Brett Viberg is making me a pair of those pull-ups right now with a single layer leather sole.

well if they're a UK9 and you decide you don't like them . . .

Dont know yet but I'll let you know as soon as I get to try them on. I was a bit hesitant on the sizing but reckoned that the price was so good it's worth a shot anyway even though I'd have to send them back. I generally have to wear insoles because of my crappy feet so I went TTS with a UK 12 (which I guess is a US13). My RW 3140s are a US 13 and theyre perfect with insoles after breaking in. I have a pair of 875s as well in a US12 but I can't fit a full-length insole in them.

Thats good news Geo, thanks. I did a quick google on sizing, but got conflicting results.

hope they work out Jii - you got a bargain

it's never easy . . . a lot of non-Euro brands can give conflicting sizes

Yuketen and Wolverine are 1/2 size big for me
Red Wing are 1 full size big

Although White's and Viberg seem to be TTS

I just got these and they're perfect sizewise. There's no other size tags other than uk12 (probably Oki-Ni:s own tag) on the box and a 12 stamped inside the boot so I really can't tell what US(?) size they are. They're definitely larger than my UK11/US12 RW 875s so these will fit an insole no problem. I'd say these are pretty much similarly sized as the Timberland 6" premium boot in size US 12.

I'm happy to say I'm extremely (positively) overwhelmed by the quality of craftmanship put into these boots. The leather's  :-* :-*, the finishing is top notch and these look good as FxxK worn. I really hope these will hold up for a long time, I already have a couple of resole plans figured out over time  :D But first I'm going to start working on this bad ass wedge sole. Oh and did I say that I feel like a badass with these on...  ;D

More than happy with this purchase! And shipping took less than 48 hrs as well. Crazy.
