Viberg

[Broark]

Hey guys, I have a (dreaded) sizing question.
Over at Styleforum they're rerunning the Hopper boot and I've decided that I really like the build so I'm going to grab a pair. I've never tried on Vibergs, and my current go to boot is a pair of Alden Indy boots which are an 11.5. I also have a pair of Alden black shell cordovan boots which are also and 11.5 but I'm unsure which last they are. Possibly the Grant last, and they are a little snug.
I'm guessing that the safe bet would be a size 11 in the 2005 last?

How do you buy a pair of viberg boots if you live in the U.S.

My Wesco foot patrol are 11.5. I wear Viberg 11 in both of my pairs. It may depend on the last though. I've heard some run smaller or more narrow.

@ghettomedic Viberg Engineers run short, compared to other Vibergs.  I wear a 9.5D in Wesco Jobmasters and Wesco Packers, 9E in Wesco Foot Patrols.  I had a pair of Viberg Engineers in 8.5EE, and they were too short - I should've bought a 9.

@ghettomedic I size down .5 from Wesco to Viberg (from 12.5 to 12) but you may get varying opinions…

[davito]

Thanks man @Appfaff yes I wear em hard, resole soon

@Finn666:

Just remembered I never did this, here you go..

The Aged Bark Rough Out is really nice indeed!

Nicest boots I've owned, seriously considering some Wesco FPs though which sound much more comfortable. I guess these fit but think the 2030 last isn't ideal for me…

@EJS  I've owned two pairs of 2030 boots, and the Foot Patrols are much more comfortable.  Granted, everyone's feet are different, so this is just my observation.  The 2030 is fairly flat and tight across the top of the foot, whereas the FP has a little more room.  Also, I think the FPs are (marginally) better made.

[EJS]

Thats really good to know, thanks. How does the 2030 compare to the FP sizing wise?
