Red Wing Men's Heritage 8146-6" Moc Lug

The boots arrived today and instantly went on my feet, five hours latter and a three mile walk I took them off without a bit of discomfort or pain from the start they fit like a old friend not something that needs to be broken in and hope they fit latter. After nearly sixty years with Red Win Shoes having feet that were hard to fit since a child I learned long ago to get a fitting first then the shoes. I really recommend not going by your tennis shoe size and try and transplant that to an American Boot bought on the internet. Go to a dealer get fitted, see the shoe,feel the shoe then buy where you want. These boots I received were made 12/16 they are not 2nd's they had their inspection cert signed by Debra and had none of the markings the 15 or so factory 2nd's I have owned ( a small hole at the top of the tongue or a saw tooth area on the inner fold of the tongue) telling a dealer that someone had changed returned boots. The only reason I could see why Amazon marked these down is that they had previously been sent out and the left boot had been tried on while the box was beaten and tattered the boots were flawless and the garbage did not mind a beat box. If you want comfort and support especially on cement you can't go wrong and while the soles won't last forever they will be comfortable and can be replaced even to another style that will wear longer. Besides they look great weather you are old waiting for that Trout to bite or young waiting for the Red Head to notice you.

Here is the scoop on these Red Wings. First they are 100% Legit, they are not knockoffs. I was worried myself because I didn't notice the logo on the side, after doing some research I discovered that Red Wings do not imprint their logo on the side of some of the newer makes. Size wise I read a bunch of mixed information. I ordered 1 full size down originally but I had to send them back for only a 1/2 size down. So make sure you order 1/2 size smaller than your normal sneaker size. To give you more context, I wear size 9 in Nike tennis shoes, so 8.5 Red Wings worked perfect. Okay here is the most important part, the break-in period (I can only speak to the "Charcoal Rough and Tough" model I purchased)... the leather on these boots is quality thick leather. It is no joke and breaking them in is no joke either! I'm used to wearing soft leather Frye and Kenneth Cole boots that aren't necessarily built for work... so breaking in these Red Wings was hell, I'm not going to lie to anyone. Every forum you read online you will discover this is almost a given with Red Wings, you earn them. For me the piping at the top of the boot was digging into my ankle bad until they finally broke-in. Here are a couple tips to help others. If you have problems with the piping digging into your ankle like I did, then for the first two weeks leave the top two eyelets of the boot unlaced. Once they're broke-in you can lace them all the way up with no issues at all. This is a big recommendation here. I used "Sofsole Leather Lube" (you can find it here on Amazon) on my boots to soften the leather. This helped the most, and also add protection to the boots in the process. NOTE: It did darken the leather though, the gray turned almost black (which is what I kinda wanted anyways), I attached a picture of them after I lubed them. Just massage the lube into the boots really well and let them sit over night, the next day wipe off any excess and brush them up. It took me wearing them as my main boot for about 2-3 weeks to break them in. BUT, once they're broke-in you have the best boot you could ever want... they take the shape of your foot and feel great. Hope this helps others.

These are great boots. Don't be afraid to return your shoes if they don't fit. Amazon has a painless return policy. You'll have your money refunded within 2-3 days once you drop them off at UPS (if you used a credit card). Also, just as common practice when buying off Amazon, make sure you are aware of who the vendor is. In this case I made sure the vendor was Redwing Heritage. A little note was included with the shoes that said, "inspected personally by a Donna...examined every detail of this shoe, etc". Reassuring me to no doubt. I went with 10 D first, but had to return them for a wider fit. So, I went with a size 10 2E. Out of the box the width was great, the fit was a bit roomy, not loose, but not quite as snug as I wanted them to be. Simple fix, by putting an insole in the shoe the fit became snug. Vuallah, like a glove and no heel slipping. Just Awesome. Another thing, about the color selection. I had a hard time deciding between going with brair oil slick, or with a more classic leather color. So, when I found these advertised as "brown" on Amazon, it seemed like a good compromise, although I was curious as to what they'd be because I didn't see "brown" on the official Rewing heritage website. As it turns out it appears to me they are the Briar Oil Slick, and they look great. Made in the USA, baby!

Comprata misura a colpo sicuro in quanto possessore di altre paia in altri colori. Come sempre comodissime dopo il " rodaggio" iniziale per ammorbidire un po la pelle, soprattutto nel mio caso sul collo del piede. Calcolate una misura, una misura e mezzo in meno. Io ho 43.5 e devo regolarmente comprare il 42.

The fit was perfect and the boots look great. This is my second pair of Red Wing Moc Toe Boots and like the first pair they needed no real break in and were comfortable right away. These boots are sturdy and will last a long time. i love that these boots can be re-soled to give them a second life once the soles do wear down.

Super Schuh, fällt etwas größer aus als gedacht. Sehr kulanter Verkäufer!!!

Bellissime, come da descrizione. Venditore solerte nella spedizione,ricevute in tre giorni. Consigliato!!

Habe die Schuhe vor einigen Tagen erhalten. Bereits beim auspacken war klar, dass ich die nicht mehr her gebe! Optik und Haptik sind sensationell! Zur Verabreitung kann ich noch nichts sagen, bin aber davon überzeugt, dass die mich viele Jahre begleiten werden! Die Schuhe sind sehr bequem und die Sohle überraschend weich. Ich habe in den meisten Schuhen 47-48. Diese habe ich in 48 und Sie passen sehr gut. Dicke Socken kann ich auch noch ohne Probleme darin anziehen. Der Schuh fällt daher eher größer aus, jedoch sollte man den größeren nehmen, wenn man zwischen zwei Größen entscheiden muss, da bei Red Wing die Breite vor der Länge geht. Die Schuhe sind eher schmal geschnitten und machen sogar bei meinen recht breiten einen schlanken Fuß . Die Größenangaben in cm auf der RW-Internetseite stimmen mit den tatsächlichen Größen überein und können daher auf jedenfall als Referenz bei der Schuhgrößenwahl verwendet werden! ------------- 06.10.13 - Nachtrag Schuhe sind eingelaufen und fühlen sich fantastisch an! Ein "Bläschen" habe ich mir gelaufen, aber das ist nicht der Rede wert zu dem, was man sonst so liest! Wenn ich den Schuh mit normalen dünnen Socken trage, kommt beim anziehen manchmal das Gefühl auf, dass er jetzt etwas zu groß sein könnte - dem ist aber nicht so!!! Er sitzt perfekt und ich bleibe bei meiner Aussage, dass wenn man zwischen zwei Größen liegt, der größere genommen werden sollte + dass die Breite des Fußes vor der Länge geht. Ach so, geliefert wurde nicht der 8131 sondern der Klassiker 875 Moc Toe. War mir recht und habe ihn daher behalten ;-)
