"Crazy DR Sizing advice" on top left square....is that true?
A few days back I asked here what would my size be in Viberg 2030 if I wear Alden Trubalance 13D , Grant Stone Leo 13E and Allen Edmonds Higgins Mill 13EEE and was advised Viberg 2030 in size US13.
Since then I have been communicating with Division Road and they advise, based on the same info that I should go for US12 in 2030.....
I am inclined to go with US13 but now I am confused....
When you say "US13" do you mean Viberg 13?"Crazy DR Sizing advice" on top left square....is that true?

Are US13 and Viberg 13 different?When you say "US13" do you mean Viberg 13?
Viberg purportedly uses UK sizing, but as you have already learned, that’s just, like, their opinion, man...Are US13 and Viberg 13 different?
I mean I would want to go for US13 as that's what I wear in everything with width depending on the last/brand. Does that correspond to Viberg 13 or Viberg 12 ?

+1I'll jump in here, as the "crazy" DR sizing advice is only crazy for what seems like a pretty even split of people here. For some, including me, it has been spot on.
I am comfortable in a 7.5 in the 2030, and wear either a 8EEE or an 8.5E in the Grant Stone Leo. I will be surprised if a size 13 in the 2030 (I am talking about the Viberg size printed on the box, boot or website!) is not rather loose on you. Given the DR return policy, why not give the 12 a try?
Hey, how do you think they're gonna handle the sample same this year?Yes, if you wear a 13E in Leo/Barrie and 13D in TB, a size 12 on 2030 would qualify as crazy DR sizing advice. Coincidentally size 12 is also the largest size DR usually carries. Just need someone to ask about the sample sale and you've got a bingo

It seems you’ve narrowed your sizing to a Viberg 13, which sounds right if you wear Trubalance/Barrie 13D, and your feet are on the wider side (E/EEE on Brannock)...
DR sizing advice is crazy. Over on Reddit some guy posted their one year review of the Oiled Mocha Horsebutt in 1035 and talked about how painful they were to break in and that he lost so much skin from tearing up his heel over the months...like that is not normal.

I mean to be fair, I haven’t ever broken in a pair of shoes that didn’t chew little bit of my heel for a period; I had read that as a slight exaggeration for comedic effect. That said, as one of their former victims, I fully agree that DR sizes people way to small.DR sizing advice is crazy.

From recent posts, its seem to be half half. Half of people have gotten perfect advice and the other half has gotten crazy advice.Maybe I’m the only one... My first pair of boots came from DR and they advised I go 1.5 down from my average sneaker size. So my 8.5 went to a 7 and I now have 5 pairs all 7’s (2030 and 110) and I find they fit me perfectly.
