Red Wing Shoes

[Seul]

Three or four wears in dry weather, not stored under a heater (duh), yet they feel and look dry already… Thick coat of Obenauf's LP will be applied this weekend...

Planning to get a pair of beckman 9016. I have a pair of 9111 in 8.5D. Get the same size for 9016?

Quick question for the experienced Red Wing supporters.

I want to buy a pair of Red Wing shoes.
I have to order them although I am not sure what size I should get.
I have heard from many places they run a size large.

So I wear an 11 in Vans.
I wear a 12 in Nike running shoes
And 11.5 in dress shoes.

Anyone have an idea how this translates into a nice Red Wing fit?
Thanks!

Hmm…my advice that i can relate to your sizing is with vans.
i size down 1 size to get a snug fit (which later to expand a bit to nicely fit), or a 0.5 size down for a bit loose fit.
i wear a US9.5 in vans.i got the RW in US9D and a US8.5D. i tried an EE,i could fit an US8.
hope that helps.

Dlaz - Thanks totally appreciate the input!
I'm about to make my purchase.
Ill repost in this thread with info on how it all works out.

9.5 in Vans Authentics,
8.5 in Red Wings 875, perfect/loose fit with thin socks, snuggy but very comfy fit with thick socks.

Those are sweet.  Too bad they are too small for my big feet.

trying out leather laces on the 8131.

[tatmantall]

for those that have the 2917 did you go tts or size down?

[bagley920]

I wouldn't size down IMO. The toe box is pretty narrow for me

[tatmantall]

thank ya sir

[tatmantall]

got my 2197 today… did anyone feel theirs looked a bit odd before the break in period... I dunno they are smaller in overall size than my other boots but kinda look like clown boots IMO right now.. im sure with some creasing set in this will change a bit but just curious of other first impressions

[bagley920]

I get what you're saying. The toe looks bigger than the feel of the boot. They'll loosen up and look better with age

[tatmantall]

right on thanks bagley… I'm gonna sit on it a few days and decided if they stay or if they go back... I'm just not feeling em at this moment

[bagley920]

I had the black one and didn't like the look. The brown suits my eyes fine. I think it's a mental thing
