Recieved my 1950 Service boots today. They fit better than I expected. These are 11 on what looks like the 110 last. The fit is almost identical to my 11.5 US Alden Indy boots. Hope this helps those looking to buy in the next rounds.

Viberg next to rw/bb colab boots, I'd say the viberg is definitely better built, and personally like the style better also. some people say they'd much rather own 2-3 pairs of rw over a pair of viberg, that's like saying you'd take 5 pairs of gap selvedge over a pair of Sam/ih, just doesn't make sense to me. If you can afford these, I'd definitely recommend them!

Just received mine today in the mail as well. I got 9 in the 1950 service boot and i am a 9 in Red Wings. I think i may have been able to size down a half size for a more snug fit but the 9s fit me just fit. a LITTLE bit more room in the toes but it's nothing noticeable really.

not sure exactly on the last but from guy's description, this sounds like it's the 110 last. I'm comparing them to Red Wing Iron Rangers. I'm also a 9 in Wolverine 1000 Miles. hope that helps!
ah thanks! do you by any chance if there's a size difference between RW 8138 (moc toe) vs. Iron Rangers? I wear size 9 US in RW 8138s and it sounds like I'm probably a 8.5 in the Viberg 110 last but just want to make sure.
Thanks!
