Viberg Scout Boot
-
to confuse all & not help you at all tatmantall; i wear a comfortable 8 (UK, US who really knows at this point) in Viberg, Oakstreet Bootmakers & Alden footwear. I have a high instep & have been dubbed "littlefoot".
it's crazy mang

the perils of internet purchases . . . but you are in great hands. these fellas will sort you out in no time with a boot that fits well & is expertly crafted.
i just had to share my experience so you could get all info to make your decision

Just did a quick search online saw many people only go down .5 from Barrie or trubalance last… I wear thick socks with a 12.5 and have a fairly narrow foot.... Not sure if I did right or not now.... Feck

take a breath, you in good hands. here is what i suggest as you just made a deposit fairly recently.
contact G through pm (as I have done a classic derailment) & figure if it would be possible to trace your foot to get your "true" measurements in before your boot is lasted. you should have more than enough time & it will give you piece of mind & possibly better fitting footwear.
good luck, but i don't think you will need much of it on this.

I did the foot tracing sizing with Viberg and it worked beautifully. I highly recommend this for peace of mind.

Just pm'd Giles ill see what he has to say thanks guys
Fairly sure about the 11.5 as narrow as my foot is though just checked the Indys and their fit. I literally lace Them as tight as they allow and that fit is spot on honestly think I could have gone 12 in my indy but might have been only able to wear thinner socks instead of heavy wool work ones

Can't wait to hear everyone's impressions when they get this brutal beast-of-a-boot down the road. I've owned my IHVB-03's for close to a year now, and wear them all the time (mostly in anything but the summer months). These boots are built so well… they'll outlive your grandchildren.

dropped my foot tracing and measurements by the post office just a few minutes ago. Morgan at viberg should have them in about a week. Feel much better about the sizing issue now. so excited to have these beauties on feet!!!!

What size are you normally snowy? I'm a 12.5 alden trubalance… Urban woodsman told me to go with a 11.5 uk awhile back and should fit perfect. Noticed a lit of viberg sizing discussion going on in the thread right now though so curious how everyone else sized.
Euro 42 / 43 depending on the make. I have RW 875's in both UK 8 & 9, and find the UK9 too big, yet the UK8 a little too snug. So UK8.5 =).

oops forgot had already posted this info

From my experience, a full size down from your typical sneaker size should provide a comfortable fit.
I think this is where a lot of the confusion lay. A lot of the size downs are based on the initial sizing being in US, sizing down to UK.
Are you saying size 1 down from US, or UK size?
10US = 9UK
So sizing down 1 from 10 and adding the word UK on the end of it, is actually the same size.
Appreciate the clarification, and your avatar gets me every time btw

@tatmantall, Am sure that'll sort things.
I feel comfortable with 8.5 it's inbetween both sizes I own in front of me, so it should fit. The fact they're an E in the toes is a blessing :).
-
deposit sent in…NOW I need to get this sizing issue worked out..
I wear an 11.5 E in red wings 11.5 in most sneakers, 12 in converse/Vans.. This works out to a 45 in UK correct?
I just woke up.. I'm going back to sleep..lol... ::)
