          Has anyone else noticed that Viberg's website has been down for a few days?  Not the blog, but the actual site.  I am trying to get in contact with someone to determine my size for one or two of these upcoming orders.

            Sean, ask the question here, I'm sure you'll get just as an accurate an answer…..

              Thanks, G.  I am trying to determine my size in Vibergs, as I have never tried on a pair.  I am a size 15 in Red Wings and Timberlands.  They are a little snug, but that is the way I like them.  I put a couple of pieces of paper down and marked where the front and back of my foot ends on the pages.  My foot measures about 32 centimeters long.  I know some people have only gone down a half size when converting from US to UK sizing in Vibergs.  Unfortunately, I don't have that luxury; so I am trying to decide between a UK 14 or UK 15.  I was also wondering if there are slight variations between the models, i.e. the scouts running larger than the service boots, etc..  Thanks for your help, dudes.

                Hi Sean I am a tts us 8.5 and take uk 8 in my engineer, my service and my ironworker. In the engineer i use an insole to have a proper fit together with a thin sock. The other two are worn just as they are with a good fit and enough space for the toes. My feet measure approx 25.5 cm and i add 1.5cm for the toes. Check out the sizing scale in the resource Center to get a feeling. Depending on the shoe you r probably between a uk 14 and a uk 14.5, but hei no guarantee every feet are different 😉 good luck

                Cheers,
                David

                  Thank you, davito.  I checked out the resource center and the wiki page.  I think a 14.5 would be perfect, but I don't think Viberg (or most other shoe companies) make half sizes past 13.  Still debating, but I think I am leaning toward a 14, considering they should stretch a bit with wear.

                    I'd go down the half.

                        Once I get mine, I will post some advice on sizing.  I went down a whole size.

                          I'm with Davito with sizing down 1 whole size from my 10US to a size 9UK in both my scout and pull on boots. Both gives me like 1-1.5cm extra room for toes. Unless you have a high instep then you might probably need to go with a custom build for a pull on vibergs based on my experience on mine. Ask G-San he can confirmed this 😛

                            What I meant is.  I size down a whole size, but if that left me at a half size which Viberg do not make, I would go down a further half size, not up one….

                              Hey G, do you think you will ever do another collab with similar materials to 01 and 03, but maybe try it in a service boot?

                                I don't think so, I can't visualise the upper in a combo of denim and leather.  Or is that not what you meant?

                                  That is exactly what I meant.  I was trying to picture it myself, and if it happened I think it could look cool, but thought it might be hard to pull off.

                                      maybe something similar to this pair of service boots?
                                      21oz denim (indigo, sbg, sb) where the roughout is?…just a thought though, not sure if possible...

                                            Yea Rafa, that concept is cool.  I think G would have to comment on if the denim could replace that roughout, and how it would last/age.  Probably lots of questions there.
