12 fits me perfect. Hint, HintPicked up a pair of Brown cxl captoes on 2030 last off the bay last night in size 11.5 as I wanted to see the fit compared to the size 12 I have. The size 12 fits well but a touch lose in heel so I am curious to see what the 11.5 feels like.

Thanks for the information and the size 12 that I have now is the Latigo navy service boot on the 2030 and that is very soft leather so my foot which is an e width feels good in it.
I have a 12.5 CXL on pre-order with leffott on the 2030 - this was the first boot I ordered so I had no clue on sizing other than Barrie to compare and even then I owned shell and alpine grain boots which are tighter across the vamp so I went up a 1/2 size for the viberg...
Fast forward I got a CXL Alden barrie boot and that fits after some wears perfect with medium weight sock...so now I think the 12.5 viberg might be big once broken in.
Then I ordered the SF CXL 2030 in 12 so we shall see...LOL
I do not mind spending money and losing money on resale to get a perfect fit especially when I get involved with a new shoe maker.....socks have been key for me also as you mentioned...I actually keep the correct fitting socks in the boot boxes so no guessing required. I did order at the suggestion of someone on the forum a pair of sox that has extra heel thickness to see how that works with my viberg size 12.

It is from a site called 4horseman they have tons of sizes available...really took all my power not to order but I just do not need another black boot.

I have the first edition of this boot and wear it a lot in inclement weather. Great barrier against the elements and toasty warm. Maybe that's my socks...Really like this boot ....if it were offered in the Mocha Roughout and brown leather I would be searching the cushions for coins to buy it..
I am really pleased with my first Vibergs. They look well constructed and feel really solid.

I have a question for those of you with double leather soled Vibergs: are you timid of wet sidewalks? I've been wearing a pair in some light rain, but this of course is enough to get the soles wet. I always let them dry a full day before wearing again, but I'm wondering if anyone does things like applies venetian cream to the soles to condition them? Or is that just silly? I think I've seen it done before on leather shoe care guides.
I don't baby my Vibergs, leather soles notwithstanding. I avoid torrential downpours, but I'm not going to skip out on wearing them just because the sidewalks are wet. I live in the Northeast so ce la vie.
