Well, that's calmed my anxiety chaps…!!!!
I guess we'll see, the service boots I'm selling (sob) are definitely too tight and they're a 9.5, so I think a 10.5/10 for my feet are a good estimation.
Whether or not that translates to a 10 on the 110 is another matter.
If it's a bit loose, I'll just chuck in some comfy insoles and get on with it.

I agree, the same thought crossed my mind when doing them bit I thought maybe they used some type if computer imaging with tracing and measurements to recreate the foot but I don't really see how it would be possible… Though I think it would be interesting concept to look into, but that's another story. If you are close I think it would be worth the extra $ to find a way to go be sized in person. After all, your purchasing a pair of boots that are intended to last a lifetime. Might as well give it all the effort you can to MAJE sure they love you as much as you love them. E.g. You'll want a perfect fit and nothing less will feel like it was quite worth the $$$

Im holding fast for you buddy!

Yeah–I have the same anxiety Aries, I was sized at an 8.5 E and I'm 75% sure it should be D, I don't have wide feet. And Vibergs seem wide already, even at D.
There are ways of fitting people accurately and remotely, the high end cowboy bootmakers have kits that account for 3 dimensions. I think Viberg needs to get into that, for the price the things cost.

This is exactly what morgan suggested to me as well. Numerous times i messaged him second guessing this because of my narrow feet I am a D at the most and can normally wear a C if available but he insisted that E was practically a D and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference….He, was wrong. m(nothing against Morgan, it was my decision in fact my decision in the end, i just decided to go with his suggestion) I honestly wish I would have went with Giles original sizing advice on my first pair of Vibergs and think I would have been dead on.

Yep…. I believe history is repeating itself. I suspect G tried to save me too. I told him my size and he was like "ok 8.5D, check." And I said back that Morgan had said E...

I wear 9.5D (digitally measured) in Red Wing. In Magli and Ferragamo I am a reliable 8.5. In US sneakers I am a reliable 9.5D. In Japanese shoes I am a 27cm / size 9. My Lofgren boots are US9.5D, my Road Champs are US10D, but heavily modified, so that doesn't count. All of these fit me perfectly. I don't have Brannock measurements unfortunately or even a ruler here to measure my foot length or width at the ball. I do have high arches. I don't have wide feet. They're not skis by any means, but I think they should be D for the most part.

I think it also has to do with how people like their shoes to fit. I have always worn 7.5 in Alden (truebalance and barrie) but then I was told that I should wear a 7, but I prefer the way 7.5 feels (in boots at least). Also, I think engineers are a bit harder to get a perfect fit. That's why I decided to use Wesco's custom fit form, which seems to have worked perfectly for me.

Interesting mclain, I'm a 10.5-11 in similar sneaker and boot sizes.
Yeah superfuzz, that's a large part of what makes boots so tricky; everyone has a different feel for it.
Also has a lot to do with socks and specific parts of your foot (like mclain says, high arches or flat feet, wide feet, narrow feet etc.!).
