Red Wing Shoes
-
My first Redwings after wearing a lot of Meindl and Hanwags previously. The 1907.
Got these mid May and have worn them as much as I could. Not everyday because of the heat but a good amount of kilometers.Now, what can I expect in my break-in journey? I’ve heard everything between two weeks and 1 year. They are as expected softer and maybe starting to mold to my feet. But they are not as comfy as I’ve heard by other redwing owners. Maybe a big difference after 6 months? Asking for your experience.
Just had them brushed and switched up the laces just to try the other ones out.

I own this model too, because the 1907 is the Moc Toe that fits my wide feet best. It took months of regular wear for the boot to conform better to my feet, and even after two years, I still feel like I’m far from finishing the break-in process. With other Moc models (I also have experience with the 875 and 877), breaking them in was much faster, likely due to their simpler construction. -
@matt_rost holy smokes. Thanks for sharing. That slightly change my expectations.
Same reason for choosing to go with 1907, plus the look. I really dig the look of the rough and tuff leather.
Out of curiosity, approximately how much movement do you have per day in them? And have you resoled?
