I take a US9.5 in Iron Rangers should I go for the same of stick to my usual US10?

EDIT
Actually never mind, I've got enough boots!

Nice Giles!

@Giles:

I love my Russells but the need a resole and the crepe sole will be awful through the winter.  So the Red Wings come in and I can wear them through the winter and send my Russells back for a rebuild…....Perfect...

Question about red wings:
I'm thinking of picking up a pair of 1907s soon and I was wondering if these would hold up well in the winter. Would the soles slip on the ice or no?

[DougNg]

Other than boots with the metal teeth on the bottom, I've found that everything slips on ice….

[Blackheart]

I have the 1907's, they wouldn't be good for ice/snow. They do slip and they're not insulated so they'd
be cold for winter weather.

and 8E fit me perfect :).  I was a bit worried due finding plenty of size down 1/2 size advice on these shoes but I have discovered the size down advice doesn't work for something with an E width.

Thank you both for the info!

Blackheart, so you saw the black ones in the LA store  ?

To anyone with the Hawthorne Muleskinner leather, how have you treated/protected it? i am dying to wear my new pair that i just got in, but i want to treat these prior to wearing them. Any suggestions? i saw online at the red wing site that they have a red wing protector and at another place (brooks brothers) they said mink oil would be a good idea. Can someone please shed some light? i have the Iron Rangers.

[D97x7]

All I put on my Hawthornes was the Redwing protector, the mink oil is for the brown or black ones not the ones with roughout leather.

really good pic.

Please don't. These are no hip hop Timberlands that need to be spotless and clean. Hawthornes (at least the Iron Rangers) NEED to look greasy.
Not the best pics but I think you can see what I mean:



Thes were never treated at all.
