S&S sizing advice for the oxford (1035) deviates with Withered Fig's 1035 oxford advice. S&S says to go down full size from brannock. I have always heard only .5 size from brannock for the 1035 unless you have narrow feet. S&S also says 1.5sz down for narrow.

I can offer you my experience as another data point on this issue. For starters, I’m an 11C Brannock size.. I own Vibergs on several lasts: 2005 (engineer boot), 2040 (country boot), 1035 (service boot) and a 240 (hiker boot). The first three are size 10, with the engineer as the snuggest fit, the 2040 is a good fit, and the 1035 is the most loose around the toebox.
The 240 is a 9.5 and the fit is very good.
I think a 9.5 in the 1035 would have also been a great fit for me.

So, my experience seems to support the S&S recommentation.

Great! I assume you're aware of the differences between their custom and off-the-shelf boots, but let me know if you have any questions.

Not sure where you live, but if you have the ability to get to Intervale for a fitting for a pair of customs and can stomach the 2x or 2.5x price, I highly recommend it.

Awesome, I plan on just getting a regular pair soon - non custom lasted.

Glad to hear more praise for them!

Those rule of thumb sizing tips probably help ~75% of people. They don't work for me for instance. I really can't imagine how anyone even with narrow feet can go down 1.5.

Are there any laces like Guarded Goods but maybe a little thicker?

Bourbon & mocha vibergs thrown in with a pair of English boots strictly for rainy days has been my rotation this summer. Thought vibergs would be unbearable in July/August but they’re still going strong.

Seeing the L&F MTO completion got me itching for my own ?

Charcoal chamois roughout, black stacked leather midsole on gray miniripple today.

Just got the waxed deer boots from S&S.

Initial thoughts:
- Love the waxed roughout deer. Soft and supple. Slightly thinner than my kudu boots.
- these boots are heavy I thought they came with trees at first. The soles are definitely heavier than most others.

I’m curious as how a soft leather pairs with a tough sole. I’d like them with horsebutt or camel or something similar.

Time will tell for breakin and wear vs itshide or dainite.

Camel is relatively thin as well

Thinking more about rigidity.

Are y'all tired of my mini-ripple conversion obsession yet?
