Anyone with sizing recs and/or fit/construction opinions on the slip on sneakers (not the slippers)?

Looking back in the thread, been asked a few times, but can't find any definitive first hand info.

I have normal width feet with a brannock of 8.5. I size down one, size 7.5, for all viberg boots in the 1035/2030/2050/2020 last. For the tie on sneakers in the 1003 last, I wear the same size 7.5. But for the slip on sneaker in the 1005 last, I size down an extra half size to a size 7

Super helpful. And for the 1005 slip sneaker, do you find it comparable in comfort and weight to other slip on sneaker brands? I've never handled a non-boot Viberg. A bit skeptical

It's pretty robust. Comfort takes some time as the leather relaxes but it's definitely heavier and more robust than vans for example. I can tell with all of my viberg sneakers they will last much longer though

Viberg is having an archive sale 15% off on their website

@goalaso. I take the same size in the Viberg slipon sneakers as I do in the 2030/1035/2040 lasted footwear.

Oh boy. I went a size down. Might have some slip-ons going to market soon, we'll see.

Well, I'm probably a 9 or an 8.5 in slipons, according to @bry2000 and @WatchesCars (the name just clicked for me). Current price is a bit steep for me, but if anyone is looking to resell lightly used a bit lower, pm me. Especially intrigued by the green and the cxl.

Ooh, just noticed a key difference between the slip on listed in the archive sale and those listed currently on the site. The archives ones say "cemented construction", while the non-archive ones say " a modified channeled insole Goodyear welt construction." They look identical otherwise. Is this real? Kind of a dealbreaker for such expensive sneakers if they are truly cemented construction and can't be resoled, unless I'm misunderstanding the meaning of these terms

Hey,
I need your help finding my size with last 1035.
I have a pair of Alden Van last size 11.5D US.
Camina - 10.5UK D width almost consistently and sometimes can go 11UK D width.
Parkhurst - Size 10.5D.

Which do you think will work for me?

I wear

Alden Van last - 9.5D
Carmina Uetam & Oscar - UK 9 E regular width

and can wear Viberg 1035 in 9 (close fitting) & 9.5 (generous fitting)

Did you wrote the Van last size in UK (written on the box 10.5D)?

Nope, US. I mentioned all my sizes in respective to how the makers list them as. i.e. Carmina UK & Alden US

Someone is selling a pair of the WF Maryam boots in size 13 EE because the ankle opening is too big. Looking at it, it looks huge - is it always this big on size 13 boots? Or did they increase ankle volume for the EE? I previously reached out to Viberg about this (in 2020), and I was told that only ball width would be changing with the widths, not volume elsewhere.
