IHVB-04-b-o-t - Iron Heart/Viberg 1950's Service Boot in Brown Oil Tan

[chrissa]

Hi Giles,

A couple of questions for you.

What kind of toe do the service boots use?  Did you spec an unstructured, partially structured, or fully structured toe?

Also, could you give some sizing advice?  I already have a pair of Viberg Contractor 151X boots with a steel toe in 11E.  I believe these boots use the same last as the Smokejumpers you sell.  How does the sizing of the Smokejumper compare to the 310 last of the Service boot?  If I'm an 11 in one, would I get an 11 in the other?

Thanks!

Chris.

I've got the same 9D in these boots and the smokejumper, both fit well, I find the service boot to be a little roomier in the toe box, not a lot, but just a touch longer and wider!

It's a bump toe, so I assume fully structured

I wear exactly the same size in both

Hi folks,
is there anybody out there who owns a pair of Alden Indy boots (or any other model on the Trubalance last) and these beauties?
What with have you chosen for the Vibergs, D or E, to get the same comfortable feeling?

Cheers
Peter

[Giles]

Depends on what width you got in your Aldens

[peng]

Good call
In my Aldens there's a mark B/D, so it's a D?

[Giles]

Stick with D in the Vibergs then.

Cheers Giles.
And a 10,5 in the Alden would translate to a 10,5 in the Vibergs, right?

[Giles]

I'd go 10D.  US sizing is different from UK (Viberg use) sizing:

A quick help, pls pls pls…

I am US 8 (UK 7) in Red Wing; in IHVB-04-b-o-t ? Maybe 7.5?

[Finn666]

^ i'd go with a 8.5!
i'm a UK8 in red wing and i'm wearing a 9 in all of my vibergs

Thanks!
But…
If UK8(RW)=UK9(V) then UK7(RW)= UK8(V); is mathematical...

Personally, I would ignore Finn  :D.  What is your Euro size….....

This is a problem. Sometimes I'm 41.5, sometimes 42. I know  Red Wing (US 8; UK 7) and Yuketen (US 8.5 UK dunno)

[Giles]

We can send you 2 pairs if you like and you can send the pair that don't fit back again….I'd reckon you are an 8 in the Vibergs
