanks guys such a great community.

[davito]

thats good, keeping those babies is the goal

[mclaincausey]

Indeed so, but I can at least rest assured there's a loving home awaiting if I can't make it work.

Someone on Superfuture wanted to see the backstays of my Road Champs where they were restitched after narrowing the shafts. So I thought I'd post pics here too.

[grandmasterben]

Road champs really are freaking sweet. Not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing that I'm too young to be walking around in this footwear…

And another question on my mind: how do you think these babies stack up against Viberg and such?
