How did I miss this? From Leffot, already sold out (naturally), #8 shell service boots:

Big congrats Finn mate, nice move u did

[Finn666]

thanks a lot mate…i´m brutal happy with them. i can even wear´em with thick socks which is a big plus (but a no go when wearing my 4HSxViberg boots)!
(these are a UK9 btw. my red wings & yuketen are all US9 and fit the same!)...

Yup! If you go a half size down from TTS, it really isn't the end of the world.

this really throws a wrench in my understanding of viberg sizing…. whammy

[Guest]

Yeah, it's really best if you can find a place to sit down and try numerous styles and models. (Like anything else, really.)

[Finn666]

after owning 2 pairs now, i´m definitley gonna stick with a UK9 in all of my future viberg purchases!
that´d be 0.5-1 size up from my normal shoes/boots (chucks, red wing, yuketen…)

I typically wear a 7.5D (or 7E) in Alden's Barrie, Modified and Trubalance lasts, and a 6.5E (UK-sizing) in Crockett and Jones' 325 last (and their Snowdon last, too). I'm trying to decide on a 6.5UK or 7UK for the Viberg 2030 last. Any tips on what I should go with?

[Bigbertha]

I wear a 7D in Alden Barrie and 7D in Vibergs. Can't speak to the 2030 last specifically.

7D is in UK sizing? I was told by Viberg their default width is in E, so I've been really confused because a lot of folks here are saying D. How did the two compare?

[demonito]

because default UK with is E

i wish people would next time say" im a 7.5UK standard width"

[misterjuiceman]

Yeah–it's made even more confusing by the fact that the Viberg site has no E size listed, just D and EE.

[thomasnunnally]

You can always contact Viberg and send in tracings to determine your size.  I kinda wish I had done that in the first place, but I just guessed.  And waiting over 3 months wondering if they will fit is quite agonizing!

Hi, here are my experience with the size chart from Viberg.
I wear in RW 8130/875 US Size 10.5 D
In Viberg, I wear in Service Boot 2030 last a 10.5 (Viberg Size)
The 2030 last is a little bit narrow in front.
In Service Boot with a 110 last I wear a Viberg Size 10.
I hope that can help.
