      I don't know why his big toe would be situated in the middle quite like that but keep in mind, for the most part, Viberg boots run quite narrow and snug in and around the heel. I'd argue that my pair is roughly a half size too big–length-wise--but given the width, I don't believe I'd be able to size down.

        Graeme you are turning out to be a very useful forum member.  natehate think those might be a little tooo big, but if they are comfortable & cause no issues on the little piggies, f^ck it & ride with them.

          I am with graeme, shoreman and madmonday. maybe use an insole and walk the boot in. as the sole will crack overtime the boot will mold more to your feet and gets more comfortable.

          this is what happened with my horsehide engineer. bought it in UK8 my usual size is US 8.5. put in an insole, wear it almost everyday and now it perfectly shaped to my foot and can also wear it without insole depending on the socks I wear. a UK7.5 would have been to small for me in this one.

          the same procedure goes with my flathead workboots. bought a 26.5cm which is a Europe 42, could easily have bought a 25.5cm but was not sure about the toes, so I stayed with the 26.5 and am happy I did.

          better a bit too big than too small imho as feet will "grow" when getting older and wiser 🙂

          Cheers,
          David

              I also would like concur with the rest of the gentlemen's regarding the sizing of Viberg. Mine you may call it half a size big but with boot socks and with my feet getting colder i tend to wear double socks and the fit is perfecto.. love my new scout boots but going to wear my pull on viberg during winter as the sole gives me more grip…

                    they cause no pain and feel fine when i wear them
                    just getting ready to order a second pair and want some opions as to how far down i can go
                    and as to the fitting i did all that and sent them the measurements and as you can see they ignored them completely

                    don't you know there ain't no devil? only god when he's drunk!

                        If this is true, I wouldn't want to risk and order another pair.

                          Well if you sent in the sizing info and this is the result, then why do you want to go smaller?  I have lots of boots where my toes don't reach the end, but they feel fine, so I've never given the sizing a second thought.

                              Plus you can always pull a Giles if they're really too narrow.

                                  Congrats on that pair Friday.  Just a little tweak of the original design, but I think everyone will agree, it was a great choice.  Always excited to see your posts because you have some unique gear!

                                    next pair do i size down to 12.5 or 12? these are 13 and my finger is where my big toe ends on these

                                    In a pair of shoes/boots that fits, the big toe should never reach the front end of the shoe when standing; otherwise with the elongation of the foot when walking the big toe will be punching and this is going to be painful.

                                    I think that a thumb between the big toe and the front of the shoe when standing is just the way it should be. Again it depends on the form of the toe cap but it worked for me each time.

                                      I can't afford to, but I think I'm about to pull the trigger on the 4 horsemen boots.. I have no idea about viberg sizing though. I'm pretty sure you guys can help me..

                                      I wear an 11.5 in redwing 1907. 12 in vans, etc.

                                          El, Uk11 sounds the way to go but then every foot is different. You have no chance to try some boots on in person to make a first experience? Maybe graeme has some more input for u.

                                            I wear a size 11US in most athletic shoes (PF Flyers, Nike, Mizuno, etc.) and I was unsure what size in Vibergs I'd be, so I did the measuring kit.  They put me in a size 10, which is what I would have guessed, had I not let them size me up long distance.

                                            So I'm thinking your gut is right…
