[Rotbart]

I´ll try next time i wear them.

[Concret]

good try Rotbart, those starting to look niceee

[onawave]

yeah thats pretty darn sweet. yeah, glad i went for the amber rangers.... looking forward to wearing them in....

u guys mention that u buy insoles for them? u do this for extra comfort?

[Concret]

^for extra comfort and for a better fit. Just try 'em with any old sneaker insole, you'll feel the difference

[fairylicks]

How much space do you guys have in your toecap?

[Max Power]

dunno, my toes don't touch it, if that helps

[Redwinglover]

rather to much than too less. a thumb, it should be. especially in the moc toes.
the round toes have another shape than the moc toes. the toebox is longer.

[lois]

but don't leave too much.
the guy in the redwing shop told me i should "swim" in the shoe and i believed him, but i always wear the pair he sold me with extra insole and thick socks.
grrrrrrrrrr

[fairylicks]

A thumb seems pretty much to me. I have heard that you should leave at least a thumb of space in running shoes. I ahve maybe half an inch...

[Redwinglover]

at the beginning the boots seams to be to very long, but after some time they shrink a bit in length.

[fairylicks]

Never heard that any kind of leather shoe shrinks with wear. Your own experience?

[rustedmetal]

If anybody is interested; The new Oxblood's are on the shelf in Red Wing!!

[hippopatamus]

hmm interesting , a shrink leather?? did you soak them? lol

[mattias]

I've never heard of leather shrinking. Actually the opposite, most of my natural leather shoes have actually stretched.

[onawave]

did u guys just grab any kind of inner sole for your boots?

[Cold Summer]

Hey guys, I'm planning to buy some Red Wing 8131 boots soon. I wear an 11.5 in Vans, which is pretty much true-to-fit. Should I size down by half or a whole size?

Red Wing boots are incredibly popular in Japan too, it seems like at least 30% of young guys here in Morioka wear them.

[Max Power]

^hard to say, I size down 1 whole size from vans, others only 1/2. I think the major part is the last.

[hippopatamus]

i gone 1 size down too...it will pinch ur feet a bit for the 1st wear but dont be afraid it will stretch a lot till comfortness after a few wear . i wear 10.5 on vans and 9.5 for RW

[lois]

depends on you, if you want to wear it with another insole 1/2 size otherwise 1 size. i have 12 in vans and 11 1/2 with e´xtra insole in rw.

[Jaypee]

Just spotted this pair of bloody boots in the movie "unstoppable" - redwings?
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a211/Jaypeesupra/unstoppable_boots.png

[Slowhand]

^ These boots seem to be "padded" at the top part, around the ancles, and the eyelids for the laces are off too. Maybe RW made something like this at some point, I don't know, but they are definitly not regular 875s. Might be knock offs a la Wolverine etc. I don't think that these are RWs

[Jaypee]

^Yeah, I examined the picture moro thoroughly, and it seems there's no signature triple-stiching on the boots nor is the sole your standard red wing crepe. Cool boots tho.

[onawave]

hey all, just got my redwing rangers. awesome boots. i ended up going for the 8.5, and im normally a 9 in con's, and this is where its a bit dubious. i got a inner sole, and wearing normal thin socks, and i find that they still rub a bit on the heel.

im thinking about sending these back for a size 8. the only other thing i can think of is to go for some thick socks....?

help and advice appreciated.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thick socks are way to go IMO. makes it a lot more comfortable

[Max Power]

The Red Wing socks are really comfy and nice, but just too warm now. I can wear my Red Wings with all kinds of socks and they still feel comfy, burlington wool may be a compromise between thick and thin.

[Rotbart]

I own tonns of socks (around 60 pairs?) and prefer caterpillar socks in red wings. Cheap, comfy and no steaming and smelly feet!:tongue: Half way between thick and thin IMO and still wearable in summer. Available in black, navy and grey ...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah I can also wear all kind of socks in them...but if I wear really thin socks I get blisters

[dr.house]

Thick worker socks are the reason for RWs oversizing which works perfect in fall/winter and yeah, I don't wear boots in spring/summer.

[VroomVroom]

Fact: I want Redwings
Problem: Cultizm doesn't have my size anymore
Question: do they restock?

:lol:

[beautiful_FrEaK]

it may sound dumb but in the time you wrote that post above you might just have written a little e-mail to cultizm and asking them?!

[VroomVroom]

Touché...

[Cold Summer]

My 8131Ds arrived today! No customs charges to Japan from Cultizm, thank goodness. I can't wait to take them home and try 'em on.

An American buying an American shoe from a German website shipped to his home in Japan. Life is strange sometimes.

[Redwinglover]

greate purchase.
have fun with your new boots.

[Fjodor]

found some black iron ranger in a local store for a bargain, but a half size bigger than my 8111 that fit perfectly. can i still wear them with insoles, or should i sell them? thx

[Cold Summer]

The boots are awesome! Only thing I don't like is how hard it is to take them on and off. Does this get easier as they're broken in?

[Jaypee]

^It does get easier - what I do is I always undo the laces from the top holes and then loosen the laces all around. Then my foot just snaps into place and tying them again is no biggie for me.

[Redwinglover]

after two weeks of wearing you think they are loafers.

Anyone know hows to size RW 595? Like all other models RW?

[Cold Summer]

After stomping around my village for close to two hours the other day, I discovered my RWs had rubbed a bloody hole in my left ankle... whoops! It didn't hurt very much, though, and my socks seem plenty thick. Guess I'd better be more careful as I break these things in.

[Redwinglover]

How is the size in this ones?TTS?

[Redwinglover]

hi concret,

i wear a 10,5US in gts. in this one 11US.

[Cold Summer]

I like my 8138s so much that I ordered another pair! Went for some Iron Ranger 8112s, and size down half since my first pair, while not too big, are definitely a bit larger than I'd like. I might get some 8131s soon as well since those are so cheap in Japan.

[denimjunkie]

Iron Ranger 1.5 years and after a slight buff.

I see tons of people in Japan wearing the moc toe (8131, etc.) but not Iron Rangers or Beckmans.

I like your picture and "Japanese style" kitchen! :lol: It reminds me of the kitchen of my home in Tokyo....

Yep, it's a nice house! Definitely feels Japanese. I do wish the doors were higher though, this place was not designed for 191cm-tall Americans!

[Max Power]

Aloha. I'm thinking of getting GTs for a long time now. It came doen do either the 9013 or 9014. I'm torn between suitable for work/suit (black) and nice looking with aging abilities (brown). Opinions?

http://www.volls.de/Media/Shop/9013b.jpg

http://www.volls.de/Media/Shop/rw9014b.jpg


X-Post. need some opinions (fast):-P

[FOXY]

as I suggest in x-post: go with brown - more rewarding colour in the long run - will show wear&tear, develop patina, and you can always tone the colour down with coloured shoe polish...

[Max Power]

thanks. Best thing will be, I'll try them on and see how it works. ATM, I'm leaning towards the black ones, as I already got the 877 and 8112 in brown.

[Cold Summer]

I ordered some size 10 8131s - I absolutely love the Oro Russet Porridge color and would have gotten my first pair in this color if I'd known that I should have sized down one more. My 8138s are just a bit too big on me, so I'll probably save them for heavy-duty/dirty activity and wear the 8112 and 8131 for everyday life.

I'm loving my Iron Rangers. The only thing that bothers me is how the heel inside the shoe has a separate leather overlay on top of the main sole, instead of one continuous piece of leather like on the moc toe boots. It looks kind of cheesy; I assume it's done this way because the construction attaching the sole is different on this boot?

[obbigood]

thanks. Best thing will be, I'll try them on and see how it works. ATM, I'm leaning towards the black ones, as I already got the 877 and 8112 in brown.

haha! you have got the same reason when I choose my black GT.
Black, my vote :)

[Max Power]

Thanks...but I got one secret ace (1909)...but I think the black GT will win the race

[Redwinglover]

the black gts look like "springerstiefel". i would go for the cigar ones.

[Max Power]

Well, I used to like Dr. Martens when i was a teenager (and loving grunge and punkrock). But I feel like I need one decent black boot, that I can also wear at work. And the 9011 or 9013 are pure beauties, but don't serve this purpose. And when I feel like doing an all black day, they will be badass.

Hello
anyone know where i can get my red wing resole in Canada? i live in Toronto area and i have been asking many authorized red wing retailers and none of them knows X.X...and i emailed red wing US to ask them but they kept giving me this location really far away from where i live so i really don't know what to do.
thanks!

[laxlife1234]

Want a new pair of red wings! But, I don't feel like buying a new pair, so maybe I can convince my mom to get me a new pair haha. Anyways, here are my 8181's at around 5-6 months? I have had them since December, but am unsure of weartime on them.

You're not the only one - I love well-loved and well-maintained boots, but I hate deliberately-abused or just dirty boots. Dirty boots are all very fine when you're young, but things become different when you're over 30 ;-). Anyway my motto is; boots that I wear "daily" should be clean - not dirty or abused.

Hello All, so this is my first post on the mynudies forum and I made an account to share my love of nudies and red wings.Now back to the topic, I'm looking to buy the iron range 6'' in the brown color. Buying won't be an issue because we have a redwing retail store in town. (I live in minnesota,same state where they're manufactured). Can anyone post pics of what they look like after they're "broken in".I need a good pair of boots to go with my slim fitting pants before fall\winter.thanks

[Hobaud]

Hi Laxlife,

What do you use to clean the sole?

[nekonano]

hey guys...is this legit?

http://www.kaskus.us/showthread.php?t=8163961

[Concret]

they dont look legit, imo

[fred1021]

Hi guys, just a quick question regarding insoles. I have two pairs of RedWings: GT and Moc Beckmans. Both are size 8us. What's the rule here, do you need insoles since both come with none? I grabbed the insoles of my tennis shoes (very comfy) they fit nice in the Moc Beckmans but not at all on the GT! The GTs fit me perfectly without insoles and the Mocs are very roomy. I sweat a lot and my boots get 'wet' basically. So I thought maybe with insoles that would help. But alas the GTs will definetly NOT take insoles (even thin ones). It basically feels like I am choking my foot :) <<<<I'm asking because I had a pair of Dr. Martens *made in England* and they only had the back heel part of the insole (just like the red wing) but the rest (after years of use started to like 'peel' off like when you get a piece of cardboard and rub it with your hand)-so I assume it was hard-press cardboard??? (Pretty sure redwing is leather right????)

[Concret]

^Do not worry dude, i had the same issue with a pair of RW Chelsea, it was no room for a insole and my feet were sweating a lot, but the LEATHER inside never broke out (like dr. marteens crap;)).
Try with a thin leather insole and light socks, it might help.

[fred1021]

thanks Concret. Will not worry then. Will rock them hard from now on. hahaha. (just another question.) I usually wear different pair of shoes everyday but would like to 'just wear my redwings and give them hell hahaha. Would it be wise to buy one of those 'overnight driers?'. Or should I just rotate??? I kind of understand that rotating is good for your shoes (keeps them smelling clean) and for you your toes...they won't have to put up with the same position all the time :) What's the opinion here????

[Concret]

I think both ways would be fine, a drier and a good rotation. Humidity is no good either for your shoes and feet...keep it dry!

[fred1021]

thanks concret will do. :)

[laxlife1234]

Huh? If you want the 875, just get it then... Only you know what you like so just choose the style that best suits you. Otherwise if you need help with sizing make sure you size down half a size.

[buMbum]

Oww ic .. Btw is rw 1907 is good ?? Or any recommended rw ? Hahhaha

[Redwinglover]

1907 has a smaller toebox than the 875 and another welt which i like more.

they have another last too.

im digging the second one, almost got them on Ebay a time ago.

[Max Power]

Yeah, me too. Just dunno about the sole. I fear that they look to girly and are not suitable for winter. I'll have to try them on and check. The loggers would make me look badass and 2" taller :lol:

[kayodic]

the red ones are such beauties (or beasts). they dont look girly at all on you.... cmon Flo, you did preorder em aight? i believe you can pull them off well with your badass outfit.

[Concret]

they look everything but girly dude, i had a pair of 957 and is the same leather and boot construction, apart from the sole of course; their aging is awesome.
About winter, maybe if you step on snow, but i have to say that mine 875's gave me good traction on that situation.

[Max Power]

Really? I found my Iron Rangers to be much more tacky than my 877s, on ice at least. The 2940s still are my first choice, as they're limited and the red leatehr is supa cool.

[Concret]

weird, with the cork sole from mine 9161's, i feel like dancing tap when on ice. Indeed that red is cool, where you buying from, Japan?

No, the Red Wing store in Hamburg ordered a small batch and I'm on the preorder list ;-)

Hey, can someone help me with some Red Wing model numbers? I've been looking for a pair of 8" or 11" Engineering boots for my girlfriend for a while now, and I remember the model number was up at the redwing website, but I can't find it anymore. Can someone pass me the model numbers for the engineering boots for women?

Hey Rafa, can you pm me pics and price incl. post to NL. I might be interested. I have the 9161 in US9.5 and they fit a bit too big. What size do you use in Vans and how is the fit on your 9162's? tight?

[Concret]

@Jaypee, you can try with the 2991....sorry, double post

This is a hard one since both are actually almost the same Shen it comes to their width and all!
I thin the Beckmann line looks a tad slimmer since they don't have this toe-cap but that's about it?

So it's actually just the question to answer,which do you like best?...


Btw. ...

Selling a pair of US9 9162! So if anybody's Interesses PLZ pm me about the details!!!...

[StreetdogsinBolivia]

Howdy all.

I'm frothing on getting a pair of Iron Rangers Hawthorne Muleskinner. I recently went into the shop here in melbourne that old mate working there says is the only retailer in all of Aus.
Anyway, the shop only had a 9.5US (D) in these, which were waaaay too narrow for me. He also told me he doesn't have any 2E width in Iron Rangers.

I'm wondering if anyone has had the same problem with width sizing? I'd be seriously surprised if they hadn't as I've never had a width problem with any other shoe before...

Anyone know how much wider the 2E is than the D??

Cheers!

[davety]

i don't like your chances on finding anything other than D- i usually take the same size as you in EE (US9.5), but i've found that RW usually stretches out to accommodate, and i have 4 pairs in D- painful at first, but fine in the long run. that said, i don't know your specific circumstances, so you may want to try bakers for the EE size, i know that shoebuy.com used to have a small range of EE but i think they've cut the line completely. Btw you're nuts if you're paying australian retail with the dollar like it is.

ps yes baker does have the EE- check here

rangers with TF.... looks alright?

cant find a place to try a IR in syd

[davety]

i think the sizing is by and large the same across most of the red wing lines, that being deduct 1/2 size from your US size, remembering that in australia we mostly use UK sizing, which is one lower than the US. i think- altho i don't know if this is still the case- that deus ex machina carries some RWs, so they're worth checking out if you need to try on a pair. i came to my sizing with trial and error, but generally US-1/2 or UK+1/2 works fine, especially against a standard size shoe like Puma or Dunlop volleys- don't try and measure against an adidas or converse because their sizing is a little askew.

red wing australia can estimate your size if you fax them an outline of your foot, but you'd be expected to buy through them, i would imagine- probably worth the extra money, but i can assure you that small fits will stretch out to comfortable- my first pair was sized down a full size and were too small, but they fit fine now. it was very painful for a while when breaking in, but trust me- even if you get the right size you're in for at least a month of pain with any RW while breaking them in, and that's a standard observation over 4 pairs. that is the real price of RW ownership, but that said, after the break-in they'll last you for years of comfort.

[Cold Summer]

I had to go down 1.5 from my US size to get the right fit on my boots. Normally I wear 11.5 in something like Vans or Onitsuka Tiger, but 10.0 in Red Wings.

The only thing uncomfortable for me is the back ankle part, which tends to really wear my ankle sore especially in my moc toe boots. That may be more the fault of my socks. My Iron Rangers quickly became very comfortable, though.

[davety]

@ streetdogsinbolivia- go to this link NOW-

http://www.redwingshoes.com.au/heritage-lifestyle/8113-iron-ranger-hawthorn,p67/

that is as good a price as you'll get anywhere, and they'll fix up your sizing issues for you, easy returns etc. that is my final word on the subject.

[latterdue]

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the Red Wing factory seconds being sold on ebay? They seem to be popular...

[Max Power]

No, sorry, but do you have a link?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

just search on ebay.com
there are many 877 for under 150$. I was also tempted

[Naoto the Zombie]

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the Red Wing factory seconds being sold on ebay? They seem to be popular...

I bought a pair of factory second 875 from eBay (USA) 5 years ago - they were 49.98USD + 27.80P&P to the UK. They had a couple of minor scratches and a punch-hole on the both tongues (this means they're factory second), otherwise they're OK. I'm quite chuffed with them.

[latterdue]

I'm kind of sort of contemplating it as they cost 99 - 125 USD. However, new ones aren't that much more expensive anyway. Thanks for your responses. Here's a link, btw: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RED-WING-877-AUTHENTIC-BOOTS-NEW-BOX-/220775820707?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26po%3D LVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D2295196881133608147

[Max Power]

Really? New ones cost up to 400$. The 877 is a great boot, why not get one? Most second choice examples don't differ much from the original models, at least that what I experienced in other clothes.

[Concret]

i bough once 3 pairs of 877 seconds to re-sell them, the defects were minor. For that price, i say get them!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

of course out of my size...

[latterdue]

In Oslo new ones from the shop is about $450 which of course is absolutely ridiculous! Hoping the guy selling those will re-stock soon. My size is out too.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah prices in Europe are usually higher.
but because of you guys I found the 899 in my size...mhh...140$

That´s really cheap. Fcuk some scratches, which you will get anyway with wear...

And the second stage is coming up..... :-D

jealous of your Engineers! (but you know that)
I'm not sure, both Japanese editions?

[Max Power]

Holy Moly, that's a nice collection. Do you happen to knowm, if the red engineers feature the same colour as the 2940?

[Naoto the Zombie]

@Bf
As you may remember, I bought all of them in the UK (to be exact, from eBay) except for 2972, which I bought from http://www.onlyredwing.com
So they're not that collectable.

@MP
Yes, the colour is Oro Russet (reddish brown). I bought them as dead stock (without box) from eBay at 49.99GBP last year.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

bought from ebay doesn't mean they are not an Japanese edition ;-)

haven't seen that sole on many models lately except for the Japanese editions

[Naoto Deluxe]

After drying, apply the conditioner - it's very important after wet-cleaning.

Yes. Since I found a better leather cleaner than any other oils products, I have to use the lotion conditioner to emollient after wet cleaning.

P.S. Thanks Obbi!

Great boots Naoto! Oro Russet is my favorite color for Red Wings, and incidentally the most popular one in Japan.

[Naoto the Zombie]

@kayodic
Cheers, love! Yes, you should wear your engineers more often! ;-)

@Cold Summer
Yes, Oro Russet is my favourite colour, too.
Why don't you go for unusual RW boots only available in Japan while you are there? There are some unique models you could find at ABC Mart or BEAMS.

P.S. I hope the hurricane won't hit the town you live.....

[Max Power]

Man, Ika, if you get them 8-inchers, we'll to a hardcore-8"-red-red-wing-duel, 2940 against those moc toes, ok? And this time I won't be gentle because you're a girl.

[kayodic]

^according to RW site, US 6.5 is the smallest one boooo! so the Red Red Red Red Red Red Red Red Red Red Red Red Wing duel wont never happen!

but i gotta check them first.... if they do have, i'll defo knock you out....

[Max Power]

Nothing that thick socks won't fix. I scent fear :-P

[kayodic]

^inner soles, thick socks cant help!!! besides that i dont want the boots look like clown shoes on me so i'll give it a pass :(

[Cold Summer]

I've seen RWs at ABC Mart and some other places when I visited Osaka, but I don't recall seeing any unique Japan-only ones. I don't know if they have them in my size (A US 10) anyway since I can't find any other shoes in Japan that fit me. By American standards, my foot size (11.5) is not really that big.

We've gotten some rain the past few days, but other than that things are fine here.

[ThatDamnBeaver]

Anyone have any experience with ClassicRedWingShoes.co.uk? Are they safe?

[Naoto the Zombie]

@ThatDamnBeaver

Yes, they're alias "American Classics" in Covent Garden, London. I have been to their shop several times before, but they don't sell RW boots particularly cheap - you might find the same boots cheaper in your town or country, I think.....

[ThatDamnBeaver]

209 pounds for IRs is pretty cheap i think. Here in sweden they cost atleast 250-270 pounds a pair.

[Naoto Deluxe]

After wet-washing and applying the conditioner, I always give an extra treatment for my engineers.

This is a shoe cream called "Diamant" from Collonil, which gives crystal shine on my boots.
Apply small amount of Diamant (using my fingers) evenly, then brush it like hell.

Pros:
Make my boots very shiny like dress boots (just imagine the GT/Beckman boots)
Small scratches on the toes would be less visible
Easy to clean the dirt
Become more waterproof (but I'm not sure - still investigating)

Cons:
If you'd like to keep the original "mat sheen" of your boots, then don't!
Can't be used on suede/nubuck boots.
Diamant is quite smelly

Good luck, good fvck! Bye for now.

^ Looks good! Might have to consider doing this in the winter when water is an issue as well.

Btw (@everyone), stumbled across these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Red-Wing-8111-Lifestyle-Iron-Ranger-Mens-Boot-sz-8-5-D-/250861587210) in my continuing search for boots. They are legit rangers, right? Quite a bit cheaper than other pairs I've seen...

[p90xyz]

[nekonano]

guys..red wing noob question. The soles of 8875 / 8131 / 875 are supposed to be curved or flat?

http://humankindfactor.wordpress.com/2010/07/20/more-red-wing-outcast-store-2/

[James Pinner]

There is a bit of a curve to them, well atleast mine do. I looked at the link and iv never seen ones like the middle pic before they are well flat ?

[nekonano]

exactly, the one is that is almost flat i've seen so far is the 1907 but not 875 / 8138 / 8875

[Max Power]

I second that. Never seen a flat sole like the middle pair has.

[moyet79]

Hi all,

Would like to share my RW 8138 here; I'm owned this boot more than 5 years... really love this boot! :)

Now I think to re-sole this boot.... But I've no ideal where can get the re-sole service ( my location at Asia).

Anyone here re-sole your lovely RW boot before? any infor can share with me?

thanks.

[James Pinner]

No info sorry but would like to say those boots are sweet. They look like they still have plenty of life left in the soles to me?

[Naoto Deluxe]

The easiest way is to ask the shop that you bought from - they should be able to tell you. Or if you bought your pair from the private sale or the auction, then simply ask www.redwing.com for the nearest workshop.

But brace yourself - having your boots resoled would be quite expensive! Good luck!

[moyet79]

Thanks James.

Like most of RW boot, the sole gone very fast at heel and side section... same like mine :(

[moyet79]

Thanks Naoto.

I think resole the boot is only the way to bring them alive, and nobody here will bin it.

[Kmart.]

Closeup on my new IR:

http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp328/Kmart921/100_3119.jpg

There are a couple discolored spots on the left toe, but I don't think it's a huge deal. Opinions?

[Naoto Deluxe]

Are they factory-second?

[James Pinner]

Sweet dude there well nice. As for the spots a bit of neatsfoot oil would darken them if you are bothered bout it but they still look sweet to me!

[Kmart.]

Are they factory-second?

Nope, got them from a local RW store. Actually, the first ones I got (which were too small) had the same markings. Weird.

[Naoto the Zombie]

Nope, got them from a local RW store. Actually, the first ones I got (which were too small) had the same markings. Weird.

If I were you, I'd bring them back to the shop for exchange. I'd compromise if I bought them from eBay or were on sale or factory-second cheaply, but yours were new from the RW shop, weren't they?

But in the end, it's up to you!

[Concret]

I wouldn't mind. In a couple of months time, you not gonna be able to see the spots anymore ;)


Nice boots though, my favorite RW leather.

[offyatree]

don't baby those rangers. unless you are a perfectionist :smile::smile:

[Cold Summer]

A while ago I saw some Red Wing long wallets (!!) at a store in Osaka. Anybody know what the story is behind these? I'm guessing that Red Wing licensed their name to some Asian maker that actually makes the wallets. I don't see anything about them on RW's Japanese website.

You can see some of them here: http://threewood.jp/SHOP/32369/466133/list.html

In other news, I'm thinking about getting some Beckman 9011s in a few months. In addition to being inherently sexy, the fact that I can wear them casually or with my suit for work is very appealing, and given our harsh, snowy winters in northern Japan, I worry standard dress shoes may not do the job.

[Concret]

Question, someone knows how is the fit -size wise- on this chukkas?:

[Concret]

I might try them in Amsterdam, but just wanted to ask to save me the trip. It would be my next winter pair. Why did you apologize?

[Max Power]

because I don't know the answer to your question ;-)

[Concret]

oh, you don't have to mate, but thanks for your politeness :-D

[Cold Summer]

I sold my 8138s since they were half a size too big (10.5), but they were my first pair and I sized my other two right so it's all part of the learning experience. Anyway, the 9011s look really sexy but everything I've read says they're incredibly tough to break in!

The other pair I'm considering are the 8130 black moc toes. I have the 8131s and love 'em, but the 8130 look seriously badass!

[Fjodor]

Concret, i have both chukkas 3140 and 3146 in the same size,
the Blueberry are new and looking slimmer, but they fit perfectly.

Hi there, guys help me to find my size for my first pair RW.
I wear chucks 8.5, vans 9 and dont know what choose for RW. My foot is 26.5 cm, so i hope anyone have same foot length and write what size you wear. I think this is the best way to find my size.
Thanks.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

8,5

[JTb]

You seem to be the same size as me, I'm a size 9 in vans and I wear 7,5 in RW. The best thing would be if you could try some on though since most ppl recomend sizing down only 0,5 - 1.

[James Pinner]

Are all these sizes in US? cos in vans im a US 9 and my Red Wing 8138`s are US 8.
