I like those Half Japanese linafelt, how does sizing compare to your Bounty Hunters. My 7.5 D BHs fit perfect - any suggestions for Viberg's 110 last?
I can't actually say for sure, but I can tell you my history and what I hope the case will be:
So, I measure a 10D on the Brannock and have tended in the past to wear off the shelf 10s (for better or worse). Several years ago I got from Viberg some two pairs of seconds, both 310, one 9 and one 10. The 9 was clearly too small, and the 10 slightly too long, but not wide at all. I tried for a 9.5 on the 2045 but the model was sold out in that size so they said try a 10, which I did. It was only slightly long, but actually a bit tight in the toebox. Send that back for a 10 on the 110, since they said that would give me the extra width in the toebox. But the 110 was too big all around.
So, I am hoping that 9.5 in the 110 will be my Viberg sweet spot. My White's Bounty Hunters are 9.5EE, and are probably too big, but with an insole they work pretty well. My best guess is that Viberg 9.5 on the 110 (a wide last) is about a White's 9.5E on the Semi-dress last.
EDIT: So, sorry, I would guess that your 7.5D in White's might go either 7.5 or perhaps a 7 on the 110 -- but these things are tricky!
