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

[peng]

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

@Finn666:

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

[madmonday]

nope Georgi you are a 7.5 or a 7, hahahahaha

[georgeel]

My little heart say "8! 8!"

[georgeel]

I just ordered the last 8 left. Please, don't send anything else. In any case, thanx a lot!

[georgeel]

(gasp! I'm really very excited! Brand new boots… Viberg... from IH...)

congrats georgeel!! you gonna love the boot.

fwiw the 1950 tends to run about a half size bigger due the the last used and shape. I am normally a 9uk in vibergs and 10us in wescos but for my 1950 viberg service, I can fit a 8uk comfortably. But if wearing a thick wool socks then it'll be a bit on the tight side but not so tight that i cannot wear them.

Hopefully it'll work fine for you and if doesn't you can always exchange them.

Same here Georgeel.
I went with a 9uk. With thick socks. This last is on " the wide side"
8,5uk was also working for sure. These boots are fantastic.  The oiled leather used on these is top! Very high standard! Enjoy!!
